A Price to Pay — Bea Cannon

Jack Warslow is a small-time thief. What happens the night he breaks into a big house in an affluent neighborhood has him desperately wishing he'd never seen the house or picked up the small cat that belongs to the homeowner. He thought he was ready for anything but he learns just how wrong he is and that there is no such thing as something for nothing. There is always a price to pay.

A short story from the Dark Realm.
