No One in the World (2011)
“As the Audi’s xenon bulbs cut through the dark space ahead, Eric leaned close to the windshield, the glow of the car’s illuminated red instruments painting his face as he squinted to see where he was going.
Before leaving the house, Eric stopped in the family room, where the entertainment center was. He stood in front of the sixty-inch flat-screen mounted on the wall above the fireplace and sized it up. It would be too big to fit in the car and too time consuming to take down. He snatched the D...VD player, the Bose Surround Sound system, and cable box instead.
As he drove, Eric knew the plan wasn’t fully developed, but it was in action. He would pawn the electronics he stole for spending money, and then he’d take the car to a chop shop.
But what if the shop he knew of was no longer there? He knew he’d only get a few grand for the car, and then he’d have no transportation. Maybe he should keep it. But then exactly where would he go? To Jess’s?
She sounded like she didn’t want to see him.MoreLess
