Hail to the thief

Seriously? I always assumed they’d be worse… Yeah, it’s Spencer. We met before the event, I think? We were talking about rabbits.

Yep, that day I learned that just cause it's cheap it doesn't mean it's shitty. [chuckles] Yeah! I remember the rabbits. Man, I still wanna try one. 

Why would someone steal a lighter?

[shrugs] I know I would.

Yeah, the original piece. They suck ass. [He made a popping sound with his mouth.] Pretty sure a bellhop was asking around earlier for whoever owned some silver lighter he found on one of the lobby’s seats, maybe that was yours?

You're better off buying the $5 earphones, really. They aren't as shitty, surprisingly enough. [raises an eyebrow] The bellhop? Ha, that's nice of 'im. I'll go check it out later. Thanks for the help, man. It's Spencer, right?

No I haven’t, sorry

Fuck, I'm pretty sure someone took it by now.

Let me guess, it is very small?

Yeah... and silver. Seen it?

Mine weren’t so lucky. They died as soon as the water hit them. [He took a moment to recall] Have you been in the lobby lately…?

Shit, really? Were they one of those iPod earphones? Cause they die from literally anything. [runs a hand through his hair] ...I think so.

I dunno, sometimes I slip my earbuds in my boxers pockets and I forget I leave them there. [There was a pause.] TMI but necessary. What does it look like?

Yeah, same here. And surprisingly enough, they've survived both the washing and drying machine. [rubs his chin in thought.] It's silver, small, and has a small N carved on the side. 

Maybe you dropped it? Have you checked all your pockets? Your underwear?

That's what I'm thinking. [pats his pockets a few times] Yeah, all of 'em. [snorts] I'm sure I'd feel it if I had it in my underwear. I should probably backtrack my steps or somethin'. 

Whatcha looking for..?

My lighter. I know I had it on me just a second ago but... I dunno where it went.
