“Hey, I need you to pay for these items that you two stole.” I didn’t know that this random guy had been watching us throughout the whole store. My entire life I never imagined I would get caught up in the criminal life. I have been in major trouble with the law once before, and that was a minor violation of driving without a license when I was 17.
