Prickly Prompts - 10. #836 - The Thief
A blue suitcase sat open on the huge bed, overflowing with notes of different currencies. Dagobert hurried out of the room, pulling open the belt of his golden silk robe at the same time. It immediately fell open over his impressive paunch and limp dick. He decidedly ignored the mirror at the end of the hallway. A moment later, he opened and then quickly closed the door of the bathroom when the Queen’s corgi he’d abducted a few weeks ago barked furiously at him.
Deciding he didn’t need a shower, he pulled on some loose, black golf pants foregoing any underwear, and an oversized white polo shirt, leaving it untucked. Then he slipped barefoot into Limited Edition Blue Monster Adidas shoes, grabbed a blue windbreaker and a hat, unsuccessfully hiding his thinning hair. He stuffed the money that had fallen out into the suitcase and closed it with a loud ‘snap’.
Almost out the door, he remembered the airline ticket on the bedside table and the dog for which he intended to collect a nice sum on the black market. Taking a red leash and matching collar from the dresser, he walked to the bathroom, faking a British accent. “Who wants to go to the park with nice uncle Dagobert?”
Expecting the dog waiting for him to wag its tail in excitement, instead he was welcomed with growling and baring of teeth. Dagobert was forced to throw a large bath towel over the feisty corgi in order to put the collar around its neck.
Dagobert stepped off the elevator into the lobby. Suitcase in hand, leash wrapped several times around his wrist, he pulled the dog after him, trying to appear casual. Nervously, he played with the so-called cursed gold coin he’d stolen from the foreign ambassador. As if.
“Sir!”
“Excuse me!”
Dagobert ignored the doorman and hurried towards the hotel entrance.
“Sir! Stop!”
Dagobert still pretended not to hear the man until he grabbed his arm and held a mask out to him.
“Sir, you have to wear a mask outside your room and the hotel.”
At the same moment Dagobert impatiently snatched the mask, the dog ripped his arm away and the suitcase crashed to the floor. It sprang open and, horrified, Dagobert had to watch his money fly around the lobby. People collected some and stuffed it into their pockets. Then a man who suspiciously looked like the foreign ambassador picked up a gold coin rolling along the floor and winked.
