-(Dialling tone),- I never really loved being around any of my over enthusiastic uncles or aunts. Same was true for babysitting their good for nothing sons.

-...,- Now I miraculously got myself an unwanted cousin or a very slick little thief. "My Dad would be so proud" I told myself.

-Hey Selina.

-Hey, I am finished here.

-Wow. That was very quick, actually.

-Yes.

-And? Could have probably stayed with him a bit more, gotten something on the theft.

-I think I am going to have plenty of time for that.

-Alright then. So, want me to pick you up?

-No. Not really. But Jerry, could you do me a favour and get me Layla?

-Ugh...what!? I mean, you sure?

-Jerry. Let"s pretend that we are on a job and move on.

-I don"t get you. I never do. Hang on.

-...

-Yess, I am here.

-Layla, were you serious about our date?

-Yes.

-Things can get, a little grumpy with me. You know that by now?

-I know that. Yes.

-Let"s start off with our privacy.

-Huh? Okay,- It was hard to believe that not some hours ago I was standing as her love rival. So she believed. But if things needed to work I had to take initiative. There was a job I wanted to get done.

-You have a little searching and confiscating to do. Up for it?

-What! Why? No. How??

-You will see it first hand. Consider it a gift. The task is easy as opposed to what it may sound.

-Stealing? No. Sel. I mean, how in the world am I supposed to just..

-You wanna do something interesting and exciting than just supervising a bar? Go out with me? This is where start.

-...

-Okay. I see. Forget it. Hand over the phone to Jerry.

-...

-Kid, waiting here.

-Okay.

-Okay?

-I"ll do it. But it"s your responsibility if something happens to me.

-I know that. Now, get moving. Make an excuse to big guy and Jane.

-...

-Call me in five minutes.

-Understood.

-I know that it"s pointless trying to talk to you. But I am tied up with my job at one point. So if you want to continue to act like a jerk, then I am going to have to have you over to the force. Or you can argue about correct authority here.

-...

-But from what I saw, with a place this much populated and chaotic I reckon there"s any less number of runners like you to hire.


-(A big exhale),- And it was really the first time he physically reacted to my statement.

-I see. As for now, you won"t be moving much with the condition of your leg.

(Phone Rings)

It was Layla calling. I didn"t believe her to be up for this, then. I was kinda impressed...

-Yes? Where are you?

-On the driveway. You don"t really intend to send me into someone"s house, steal stuff and not get caught?

-I"ll text you an address. It"s a hotel I am currently staying. Get there.
