"Hey! You need to pay for that!" The cashier screamed after Toris.

Toris smirked. Like I'd do that, he thought and sprinted out the door, making the sirens go off. Toris ran as fast as he could, and that was saying something. He could hear the pounding feet of pursuers as he turned into an alley. He was stopped by a chain-link fence. "Shit." he muttered under his breath.

"There he is!" one of the pursuers cried. Toris whirled around to face two employees at the jewlery store. One of them was out of breath and glaring at Toris. The other was slowly walking up to him. "Give us back the necklace, kid." He growled breathily.

"Fat chance." Toris snorted and glanced around him. There was a garbage can hastily tucked against the chain-link fence with some boxes next to it. He grinned inwardly, and turned his head back to the employees. Both of them were walking toward him now.

"Come on, kid. Just give us the necklace back, and there'll be no trouble." One of them said and held his hand out.

"Seriously, after all the trouble I went through to get it, you think I'd give it back? I got plans for it anyway." Toris asked and backed away toward the boxes.

One of them seemed to figure out what he was doing. "Shit, Frank! He's going to use that stuff to get over! Grab him!" one of them screamed. Frank lunged for Toris, who easily dodged him, jumped on the boxes and eventually the trash can.

Toris jumped the fence and landed on his feet. He turned to see Frank and the other guy pressed up against the fence, glaring at him. He smirked and took out the necklace and swung it back and forth tauntingly. "Sorry guys. Like I said, I got plans for this beauty." He threw it up, snatched in his hand, then took off running. Toris sprinted until he reached the particular place he was looking for.

Jerry's Pawn.

Toris pushed the door open and looked around. He clutched the diamond necklace in his pocket. "May I help you?" a voice asked. Toris turned to see the store manager-Jerry.

Toris nodded. "Hey Jerry." he greeted.

Jerry smiled. "Hey. What do you have for me?" he asked and leaned over the counter.

Toris strolled up to Jerry and pulled out the diamond necklace. Jerry's eyes widened as he took the necklace from Toris and examined it. "Holy fucking shit! How in Hell did you get this?" he exclaimed.

"I, uh, bought it." Toris lied.

Jerry frowned at Toris. "Don't lie to me. You're the poorest bastard I know, you live in an orphanage, and you don't have a job. How'd you really get it?" he asked and set down the necklace on the counter.

"I stole it." Toris said quickly and frowned.

"Gosh dammit, Toris! You can't just steal stuff, and pawn it at my pawn shop!" Jerry exclaimed and waved his arms. "You know I could get into big fucking trouble right?"

"I need the money, Jerry." Toris growled. "I'm seventeen years old and still living in a fucking orphanage. I want to get my own life going!"

"How about get a job? And earn an honest living?" Jerry suggested.

"Nobody'll hire someone who looks like a bum!" The Lithuanian exclaimed and gestured to himself. He was wearing sweatpants, a green shirt, and a flat cap. "I look like some person from the 1900s!"

"Point taken. Anyway, just please don't pawn here anymore." Jerry begged.

"Fine. But what about the necklace?" Toris asked and gestured toward the very expensive necklace.

Jerry looked thoughtful for a moment then sighed. "This is the last time, Laurinaitis." he said and opened the cash register. Toris said nothing as Jerry snatched up the necklace and gave Toris a wad of money, then shooed him off.

"Get outta here, you bum." Jerry said in an annoyed tone. Toris took a hint and left the pawn shop, he stuffed the money into his pocket and strolled to the orphanage.

Toris quietly opened the orphanage door and snuck in. Thank God the nuns weren't running around, or he'd be dead. Toris hurried up to his room, which he shared with two other boys named Raivis and Eduard. When he entered they said nothing, only talked amungst themselves. Toris didn't want them to say anything anyway, he climbed into his bunk and pulled the covers over himself. "You missed dinner." Raivis said quietly.

"So?" Toris replied rudley.

"The nuns were angry, Raivis was kind enough to cover up for you." Eduard retorted.

Toris rolled over to face the two boys. Raivis was looking at everything but him and Eduard glared at him. "Yeah, uh, thanks I guess." Toris replied with a non-grateful tone. Raivis nodded, getting a 'thanks' out of Toris Laurinaitis was not easy, even if he didn't mean it. Eduard shurgged and turned away from Toris, back to his laptop. Raivis was putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Toris rolled back over and let his eyes flutter shut.

Suddenly, there was a banging at the door. "Raivis! Eduard! Is Toris in there?" a voice barked.

"U-uh. Yeah! H-he is!" Raivis stuttered. A nun by the name of Sister Alice burst through the door and glared at them.

"Where is the lad?" she growled. Eduard and Raivis pointed at Toris's bunk, where he was sat up groggily, as if he was just waking up.

"Yes, Sister?" Toris asked and yawned.

"Why weren't you at dinner? You had dishes duty tonight, so you better have a good excuse." she said harshly.

"I-I told you at dinner he wasn't feeling well, remember Sister?" Raivis asked sheepishly. Sister Alice glanced at Raivis then nodded slowly.

"I remember, but, he doesn't look sick." she pointed out.

Toris gave a hacking cough and wiped his nose. "I'm sorry Sister," he rasped. "I haven't been feeling my best. Tomorrow I'll wash the dishes."

She frowned and glared at Toris. "Fine," she finally spat. "you better." and with that, she left the room and shut the door behind her. Eduard and Raivis visibally relaxed and Raivis let out a sigh of relief.

Eduard cast a glance at Toris. "Lying is a sin, you know that, right?"

Toris shrugged and nestled back under the covers. "So?" he sneered. "just one of many I've commited."

AN:

Sorry I'm coming up with all these new stories and people that like my other ones are getting impatient, but I will update all of them soon. I just had to get this one down, I have another one in mind, but I'm pondering on whether or not to submit it.

Anyway, I had to OOC Toris for this story, so he would fit the character. Sorry for people who don't like OOC characters.
