"Akira!! Get down here hun!" I heard my mom yell up through the stairs.
Without a word I rushed downstairs to see two cops standing in the front doorway.
No way. What's this?What's going on? I thought.
One of the cops had his hands crossed against his chest. The other had one hand in his pocket, the other on his belt loop.

'Yeah?" I said. I think I was responding to my mom. I'm not quite sure.

Darling, these people said something about-" she choked "Theft?"
She said. More like a question. My mom cocked her head toward the cops. She had her "Can I get you anything to drink?" expression on. But she never offered them a drink. I guess she didn't want to seem so desperate to the cops that the would go so low as to suck up.

"Um...Theft?" I said. Almost exactly like my mom. I bit my bottom lip. Hard.
I never stole anything. I could feel the sweat trickle on my forehead.
