Heist Society Chapter 22

By Ally Carter

Chapter 22

On the cold, crowded sidewalks of Paris, a boy bumps against Kat. Kat knows something is up, so she follows him and brushes up against him.
Then the point of view shifts to the boy, who goes home... and finds Kat waiting for him there. "You can pick pockets," she says. "I can pick locks. […] Maybe I can pick pockets too" (22.21).
His I.D. says his name is Nicholas Smith. Can that be his real name? It's so boring. We guess we'll find out later.
Kat gets his life story in abbreviated form. She asks him if he has a record, if he's ever been caught pick pocketing, and if he has a crew. The answer to all three: no.
She recruits him to her heist team, because he is, like, an obvious choice.
