Chapter 4: Getting a Job

Sly walked aimlessly through the streets, looking for 'Help Wanted' or 'free job' or even 'food and money for free' signs. He walked into a guy putting up signs.

"Hey, you want a job?" The guy said.

"REALLY!" SLy squealed.

"Yes. Name's Rick." Rick said.

"Well my name's Sly." Sly said.

"I didn't ask you your name." Rick said in an ominous tone.

"Well, when can I start? And what excactly do I do?"

"You're gonna be the guy who doesn't get a job. I don't like your face." Rick said, pulling out a knife. Sly ran away as fast as he could.

Pretty soon Sly ran up a fire escape and got away from Rick.

"Well," Sly thought. "I guess I have to be a guy who doesn't have a job." He looked around the town. he saw a billboard that read, "JOIN THE POLICE FORCE: COMPUTER JOB OPEN Call Steve at: 911"

"Wow, someday I could do that! Oh wait that's right. I don't like computers." Sly said out loud. "Wait that's right I have to get my job back."

Sly walked to the police station. He burst through the doors.

"I HAVE RETURNED!" Sly shouted triumphantly. There was no applause. Not even a cheer. Everyone was looking at him. Then, as if nothing had happened, everybody went back to work

Sly walked sadly to the office, hoping he could get his job back.

But will he? Find out in Chapter 5!
