The cat burglars second chance as a baby! Private!

Thea Brown was 24 years old, after the loss of her parents she inherited a nice sized home where she lived by herself. Having a degree in accounting she was more than able to support herself but something was empty in her life that she never could figure out. One day after a particularly long day at work she parked her car and rose an eyebrow noting a beaten up bike in front of her house along with a broken window with an exasperated sigh she pushed the door letting it slam against the wall “OKAY YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO DROP WHAT YOU STOLE AND LEAVE BEFORE I CALL THE COPS!” She called out loudly hoping to frighten or at least startle whoever it was.

A small squeaked and a thud could be heard just in the kitchen.'Aw shit...'Jude cursed to herself. She had dropped a can of fruits after the loud sound of the door flung open and startled her. She thought she had more time! Jude had to think fast, there was a back door that she could run out of but whoever lived here would see her face and what she was wearing.

There was literally no time to think. She dropped everything that was in her bag, which was food mostly, and booked out the back door. She hopped the back gate to reach her bike.

Now how did Jude get in this situation? Jude Taylor was 20 years old, that had been kicked out of her parents house when she was 17 for being "too difficult" to handle. She didnt have a job and school was out of the question. She spent her days doing petty theft, mostly from the rich because they can buy anything and everything so surely they wouldn't miss a couple items like food or things that can be sold for money.
Jude spent the money on clothes, hotels, food, and anything she might need. She didnt need anyone, she was just fine on her own. Although, sometimes, Jude found herself sleep in odd place because she didnt have enough for a hotel or some nights she'll starve.
One this particular day, Jude was riding through the nieghborhood on her bike. It was nice, clean area. This would be a perfect place to take from. She rode by a house that had no cars in the driveway, this was her chance. She dropped her bike on the lawn and quickly grabbed a brick and broke the nearest window to get in. It was a tight fit and she even cut her leg and arm a bit with the glass but Jude made it in. The house was so clean and tidy. Not a speck of dirt anywhere. Jude looked down at her dirty sneakers and her shortalls. She sighed."I'm not meant for a place like this..."She said then began taking the things she needed.

The sound of rustling out back made her move to be in between her and her bike once she set eyes on the woman her heart sank, she was clearly in over her head. Thea was a compassionate person so she knew she couldn’t let her go “Do you want me to call the cops?” She asked in a curious but firm tone that made it clear the girl would not be escaping.

Jude growled at the woman."I didn't take anything! I dropped everything so let me leave!" She huffed and puffed, her heart was racing. If the cops caught her, what if they link to all the other thefts she done?"Let me go! You said you won't call them if I leave!!"

“I changed my mind, I’m going to give you a choice. I see how hard you’re struggling, so you can ether face the music and I’ll call the police, or you can let me help you, and yes I certainly can help you.” She explained already having an idea based off what her life had been missing to this point.

"A choice? Lady, I don't even know you and you dont know me!"She stomped her foot on the ground. She certainly didn't want the police to take her...but what was this lady going to do to her?"What do you mean 'help me'? Who says I need help? I dont NEED anyone!"She grumbled.

“Well at the least I think you need help with those wounds.” She commented “And it does look like you could benefit from a good meal and an actual bed. Hear me out because I have an offer you won’t want to refuse.” She warned with her arms crossed waiting for her to answer.

Jude balled her hands into a fist. She could start running but how long before the police get her. "Ugh...! Fine, I'll bite! What's this 'offer' then?"She threw her hands in the air in defeat.

“Come in, let me treat your wounds and I’ll tell you. If you hear me out I’ll let you go with no other consequences.” She promised as she began to move through her front door “Try the door this time.” She scolded lightly.

Jude rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest."Fine. Let's get this over with."She scoffed and walked in through the door this time. Her wounds didn't hurts, although that could be because of the adrenaline. "They aren't even that bad..."She wiped a bit of blood that was dropping on her thigh.
