Sweet Revenge
“Philip bit into a peanut and didn’t glance back. It always depressed him a little to see cats in captivity. He had an empathy for them, and more, for anything that found itself caged. Still, he enjoyed strolling through the London zoo. Perhaps it did him good to see the bars and cages and remind himself that he’d avoided looking through them from the inside throughout his career.
He didn’t particularly miss stealing. At least not very much. It had been a good, steady profession while it had las...ted, and had certainly provided him with the means to live well. That had always been Philip’s main ambition. Comfort was always preferable to discomfort, but it was luxury that soothed a man’s soul.
From time to time he considered writing a thriller based on one of his more elegant heists. The Trafalgi sapphires perhaps. He had such fond memories of that particular job. It would be taken as fiction, of course. Truth was most often odder and more harrowing than make-believe. The pity was he didn’t think his present employer would see the humor or the irony of it.MoreLess
