"So, now you know. Every little sin I committed in that bank. You happy yet?" I said as if I didn't care, but I was pretty nervous on the inside.
"Yes, sir. This tells me everything I need to know to catch this guy." He told me in a really excited voice as if he was a child getting a new toy.
"Wait, what? I'm the guy you wanted to catch, I'm the one who got away."
"Yes, well apparently there was another break-in at the same time as you and Lawrence, but this guy tried to shoot the place dead. He saw that your friend went nuts and shot the banker, so when you left he shot the woman banker, and took some more money and headed for the door." He put it as if it was no big deal! He could've come for me if I hadn't left fast enough.
"Yeah, well he shot about five more people than your friend, so he is wanted for robbery, homicide, and impersonation of a cop."
"Wait, how did he impersonate a cop?" This just got better and better as I asked more questions.
"You know how you thought you were being chased by a cop, well that was him chasing after you for the money. Luckily, when you ran into the street, he didn't look both ways and was hit by a taxi. But he didn't stay down, he got up and ran for it because he knew if he stayed any longer he would get caught."
Wow, I just sat there in silence wandering what could have happened to me. Why did I ever make that stupid challenge, it's brought me nothing but a bust.
I turned around and stared at the man," So, your saying that man is still out there just wandering the streets?"
"Yes sir, but he has a mission."
"What do you mean?"
"He is looking for you and the money."
What? Why me, why the boy who-is-such-a-loser me?
"So, he is storming buildings and houses looking for me, well I have news for you, my parents don't care jack crap what happens to me. If I die, then oh well, not another mouth to feed and if I don't, then they will put me to work, that's how my family is." I hated to talk about my family, cause I knew they probably didn't know and care where I was right now.
"That's exactly why we are putting you with a counselor that's going to be your 'other parent', the counselor will protect you and keep your identity safe."
"Who is my counselor?" I was worried about having some freaky old lady who has a thousand cats and cant even remember my name.
"His name is Jake 'General' Logan. Uh, isn't that an interesting name." He read slowly from a paper as if he had never read it before.
My eyes got really big as I came to realization that was the man that Lawrence shot as I saw his name flash in gold letters when he went down.
