On the way they saw a sign saying “supermarket, one mile ahead”. They started walking to the supermarket. “How are we going to get the food without any money” questioned Paul. “Don’t worry” said Sam, “We can steal for food”.
When they got to the supermarket they looked around for things that they could eat for the night ahead of them. Cautiously they sneaked around slyly and Sam grabbed a sandwich and discreetly placed it under his jumper. They quietly tip-toed to the drinks section, Sam whispered “Get a large milkshake, I’m thirsty”. Paul took the largest one there.
Sam and Paul headed for the door. As they got closer they started to feel fear trembling all over their bodies. Once they left the shop they were so relieved they didn’t get caught it gave them the confidence to do it again.
They both ate half a sandwich and shared the drink so they could get some energy and continue with their travels to find a warm and cosy place to sleep.
“You know where we could sleep?” said Paul……”that place we saw when we were walking to the supermarket, on the park boundary”. “Just for tonight?” asked Sam “Because I don’t think it’s going to be warm”. “Ok, just for tonight” Paul agreed.
Sam and Paul started walking to the park, it was pitch black, they were shivering like mad, and they started to jog there as quickly as possible.
When they arrived there they were too tired to think about what dangers were around them. They found the spot they were looking for, made themselves comfortable and slowly fell asleep.
When Sam and Paul awoke they were refreshed and warm. They went to the shops and on the way Paul spotted a wanted poster of them on the wall. It read “wanted Sam and Paul, reward £5,000. Sam is a skinny white male with brown hair 5’8”; Paul is a chubby white male with blond hair 5’7””.They were completely gobsmacked they couldn’t believe that the news had travelled all the way to that part of the country, and that people are looking out for them.
When they arrived at the shops they were looking for some food for breakfast. Both of them went in the supermarket and they headed for the food section. The shop keeper was looking very suspiciously at them because they looked rough and scruffy.
Sam picked up a bag of freshly cooked chicken and they both ran out of the shop. The shop keeper saw them running so he quickly chased them and grabbed them both and shouted at the top of his voice “I hope you have got money for that!” They both shook their heads in denial. The shopkeeper told them he had no choice but to ring the police.
While they were waiting for the police they began to argue at each other saying it was each others fault. When the police arrived they recognised the boys from the wanted poster and took them back to the police station.
In the police car they were discussing a plan to get out of jail if the were arrested, all they could think of was ‘nothing!’
When they finally reached the station they were charged with grievous bodily harm and attempted murder. They were absolutely devastated and could not believe they were going to jail.
While they were waiting to be questioned they were placed in a tiny, compact cell. The boys knew that they didn’t have much time until they would be questioned so they decided to search for a way out. Paul decided to look for any loose bricks, but he had no luck. Sam sat there all annoyed and felt really sad. Paul was just so annoyed that he kicked the wall with all his might and to his astonishment one of the bricks came loose and Sam joined him to push enough bricks through to make a hole for them to get through.
Sam and Paul were laughing their heads off but they had no time to lose they just climbed through the hole and ran off back in the direction of the hay cart.
While they were running frantically Sam stopped a frail dithery old lady and softly said to her “me and my friend are homeless, could you spare some money for food, please mrs”, so she pulled her purse out slowly and gave them a crisp ten pound note. They thanked her profusely and went on their way.
We carried on running for our lives to find a cab. We could hear sirens all around us, so we sprinted like the wind to the cab station. They were both discussing how lucky they were to get away from the police and that the kind lady gave them a ten pound note.
When they got to the cab station they asked for a cab to take them to London. They jumped in a bright yellow cab and asked the cabby to go to London.
The only reason that Sam and Paul thought they would go back to their home town is because they want to go and see their families again and thought the police wouldn’t look for them there again.
When they arrived their families were so overjoyed to see them again they just couldn’t stop giving them hugs and they were so pleased that they got to see them again before they got arrested.
Sam and Paul straightened out their lives and don’t steal anymore, both families decided to immigrate to get away from the police. Both of their ambitions in life are now to get good grades. Paul and Sam aren’t in a gang anymore. They don’t wear scruffy clothes they wear a suit most of the time. Both of them are eighteen now and studying economics at a local collage they are living in a flat together.
