It was such an easy mission, but it was even easier to lose. Karisa and I were determined to do it again with no flaws, and we attempted to the following night. We couldn’t go back to the same casino, so we drove an hour up North. We executed the same plan, and headed to the washroom. We q uickly changed in separate stalls and when we came out, there they were, two female police cops. â€Å"Put you’re hands behind your back† the taller cop said to the both of us.

I want to warn you of your actions because every action has a consequence. I hope you can learn from me and forgive me for what I put you through.
