Jeanie was tired of not getting anything decent in her lunch so she decided to steal some candy from the 7-11. Nazirah made her a special sticky glove to grab stuff. Jeanie went to the 7-11 and saw a stack of supersized Snickers bars. Lamya saw what Jeanie was up to and distracted the clerk. Santiago stood in line, saw everything, and didn't tell the clerk. Jeanie used her special glove and walked out with a dozen candy bars. Sofia went inside afterwards and used a special magnet to erase the video recording. Solomon watched from outside and told the cops what happened.
