Rambo VI

Rambo spoke calmly to the cashier at the Walgreens. "There's money in that account. Just please swipe the card again. type in the card number."
"sorry sir, you dont have any money in your account." the cashier said flippantly. "NO!" Rambo corrected her, "Your fucking machine is wrong"
"There's nothing I can do" she said getting irritated.
Rambo shook his head and slowly picked up the Advil, the Crest toothpaste, the ace bandage and the lifesavers candies from the counter, turned around and bolted out the door.
The cashier made a quick cursory move but no sound came from her mouth. She was utterly baffled. Rambo ran with the products cradled in his arms for at least 10 straight minutes. He ran past his squat and into a blind alley behind a bicycle shop. He was barely breathing heavily. he saw a discarded WalMart bag on the ground, picked it up and put the stolen goods in the bag. He walked out of the alley and back to his squat where he brushed his teeth, put on deodorant and a clean tank-top, and watched the sun set.
