Chapter 2: We'd Meet Again, Friend

The guy with the blue hat smiled in his triumph while tossing Geo's wallet up in the air. In the meantime, he's 'hiding' in one of his secret tunnels in an alleyway dumped by so-many garbage. It really stinks but he's used to it, for almost twenty years of his life.

That's a very good start for the day and more will follow this one.

He opened the still-new leather wallet and he whistled in his search. Inside are two thousand yen with coins counting over fifty yen and some. well. errr. shall we say. a picture of a sexy, tanned-skin girl in an Arabic-style costume with a weird hairdo, a comb, a withered petal of a rose, a small red-blinking button attached to the side and a plastic of candies?

His brows raised on the last item. Then there was a grumbling noise and he looked around. He looked down, his face the colour of an anaemic child.

It's no other than his stomach.

When his eyes lay on the candies, his stomach grumbled more as if it is an erupting volcano. So, he popped those colourful candies into his mouth. A good substitute for breakfast. He will take dinner later.

After eating, he put the leather wallet inside the remaining pocket of his worn pants. He stood up, nearly banging his head on the 'low ceiling' and he came out.

Then, a shadow loomed over him. He raised his head in curiosity and his face became pale again. Before him is the man whom he just robbed a couple of minutes ago.

Geo's face is like that of a raging bull, a devilish grin formed in his lips. "We meet again, boy." And he lowered his heavy hands on the lad's shoulder. It sagged.

The guy winched in pain, trying to break free from Geo's tight grip. His body is already shaking because of fear and confusion and he's nearly in tears. He had never seen an angry man like this before. but he seems so familiar.

"Please. please let me go! I beg of you!" the lad pleaded. "Don't report me to the cops or putting me in jail! I'll. I'll just give your wallet back; I've never touch anything, except the candies."

Geo's grip became tighter than ever and he shook the lad. "You. you bastard! Don't you know that those candies are from Autozam! They're the last ones that I have!" He shook the lad harder.

The lad's cap fell from his head. A shower of yellowish white locks went in different directions on his head and forehead. He looked grimly at Geo at the eye; blue eyes met darker ones.

Geo was aghast with utmost horror. He can't believe of what he's seeing right now. His hands loosen its grip on the lad's shoulder. He stepped back, before uttering, "Ea-Eagle!!!???"

AN: Wonder how Geo had found Eagle in his hideout??? Read the next chappie, 'kay? I don't know the color of Geo and Eagle's eyes, and if you know them, tell me! I think this chapter's gonna pass a lot of editing 'coz. well. it's just that I feel uneasy with this one.
