Nepotic Heist by Meg Tuite

My brother called me a prison probability. I told the pansy to shut-up, shoved four candy bars down his pants. The fat lady lurched from behind the counter, grabbed his collar, half the stash, yelling, “Hey, snot-nosed delinquent!” After mom whooped him, I snuck in, “Hand it over!”
