Getting Even

Prompt: You have a key to your ex'es apartment. You decide to snoop around when he/she unexpectedly comes home. You hide in the closet. What do you hear?

What was I doing in his closet?  It smelled of cheap and cheesy aftershave. I wanted to throw up. How did I get hooked up with such looser as Peter? He took anything of value from my apartment when we broke up. I was back to get what was mine.

Aw crap, I thought. he's back.

I closed the closet door, but could hear every word Peter was saying.

"Of course I can get it from her."

Already trying to hustle some other girl, I mused as listened in.

"You don't know my ex. It will be easy. She doesn't even know I hid it at her place. All I have to do is lay on the charm. The necklace will be in your hands in the morning, I promise."

I heard Peter hang up the phone and go into the shower. When I heard the water running, I eased out of the closet and snuck out the front door. I didn't exhale, until I was driving away. Peter hid a necklace in my apartment so it must be hot. And it must be the one I found this morning, cleaning out his stuff. Pawning it seemed like a good idea this morning, but now I'm glad I didn't. The police are going to get an anonymous tip and find the necklace on Peter. After he charms poor little 'ol me, of course.
