After making sure that the staff was occupied, Leon moved over to the copper wire. There was, conveniently, a wire cutter right next to the rolls; probably so shoppers could cut off however much they needed and take it up to the front. This seemed like the kind of town that wasn't supposed to worry about crime much.

Sparing another quick glance around, Leon located a thinner gauge of wire and quickly started unspooling it, getting about four feet before clipping it off. He bent the wire in half, then half again. He kept the wire against his arm, heart pounding, as he casually wandered towards the back of the store. Once there, he glanced down, as though his shoe was untied, and knelt down to "fix" it. While kneeling, he quickly worked the wire up his pant leg, making sure it was safely held by his boot before standing up.
