Big Lots

Washington Plaza

Washington St

Middletown, Connecticut

Emma: *gets some Chips Ahoy cookies*

Cashier: Will that be all?

Emma: Yes.

Cashier: *scans the cookies* $2.19.

Emma: I'm a dollar short. Can you spot me?

Man: Me?

Emma: Yes. I'm just a dollar short.

Man: I don't have any cash on me. Only my debit card. Sorry.

Emma: Well, this is sorta awkward.... *backs away slowly with the cookies*

Cashier: Where are you going? You have to pay for that.

Emma: *swiftly runs out of Big Lots with the cookies*

Cashier: We got a shoplifter!! *calls the cops*

Emma: *quickly runs out of the parking lot and back onto Washington St* I better hightail back home, before the cops pursue me!

Cops: *turn their siren on and drive towards Emma on Washington St*

Emma: *runs onto West St*

Cops: *turn onto West St*

Emma: *runs onto Middlefield St* Maybe I can lose them on this street! I can run left onto Butternut St, and head back home that way!

Cops: *turns right onto Middlefield St*

Emma: Don't they ever give up?! *getting tired of running*

Cops: *gets out of the car* Drop those cookies, and put your hands in the air!

Ken: *driving on Middlefield St* Emma?!!!!

Emma: Ken!!! Uh oh!!! *gulps*
