Chapter 1 Under the Bed

Under the dim streetlight, Jeff dropped a cigarette butt that had almost burned to the filter on the ground.

Immediately thereafter

His eyes quickly looked to the sides while habitually stepping on the cigarette butt with the sole of his leather shoe and rubbing it back and forth.

"Hiss ...... damn ......"

Jeff shook his feet hard, he forgot that the soles of his shoes have long been worn thin nearly breathable, which was burned to the soles of the feet.

Evening wind wrapped in the cold in the streets back and forth, the road has not seen a few pedestrians, a few in the distance is also wrapped in a hat scarf low head hurriedly rushed.

Jeff will own a coat collar turned up, on both sides of the collar due to stains and show oil, but at the moment, but can give him a sense of security that he is being hidden and protected.

The front is 128 Mink Street, from 50 to 200, are all townhouse buildings, whether to buy or rent here, probably will not be the rich, but at least considered middle class.

The house in front of me is a family of three, the man is a doctor, the woman is a teacher, and they have a seven-year-old son.

During the day, a maid comes to clean and tidy the house, but the maid does not stay overnight and will go home after preparing dinner.

In addition, the family had a habit of going out to the theater every Saturday night.

The door was opened and the man in a black suit came out first, starting the car parked in front of the door.

Then, the lady in a red dress also led the child out of the door, closed the door behind her, and got into her husband's car with the child laughing and talking.

Afterward, the

the car drove away.

Jeff ran his tongue over his upper and lower lips, stepped up quickly, flipped first over a low wooden fence that couldn't stop even a small dog, landed in the flower garden, and then stepped quickly up the steps, took a key out of his pocket and inserted it.

"Click ......"

The crisp sound indicated the successful opening of the door.

Three months ago, when Jeff, who was still a moving company worker, was providing moving services for this family, the lady of the house trustfully gave the moving company the key to her new home, and Jeff took the opportunity to secretly match one.

Only at that time, he was still hesitant to steal, he had lost almost everything at that time;

Now, he doesn't have to hesitate, because not only does he have nothing, but he's also in debt.

Opening the door Jeff dashed in while quickly closing it.

"After tonight, you should be able to understand that you have to change new locks after moving."

The first floor was an open kitchen plus dining room, plus a nanny's room in the northwest corner.

Jeff went straight up to the second floor, and instead of turning on the lights, he turned on the flashlight he had brought with him, whose light was somewhat erratic.

"Damn it ......"

Jeff cursed silently again, he knew it was because the battery was low, but it was also because he had spent the money he intended to buy batteries to buy a pack of 5 rupees of "Morph" cigarettes.

The elbow on the flashlight is tapped a few times, the flashlight light is brighter than before.

On the second floor was the couple's master bedroom with a small study and a washroom.

As for the third floor, because it is the attic reason, so only the children's bedroom.

Jeff pushed open the door of the master bedroom, into the eyes of a large bed and all kinds of antique cabinets, he was clear that the probability of the valuable things of this family will be in this master bedroom, of course, before leaving, he will still go to the small study again to sweep a glance.

"hiss ...... hiss ......"

The scraping sound of electricity plus the sound of snowflakes came.

"Welcome to The Roja Storytime Show, I'm your old friend ...... Alfred, the moon is beautiful tonight, and whatever you do under such a beautiful moon seems to be accompanied by a whiff of happiness ...... "

Jeff was startled by the sudden voice and looked down, only to find an old peanut tube radio.

"Damn, people are away from home, and do not know how to save electricity!"

Jeff reached over and turned the radio off.

Subsequently, he began to first turn the room dresser cabinet, generally speaking, the mistress likes to put some often worn jewelry and home living expenses here, of course, next if you can find the jewelry box that would be great.

"Click ......"

The sound of opening the door came from the first floor at that moment.

Jeff was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

Followed by the sound of high heels going up the stairs, the goal was clear, it was coming towards the bedroom.

Jeff immediately pushed the drawer back and turned off the flashlight.

He was just a thief, he wasn't a robber. Stealing and robbery were two completely different concepts, even if they were convicted in a court of law.

Most importantly, he simply didn't dare to be a robber!

The sound of high heels came quickly, with a slight urgency.

Jeff simply did not have time to think too much about the rest, and could only lay his body on his side and roll into the bottom of the bed.

"Creak ......"

Almost simultaneously, the bedroom door was pushed open.

"Snap!"

The light was turned on.

Jeff, who was doing "pseudo-flat support" under the bed, saw a pair of red high heels walking to the dresser side, a messy search, seemed to find a small jar of medicine, "clatter" to pour out the crunching sound of medicine, and finally the sound of swallowing.

Immediately after that

It was a series of relieving gasps.

Jeff saw the woman's heels pause in front of the dresser for a long time, then the woman got up and the heels began to move.

"Jingle ...... Jingle ........."

The phone rings.

The high heels left the position of the bed and went to the coffee table under the windowsill, where the phone was placed.

The woman answered the phone.

"Yes, yes."

"Well, um."

"I was going to go with them, but I suddenly got sick and had to come back for medication, so let them go tonight, I'll rest and rest at home."

"It's okay, don't worry, thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

The woman hung up the phone, turned around, and walked towards this side of the bed.

"Giggle."

The feet stepped on each other's heels to remove the shoes, and the high heels almost fell in front of Jeff, so close that Jeff could even smell the smell coming from the top of the shoes.

With that, the bed shook a little.

The woman should be lying directly on the bed, and

also, let out a long sigh of comfort.

Obviously.

After working during the day, she was finally able to get a moment of leisure from the family activities with her husband and children, even if it was for physical reasons, but it was also very pleasant to think about.

Under the bed, Jeff began to think about what he should do.

He now has some regrets, he should have masked in advance, should have known that just a woman home alone, then completely masked to intimidate her, so that she does not move, they left again.

Believe that the woman herself alone, also do not dare to move, plus he has not had time to steal, the other ...... may be more than one thing is better than less, and even will not call the police it!

But, think about just think.

Even if it is now determined that a woman lying in bed, Jeff does not dare to drill out from under the bed to threaten her.

Jeff opened his mouth as much as possible and began to let himself breathe heavily and silently to ease the tension at this point.

Wait for the woman to fall asleep. Wait for the woman to fall asleep.

When she falls asleep, while her husband and children have not yet returned, they can get out from under the bed silently and safely without alerting anyone.

The woman lying in bed was humming, and the sound of turning pages came from her hands again.

Damn, why aren't you in bed?

Jeff did not know exactly how long the woman above had been reading, because, at this point under the bed, he had lost the sense of the concept of the passage of time.

Finally.

"Snap."

Jeff heard the sound of a book being closed.

The woman got out of bed and

barefoot.

She started toward the bedroom door, yawning as she went.

Was she going to take a shower?

Jeff's heart fluttered with joy.

While she was in the shower, he could slip away!

However.

Jeff lost, only to hear a "bar", the woman walked back, followed by the radio's snowflake sound.

"Squeak ......"

The woman went back to bed and picked up her book.

Light music began to play on the radio and the woman hummed along.

Damn, she wasn't going to have to wait for her husband and kids to come home before she went to bed!

The song ended and

The man's voice came over the radio.

"After a short break, welcome back to the Roja Storytelling Club as we continue the story we just told. Our hostess, Catherine, is lying in bed with a book in her hand, listening to a song, enjoying the brief leisure of the evening.

She had always envied other full-time wives because it was too tiring for a woman to go to work outside while taking care of things at home with her children."

"Ugh ......"

Jeff heard a sigh from the woman on the bed, who seemed to be in a similar interlude.

However.

Just at that moment, the

the words on the radio.

But they made Jeff shudder!

Under the dim streetlight, Jeff dropped a cigarette butt that had almost burned to the filter on the ground.
