(25) To the Rescue

“Excuse me?” Anna said as she turned to Seline and stared her down “How dare you say something like that. I’ve never stolen anything in my life.”

“Right.”

“Miss we need to check your bag just in case.” The scowling manager said with an indecisive look “There has been an accusation and I do need to check.”

“I’m trying to pay for all this merchandise not steal it. That’s what this card is for.” Anna said incredulously motioning to the card.

“It’s probably stolen or maxed out, that is a lot of money to spend for someone who had so little,” Seline said thoughtfully.

“Stay out of this!” Anna said growling at Seline. “You don’t know anything.”

“She’d pretty defensive for someone who’s not done anything.”

“Well, I am sorry,” The dark-haired manager said looking ashamed for the first time “but I have to check your bag please.”
