there.

on the ride home, simon sat in the front seat beside the cop. the radio crackled "calling all cars, armed robbery in gas shop at..." before cop could tell simon,  anything that he can't take him home, simon was already gone... through the radio...

he came out of a cellular phone near his home. he had already decided not to use his powers. he appeared on the street and jogged home. nobody even noticed that he appeared, except the cell owner noticed the battery dropped to 40% and wondered how. only a kid saw, who knew not to say he saw a guy appear. 

the kid knew that the adults would just lie that he had always been there even if they knew he had not been there because adults interpret stuff that way. at home simon could zap through the wire and purify himself but he was in the mood of a hot shower. he had no appetite so he skipped supper again, 

simon zapped by wire into the shower room purifying himself as he reappeared by the shower. he remembered that he had wanted a meal at night and had not eaten all day. he turned on the water and waited for the comftorble temperature. he wondered if the water would fry him or his electric ability but if so drinking the diet cola would have hurt too. 

sure enough he stepped under the many thin streams of warm water and heard crackling but no pain.he enjoyed the warm water all over. oops he had not prepared a towel near the shower! so after the shower he zapped himself out by wire to his bed room and reformed only body no sweat or water so dry. he had watched movies all day.

should he watch a different film? he would read. he had started a book as a child but did not remember the story nor if he finished it or skipped parts to finish it or read all of it. he probably had not understood some words so he should re-read it now as an adult. he went to his bookshelf by the door. 

he looked at the books that he had brought with him when he first got the job and moved away from his parents. he took his books here. he saw several books that he enjoyed and had trouble choosing which one so he took two books and decided to divide the time. he carried the books into bed and realized he had not yet put on pijama so he pulled pijama set on. 

simon sat by his desk in his room where the desk lamp light shone down on the book. he read and enjoyed the book... but not for long!

his burglar alarm started blaring. it went off which means it went on! he had decided not to use his powers but this was different. he zipped from room to room by wire until finding the window in the second bedroom open, but the thief had already left. he zipped back to his own room and saw the guy searching the drawers. 

simon zipped to his own cellular phone and came out of the guy pocket!

"this is not yours!" simon accused. the thief as usual pulled his gun. for a millisecond simon felt confused because the hands were black but the eye circles in the ski mask were pale? he heard the gun shot so he zapped through the cell phone again and fried the murderer. he pulled off the ski mask and saw a white guy. but his hands were black? 

simon looked closer and saw he wore dark brown gloves to prevent fingerprints. the alarm was still blaring and he realized the alarm had not stopped the thief who knew he had time before cops came and had been prepared with a gun that he even shot to deal with the homeowner. he realized he needed a gun if not for his powers.

he would lock it in a safe so nobody would steal it but then he could not get it when a burglar came. so he would keep it under his pillow with the clip in but no bullet in the chamber then he could pull it from under his pillow if he needed it and just push the bottom part of the gun forward to load the bullet from the magazine.

but all this was not relevant now that he DID have powers. he could use his powers to fry any criminals but he decided not to use his powers against criminals unless they came here. he switched off the alarm so the alarm "went on" meaning it switched off.

next he searched the thiefs pockets and retrieved his phone. he found a deep pocket added in the shirt that had several wallets that the thief had stolen. the pant pockets were empty except for stolen and very nice watches. no id. in each pocket was a fancy watch probably stolen so thief had planned to wear them and use the money in the wallets.

simon wondered if he should return the wallets? each driver license had an address?

secretly entering their home was the crime of trespassing even if he was coming to put back the wallet. if he met the person at the door they would accuse him of stealing the wallet so the only option was to  put everything but the cash bills down the sink grinder for disposal. no need to cancel the credit card because it would not get used. 

by the time he gathered all the cash from the seven wallets and wore one of the stolen watches he heard a bang on the door. the cops came due to the alarm! dam! they would find the corpse! 

he zapped by wire to his room and fried the corpse to ashes. then zap by wire to the electric outlet by the door. he said it was a false alarm. the cop said that is what a burglar would say. stand back we will shoot through the door. simon opened the door and saw two cops beside the door crouching. "come on in i will show you what happened."--you live here?" they asked.

they saw he had no weapon so lowered theirs. he pulled his wallet from his jeans that had dropped by the floor when he had zapped himself into the shower. one cop said yes this is the address. the other cop said "but a crook would have the wallet of the owner with the address!" so the second cop compared the photo id and saw same person for address. 

simon led them into the room and showed the open window. he said "i opened the window and set off the alarm. nobody came in." so the cops left. simon went back to bed zapping over the pile of gray ash. he would vacuum tomorrow.
