94. Pickpockets.

...~Happy Reading~...

The woman muttered more and more while cursing towards Yicoe, because she saw the man whose wallet was taken did not do anything, but looked around to find employees or security.

"You still want to dodge? I was warned to return it well, but instead cursed. Feel this...!" At high speed, Yicoe twisted the woman's finger with her right hand, then her left hand quickly took the purse that was inserted behind the shirt on the woman's chest.

"This what? Haaaa...? It's whataa...?" Yicoe pointed at the wallet she had taken and was already in her hands. The woman was getting more rebellious to quote her embarrassment.

"It's a thief, another liar. Feel this...!" Yicoe said as she hit the woman on the head with the glasses man's wallet. The woman became silent, without daring to look at Yicoe and the wallet owner who was looking at her fiercely.

"Bring the woman. He took my wallet." The bespectacled man said to the security who came near them, after being called by the employee whom the man had asked for help.

Yicoe pushed the woman to the approaching security, then gave the wallet to the owner. Then want to move away from the arena to find their needs. But his right arm was suddenly held by the man, making Yicoe reflexively hold his hand with her left hand and was about to twist it.

"Sorry, I just want to thank you for the help." The man raised his left hand which was holding a mobile phone and wallet, a sign not meaning to be disrespectful.

Yicoe let go of her hand. "May thank you, but no need to hold on, times." Yicoe said ferociously, surprised that the man was holding her arm.

"I hold on, because Miss very quickly turned around and was about to leave. Again, I'm sorry and thank you for the help." The glasses guy said softly and politely. Yicoe immediately nodded understanding the man's intentions and was unwilling to extend them.

"May I buy you something to eat or drink, as my gratitude?" The bespectacled man held back Yicoe's steps turning around, as he still wanted to talk to Yicoe. To him, Yicoe was a beautiful woman with an attractive personality. He had never met a woman with such a combination that attracted him.

Yicoe saw the seriousness of the man willing to treat her. When she saw his eyes, Yicoe turned her gaze in any direction looking for Novie. The man's eyes are very shady and also hint at intelligence, even behind the glasses.

"Thank you, Mas, eeh, sir... I'm sincerely helping, so there's no need to do that. Excuse me..." Yicoe said quickly before anything happened, if it lingered in that place. Then Yicoe was about to leave, as her heartbeat began to irregular. The situation was unfavorable to him, let alone the man looking authoritative.

"Then can we exchange phone numbers? Maybe we can meet in a better mood." The man has not given up on letting Yicoe go.

"Sir, sorry, yeah..." Yicoe did not go forward with her words, refusing the man's request, as security approached them quickly.

"Sir, sorry. Don't talk to and be nice to this woman. He was also one of the female conspirators who deliberately approached the father." Security said quickly with a gasp of breath, having to walk quickly before Yicoe left or ran away. That is what is in the mind of security, after hearing the description of the pickpocket woman earlier.

"Sir, patience. Why do you say that? Do you have any evidence of Miss's involvement?" The bespectacled man asked seriously, because his little heart could not accept what security was accusing him of.

"The woman we're holding says, this woman is also her accomplice. They wanted to pickpocket together, but this woman suddenly acted by catching him, to attract the attention of the father." Security explained quickly and was about to bring Yicoe to meet the pickpocketed woman.

"Dare you touch my hand, I don't hesitate to break your hand. Show me where you're holding the woman, I'll be there. So there's no need to hold my hand, because I won't run away. I want to meet that woman." Yicoe said quickly, allowing security to walk in front.

Security was about to call an employee to accompany him with Yicoe, but was prevented by the bespectacled man. "No need to call anyone else. I will accompany this Miss to the woman's place." The bespectacled man said quickly to the security and hinted to walk in front. He'll walk beside Yicoe.

Yicoe's heart was already like a volcano ready to erupt, but there was a sense of shame to be beside the bespectacled man in such an embarrassing situation. He walked quickly in silence and was inflamed, while looking down so as not to be seen by Novie. If Novie saw and knew what was happening, it would be a long affair. Maybe Novie will beat up the woman, as well as the security who accused her.

"What did you say?" Yicoe said quickly, after being in the room. The woman was surprised to see Yicoe coming with security and the bespectacled man who kept staring at her, ever since entering the room.

"So I told you, it's a thief, a liar. Now add it again with the slanderer. You hear and believe in women like that?" Yicoe said and also asked the security with emotion seeing the woman smile a little. Turns out he wanted to repay me, for having caught him picking up. He deliberately said so to damage the good name, or a little checked by security like himself.

Looking at the woman who was feeling a little pleased with his arrival, Yicoe lowered her emotions. He thought fast in order to escape from that place, without making a fuss. "We conspired to steal in this place. We know each other, yes... Tell me my name and where do we live?" Yicoe said and asked calmly.

The bespectacled man smiled hearing what Yicoe said. 'A trap that is telling and does not need to waste time and energy to prove a truth.' The bespectacled man said inwardly, acknowledging the intelligent strategy that Yicoe had made.

The face of the pickpocket woman immediately paled, because she did not expect to be asked that way. He could not answer, because he did not know Yicoe. He could not name and address her origin, as Yicoe had an identification tag that would have dropped her charges.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. I was angry, so said haphazardly and wanted to avenge Mbak." The pickpocketed woman suddenly kneeled apologetically in front of Yicoe. Seeing that, security instantly hit his back with a stick in his hand.

"Other times, if you want to do something, think with your brain. Do you know how much time I wasted? Gotta catch you pickpocketing. Now we have to clarify your allegations. If you don't hurry, I'll drag you to the police station." Yicoe said seriously while looking at the woman fiercely.

"It is fitting that many people do not want to help their fellow people who experience poverty, because they are worried about being in a situation like this. If it's outside, maybe I've been thumped for time, because of pickpockets like this." Yicoe said seriously, then immediately left the room. Not only did he chase time, but he avoided the bespectacled man who wanted to ask for his number.
