      Stealing Christmas

      Jean Louise

      Oh, great, popcorn and gummy candy in spilled soda. What a mess! Gina sighed. Generally she liked her job at the movie theatre; it was work she could do easily, and, more importantly, she could do by herself. When she wanted to socialize, there were always co-workers around with whom she could chat. But most of the time Gina preferred to be by herself.

      Except that wasn’t likely today. It was two days before Christmas, and of course the movie theatre was slammed. People everywhere: kids, parents, teens, college students home for the break. It was an ‘all hands on deck’ scenario, the manager had told them.

      So here was Gina, cleaning up a sticky mess on the sticky carpeting. When that was completed as thoroughly as possible under the circumstances, she took a breather, ducking behind a large advertising standee in a corner of the lobby. Someone else must have had the same idea, as she found herself privy to one side of a phone call.

      "No, I’m here with my kids—why the nanny couldn’t bring them to the movie, I have no idea; it’s not like I don’t have better things to do today. … Yes, I know, we need to close it up right away—shut down the office entirely. After everyone leaves, change the security code so employees can’t get in tomorrow. I don’t want— … No, nobody in or out except you and me; I want things cleared out. And by cleared out, I mean— … (laugh) Yeah, I knew you’d know what I mean. Luckily, with the holiday, I think we have a few days before the regulators show up. We’ll take care of it tomorrow.
