                                 Chapter three
                                 -------------


As I finally got back home again, the first thing I did was pulling off the
shoes and starting to search for my older sister. She always helped me putting
on my wigs because somehow she was able to attach the wig to my head good enough
that it wouldn’t come off, not even when pulled. So I needed her to get it off
too, because I myself didn’t know how to loosen it.
Not that it was a bad thing, because like that no one ever suspected wigs and I
could stay innocent.
So I was pretty glad as Lily finally came down from her room (our house had two
floors, the upper floor with our private rooms and the ground floor with the
kitchen, the living room and so on) and helped me.
And it really was liberating, finally feeling my normal hair again. The only
problem was explaining what happened as Lily saw the scratch, but oh well, I
stole our stuff, so she was satisfied enough.
“Hey, Yuri~! Got my stuff?” Lucys voice could be heard through the house as
she wanted her tools. 
“Yes, don’t worry!”, I tried to calm her down, because I really wanted to
change into more comfortable clothes before giving my sisters what they wanted.
A few minutes later I wore normal clothes again - a simple black T-Shirt and a
yellow hoodie - and my siblings got their stuff. So now I had free time, nice!
Though... maybe I should explain ‘free time’. For me, it really means free
time, playing video games, listening to music and so on, but Lucy is busy with
hacking, looking for new victims or inventing new, helpful tools, while Lily is
sewing or styling wigs for her Online Shop. I’m not exactly sure what Alec’s
doing. More often than not he plays with me some nice games, but I think he
trains his abilities too.
But whatever, for me, it meant free time, so I’m happy! And if you’re
wondering why I have free time while my sisters have to work: I’m doing the
complicated stuff, like stealing, so we agreed that I can relax the rest of the
time so that I don’t accidentally make faults. If my sisters do something
wrong they can correct it but if I’m caught it would be a problem.
So I can do what I want and relax most of the time. I mean, it’s not like
I’m not doing anything - except for stealing of course - I’m helping Lily
sometimes too. And yes, I can sew. Actually, I can sew, cook, clean and whatnot.
Lily’s a good teacher I guess, just like Lucy. Also I have to work out,
awesome abilities - like my speed and so on - don’t normally come without
training, you know?
But whatever, for now, I had time to play.

The next interesting thing happened about a week later. I just had to steal
something for my siblings one other time (of course, I used another mall and
another disguise). Then Lucy came to me, looking really happy.
“Hey Yuri, guess what? I found you another job! There is a rich guy again who
thinks way too high of himself and started drifting off in the wrong direction.
And he has a nice collection of diamonds. I think it’s time for new
decorations...!”
Oh yeah, if you’re wondering what she meant with decorations: She’s reusing
the stuff I steal as the Sapphire Phantom. Like for example the jewelry I stole
the last time. It was just some necklaces with gems in it, but Lucy took them
out and made other nice things out of it. She took the rubies and made herself
earrings and I got a nice sapphire ring to wear as the Phantom. Over my gloves
of course. Fingerprints are the worst mistake for a thief. Anyway, diamonds
sounded really nice, so I nodded.
“Alright! Where, when, what about the safety measures and so on?”, I asked
then and started going through all the details with Lucy. That was one of the
most important things and then it was time to let ‘him’ come out again!
