Devon and Rico made for the fire exit, it was bad enough they were skating inside the mall but now they had pushed down a worker and taken his stuff.
Devon was normally the more level headed of the mischievous pair, and this time even he didn't want to think what would happen if mall security got their hands on them. Probably juvenile hall this time, and not just a long conference with his parents like last time.
"Push the fucking door open!" He heard Rico yell behind him. Devon put his arm out and slammed in to the bar on the door, unlocking it and shoving it open in one bone jarring thrust, flinging it just wide enough that Rico got through before it slammed shut.
"Home free now!" called Devon. Turning slightly to see Rico behind him, still holding that stupid yellow weasel that the clown had made from a balloon. "Lose that toy, it's slowing you down!" he called back.
"No way. It's mine now. I'm keepin it." he laughed as they pushed their skateboards faster through the mall's back alley and shot out on to the parking lot. A few blocks more and they would arrive at Devon's house. Nobody was following them, they had indeed made it away without being caught.
