Venessa didn't hear Sinclair warning. Her mind was centred on catching the rascal that snatched her belongings and also give her a good beating.
Her new phone and newly issued Card were in her possession. There was no way she was going to let the little lady getaway.
Venessa ran after the teenager not caring about her environment. She even picked up her pace to catch up to the girl who started moving faster.
Sinclair was at a distance behind the girls because he had chased after them a few minutes later. After all, he had to secure his car. Sinclair was smart and level-headed so he could immediately observe that the teenage girl was leading Venessa astray.
The girl ran away from the crowded street to a more deserted one which would be strange for a thief who would have gone to somewhere with a high population density so that they would be able to blend the crowd easily and get away.
