DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIING !
" Not so soon,I was having a very erotic dream. " A very young adult was beginning being disturbed by his alarm while he was deeply meditating,eyes closed and the left arm over his eyes,on his bed with his blanket. At first,he tried to ignore the machine but the noise got louder and louder. So finally he sat down on the mat and turned the alarm off.
He read 7 AM on his screen. The young man looked around him and clearly saw his room was in a hell of a mess,like after a tornado ravaged the inside of the bedroom. All the clothes were disposed of everywhere,from the floor to the ceiling; a lot of bread pieces are found to the corners of the walls and a lot of wires lie around the ground.
The man analyzed himself and saw he was only wearing a white T-shirt,with no pants and no underwear. Therefore,the first thing he saw by taking off his blanket... was his own sex. Normally he would ignore that detail but getting out of a sexual dream,he quickly got disgusted and found a random red underwear to put on. When he did that,he got up and made himself clean,brushing his teeth,showering himself and putting on some better clothes : a white T-shirt hidden by a red pullover,followed by a blue jean and some brown shoes.
He also had a connected watch on his right wrist,since he was left-handed. He searched for something in his drawer... then he found it into one of the drawers : a box with his clean glasses inside. He quickly put on the black glasses before to check on himself on the mirror. Despite the compmicated start of the day,he judged he ended up well for the appearance.
" I just need to shave that damn beard... Unless I keep it,to impress any more girls ! " He suggested. Then he got out of the bedroom and went to the dining room,where a large beige labrador waited for him. The dog ran to his master and promptly licked his beard and his cheeks. The master happily accepted those gifts before to serve the food for the dog in his plate.
" Here you go,Max ! Enjoy your food ! " The man put the plate on the floor,making Max run and eat quickly the food which was purposed. Meanwhile the man prepared for his breakfast a big sandwich with ham,cheese,corn flakes,ketchup and BBQ sauce. He accompagnied that with his daily milk. He could barely lift the giant sandwich.
" My doctor already told me to watch my diet... But whatever ! " The man reacted before to begin eating the sandwich with pleasure. After the man and the dog finished eating,both head to the Hi-Fi and the human being turned it on,playing Fresh from Kool and the Gang.
At first,the man tried to learn his dog how to dance,taking his front paws and making him take a few dance poses while slowly making him walk on his back paws.
" That's it,boy. Slowly but surely. " After a few dances,he let him go and decided to keep dancing on his own. Both have fun around the music,dancing onto disco and sniffing the floor around. Then the human plays some air guitar,imitating a famous rock player. But he went too much into his character that he kicked the chairs around.
Suddenly,someone knocked on the would get up so early to disturb me ?! That was the first thing he was thinking... until he went to open the door. He saw outside the house the person in charge of his loan. It was a woman,pretty old,at least 45 years old,who wore a white top with a blue jean.
" Ms Davidson ?! Sorry for the music. I... "
" Don't worry about the music,Mr. Thatcher. I don't mind. Actually it's about your loan. "
" Ha. " The man reacted with surprise,remembering he hadn't paid anything yet.
" You've got four weeks left to pay your loan. Otherwise you know the consequences. "
" Of course I know the consequences,my lady ! It's just that it's so hard,working too hard to earn barely enough to buy the foods. "
" I understand how troubled you are. But I recall you this is the law. Against my wishes,I am obliged to remind you that. But you do have the possibility to call anyone to your aid. How about your parents... "
" No ! Not my parents... " Suddenly,Thatcher began to feel sad and melancolic. " I wouldn't like to disturb them. "
" Well... Maybe a brother ? A sister ? Some friends ? "
" I am the only son in the family and I ain't the social type guy ! "
" I know how fucked up your life is,but my job is to ensure that the rules of those streets are respected by everyone... including you. "
" Of course. "
" Now,I'll be off. I must make a few calls to some friends. Goodbye. Hope I'll see you again. "
" Me too. " The man closed the door then lied back to back on it,into his thoughts.
" Shit. I got one month to pay my loans. Or I end up outside. If only my family was willing to help me. This would have never happened. None of this would have happened... Even if I could at least eat some ice creams whenever I wanted... Anyway ! Think,Gary ! I must find a way to get money. I already tried to present myself to all the fast-foods of the town and none could accept me. "
" Guess I don't have much of the choice. " He walked to his dog and caressed his head. " Max,I'll be out tonight. Don't bring any trouble while I'm out. " The young man,ready,headed out of the house,bringing with him a bag with a few items inside.
He arrived behind a big brown house with some windows open. Gary was hiding in the bushes,staring at the walls. Then he saw the owner of the house,an old woman,closing one of the windows. When he saw her heading to her living room,he took the chance to get out and stealthly run to the open window,leading to the kitchen. He lept up then landed inside before to immediately hide behind the wall.
Then he quickly grabbed a piece of chocolate cake and ate some of it before putting the rest in his backpack. Then he climbed upstairs,hopefully without the presence of the woman,then arrived at the door of the bedroom. He lockpicked the door - that took only ten seconds - then opened it. But as soon as he pulled down the handle,he spotted an alarm at the right of the door.
He pulled out a mini spider-robot he brought along and put it onto the wall.
" Behold my homemade spider-robot. " He commented silently.
The robot climbed onto the alarm and disabled it at distance. The human being calmly entered in the room and then he directly began to search the drawer. He started at the drawer with the clothes but all he found was some pearls. He had no interest in it and put them back where they were.
Then he checked the desk... and he found some green cash with three golden pieces and some expensive jewels. He stole all of it before to go to the door. Suddenly,he heard the woman climbing up the stairs. Panicked,he looked around then spotted the open window of the bedroom. Without thinking,he dashed and lept forward to the window blindly.
In consequence,he landed head first into the grass,leaving with a huge headache and maybe a broken neck... But the man seemed perfectly fine however. He got up stunned,holding his head,and tried to flee.
" I directly landed into the wrong spot ! " He said silently. Then he left the area.
The next morning...
" I'm sorry,I can't buy you that ! " A man behind the counter refused the items Gary Thatcher handed him. He returned it.
" But why ?! " Thatcher tried to understand.
" You know why. "
" Maybe... Because you're so shocked by the jewels I'm offering you that you can't afford to take them. " Gary joked around,trying to avoid the real reason.
" No. Because those items don't belong to you at all and you're trying to get rid of it to avoid the police. "
" Wait... Who told you they were stolen ? They are mine. "
" Gary ! You already did the same thing to me. AND BECAUSE OF YOU... I nearly got arrested. So,for the last time,take your shit,give it back to whoever you stole and NEVER come back here. " The owner nearly burst out of anger but hopefully,Gary,frustrated,left before he could explode.
While he was outside,Gary thought back at the conversation. He was so downed by this failure ; no one wanted to buy his jewels and he hadn't paid his rents yet. Frustrated,he threw one jewel to the wall,breaking it. The item ended up into pieces but Gary,too depresses,didn't take an eye to it and prefered to leave,meditating on his fate.
He was walking into a silent alley. But when he was gonna join the main street,a big black van stopped behind him and one man in black- wearing a mas -came out and knocked him out with a nightstick,after he said : " The Black Van committee isn't here. You should maybe try... "
