Slowly, reluctantly the passengers boarded the bus once again. She kept her head down and took her seat silently. Her companion seemed to be settled, leaning against the window to take a nap. She moved carefully avoiding any accidental physical contact with him and wished she could stretch out.
Glancing back at the half empty bus she noticed several seats where there was double seating vacant. How she would love to stretch out and sleep. She was exhausted, but should she do so. She had dropped her wallet last time.
She fished deep into her pocket and opened the wallet, foolish need to reassure herself, but as a matter of course she glanced down. Her eyes widened and she gasped. Searching franticallly through the pockets, each compartment, she realised that a large amount of her money, the largest notes, in fact was gone.
But..how...? .. Her mind raced. She thought of Dan. No one would steal from you and then return the wallet. That would be foolishand although not a gangster, he did certainly not look foolish.
Her eyes moved to rest on the sleeping passenger next to her.
"Of course!"
He could have picked her pocket as she slept and dropped the wallet on the floor of the bus. Why would she have suspected him. Anyone could have emptied a fallen wallet! The only one she could then blame was herself for her stupidity!
"It all fits," she said to herself.
No man would fail to comment on her... unfortunate.. sleeping position.. unless.. he had something to hide.
Making her mind up quickly she picked up her bag and moved towards the back of the bus. Moving past Ted, too preoccupied to acknowledge him, yet not intentionally ignoring him, she selected a double seat on the opposite side to him, but two rows further down.
She sighed.. putting her bag behind her to act as a pillow, she pulled her feet up, still reluctant to fall asleep, but considerably happier to be away from her lightfingered companion...
