Chapter: 3

Kaya's in a dark house. He can barely see things. With the four men encircling, there's no chance for him to escape.

Suddenly, the men before him stops walking. They knocks at the door, "Chief! He's here!"

Without waiting for response, they open the door. Then push Kaya and order him, " Enter! "

Once Kaya inside the room, they clapped the door after him.

Kaya looks around him. The place is messy, it's smelling cigarette and alcohol.

" Welcome! "

A bald man appears from the dark. He's hands are crossed behind his back. He walk calmly toward the table. He pours wine on the glass and proposes to Kaya, "Want to drink?"

Kaya shakes his head.

Once he refused, the man immediately drinks it.

" So? Why did your men take me here? " Kaya asks impatiently.

" Well, I'm interested in you. "

Kaya's face frowns with disgust, " The hell!? "

Seeing the boy expression, the man adds, "Not in the way you think! I'm rather interested in your ability. "

" . . . "

" Being able to steal with such facility, and discretion. . . It's really impressive! "

Kaya just listens to him silently. He's wondering about what this man's driving at.

" What's your name? "

He hesitates, " . . . Kaya! "

The man burst into laugh after hearing his name, "Hahahaha!. . . Well, what great name you have! What if. . . I give you a chance to worth your name? "

' A chance to worth my name?'

The man gets straight to the point, " Work for me!. . . I really need someone like you in my team! You'll be well payed for it, of course. . ."

" What kind of work? "

" Deliver some merchandises! "

Kaya doesn't need to think hard to guess what kind of merchandises he meant.

Kaya, " Can I have time to think about it? "

" Of course, let me know your answer after two days! "

Before Kaya opens the door and leaves. Outside, The sun is already high in the sky. Kaya didn't come back home. He thinks that those men let him go to easily. It'll be a problem for him if they know where he lives. Actually, He doesn't want to accept that blad man's offer. It's too much risk. If he get caught, he'll be literally burn alive.

Kaya steas an apple from the stall and walks away. The merchant didn't notice it.

Kaya takes a bite then chews it, " sour! "

' Liar!' Kaya thinks as he recalls what was written on the apples' merchant stall, 'sweet and juicy apples, my butt. . .'

The sun finally sat.

He goes to exchange one of his gold coin. He's purse is now full of bronze coins. He's happy just by seeing it.

[ Grrrrrr] His stomach rumbles. Kaya's starving, he skipped lunch today.

He sees a street vendent not far away from him. He's selling beef skewers. There's no guarantee that it's really beefs but he still buys some.

Full, he takes a sit on the sidewalk and falls asleep there.

He wakes up because of the footsteps and chatters of the people in the street. It's already the morning. He yawns then stands up.

" Mommy, I want this dolls! " A little girl cries to her mom while pointing the doll in the stall.

Her mom, " Not today, sweety! "

" Mommy, I want this! I want this! I want this! " The girl yells.
