Chapter 3 - Thief

It’s him…

He’s walking towards me and our eyes met.

“Hi ling, cinnamons?”

It’s not a dream! He still remember me!

“no need to apologize last night, it just happened right?” he smile, he grabbed my hand and lend me the delivery. I left standing still as he walk away and wave his hand.

“see you around ling and by the way, your shirt…..”

Is he planning to embarrassed me with what I’m wearing?

“…… I like it” he continued and left.

Suddenly I feel and hear my heart beating fast.

After grabbing my breakfast, I applied for the part time in the café and I can start next week since I have a busy days this week. On the way to our company I bumped into a police, he doesn’t look good and he’s out of breath

I think he’s chasing someone

“are you ok sir?? - -“ I asked. Then suddenly, he chase the guy with an expensive woman’s bag. I saw his hands holding his waist… he’s been stabbed with a knife! I saw his blood dripping as he chase the thief. I chase the police man, I know it’s dangerous but he’s bleeding, I can’t help it. He really doesn’t look good, he might faint any minutes. I know where the thief is heading since I’m so familiar with every place in our city, I take the shortcut way where the thief is possibly headed and indeed, I’m right. He made a right choice in choosing the escape path through that wounded policeman. I always have pepper spray inside my bag. I hide beside the garbage cart and wait for him to come closer. I spray it directly to his face and he fell down, I took the bag with me but he can still manage to chase me. I keep running.

“wait for me---” he said. I check him behind but he disappeared. I run back to the policeman and took him to the nearest hospital.

“here..” I gave him the bag.

“thank you miss, I owe you a lot. Here—take this, call me if you need help or what. I’m Danny Lim.” He gave me his contact card.

“oh thank you sir. I’m lingling, take care sir. I really need to go, sorry for leaving you here.”

“just call me dan. I’m fine here… thank you again ling” he smile and I left.

As expected, I received punishment for being super duper late in training. No valid excuses from me.

Who might be the person behind that scene? Who took the thief. I'm really curious about it.

After our training I decided to go where the thief vanished while chasing me. I'm so curious because I know every path and escape path in this city but how did that thief vanished? I'm in the site now, I checked every angles or corners but didn't find a clue. I heard some guys and they might be a gangsters, three of them and they look drunk. I'm cornered. They saw me and its a signal that I'm in danger, they don't look away but they walk towards me. I'm trapped. I remember the phone number of Danny and I carefully get my phone from my rear pocket and dialed his number. I can feel its ringing and got answered. I speak normally,

"Behind the building where I get the expensive bag, where the thief vanished. You three, if you'll move closer you'll be vanished or you wanna die in my hands?" i'm really nervous this time, I feel that danny hang up my call. Damn this traitor. I really wanna cry, I'm scared.

They are now standing infront of me

"you little girl, wanna have fun with us?" men one

"you'll have fun, we're tasty" men three

The second men grabbed my waist and kissed my neck...

Why can't I shout? I left frozen.

"p-please... Don't..." i cried

Wukong please... I know you're alive, please help me.. Please...

I closed my eyes and when I opened it, they are gone..

Someone took them and that someone also left me a jacket to wear. I wear it immediately

"Lingling!!!!" someone's running towards me. It's danny.

"where are they!? Are you ok!?" he asked

Do I looked ok? Stupid

"Traitor..." everything turns dark, I passed out.

I woke up in the hospital. I don't have any wounds or bruise, maybe I passed out because I'm stress.

I saw Danny beside me.

"hey," he said and gave me a glass of water.

"how long you've been here?"

"since I took you here, 3 hours"

I slept for 3 hours, that's a great rest for this day.

"I'm sorry, I'm late... I didn't caught the guys either, i'm glad they didn't do anything to hurt you" danny told me, I can see his sincerity.

Its find, he's been stabbed this morning....

"it's ok. I'm strong! Look i'm so fine, you're the one who needs to rest. Sorry for bothering you"

"no, its my duty. Next time i'll be on time for sure."

"it's fine, haha. I need to go now, I still have work tomorrow." i said.

We walked together way out the hospital.

"Thank you for taking me here dan, see you around" I smile and I left.

Somethings not really right, that thing save me twice this day.. Who are you?

I noticed the jacket that i'm wearing now.

Wukong.... Impossible....

This jacket was the jacket he's wearing this morning! I can't be wrong. It's him. Sun Wukong.

I run immediately heading to the convenience. From the outside I saw him....

It's really him. He's not wearing the jacket but there are bruises in his face. Why did he save me??

I entered the convenience and walked toward him.

He was shocked the moment he see me giving back he's jacket.
