A band of sandwich robbers (3)

Somewhere in city K

‘’You got the news?’’

Axia Shaw, 18yo, was sitting above a pink sheeted bed, talking to someone on the phone.

‘’What news?’’

On the other side of the call was Logan Shaw, 22yo, he was walking on the sidewalk seemingly approaching his next class in college.

‘’Ivy was taken by M.C.O!’’ spoken with a cheerful tone she gave the news to her big brother. Ivy, a pet name for Ivan (Kachi) was something only she and Logan used.

‘’Wait! Seriously?’’ his tone was full of excitement, ‘’you know what that means?’’

‘’Yep, we can finally go back home!’’

************

‘’Yaaaaaaaaaaaa,’’ yelling his lungs out, Kachi closed his hand making a fist, and jumped towards Thaila. She quickly stopped the incoming punch, replying with a hard punch on Kachi’s face.

Dylan, who was shaking in fear when saw Kachi getting punched, screamed, and ran out of the cafeteria.

Divya’s mini robotic toys went in two teams, one after Thaila and the other after the glass dome. Divya was successful in reaching the sandwich and distracting Thaila at the same time, however the defense system of the dome went active after identifying the culprits as non-living objects, a flame thrower appeared from the ceiling burning all of the second team robots. Meanwhile, Thaila grabbed a knife, stabbed, and broke the remaining robots of team 1.

Seeing Thaila distracted through a failed attempt by Divya, Ethan went rushing towards the counter, while pouring chloroform on a tissue, on the other hand, Luca used his YOYO and stuck it on the glass dome successfully, Thaila noticed it and leaped towards the dome only to be stopped by Hera who hugged her from behind.

Luca pulled the dome towards himself and threw it in the direction of Carson after realizing it was locked and that he was unable to open it.

Carson began to open it using the lock opener set while Luca, Ethan, Hera, Divya, and Kachi kept Thaila busy and away from him.

Carson was successful in opening the dome and handed the sandwich to Nora, ‘’Oh mon dieu, bonjour, take this and run.’’

However, she ate the sandwich as soon as it came into her hands.

‘’Oh mon dieu, bonjour, What have you done?’’ Carson yelled in anger.

‘’Well, that was…’’ Hera stopped after noticing what Nora did, ‘’unexpected.’’

‘’THE ITEM HAS BEEN STOLEN SUCCESSFULLY, BRING IT TO THE TEACHER’S OFFICE TO RECEIVE YOUR POINTS.’’

************

‘’What are we going to do now?’’

Diya spoke in a defeated tone, with disappointment in her eyes.

‘’Nothing, there is no second sandwich after one is stolen, like the cafeteria lady said, seems like you are dead Kachi.’’ (Hera)

Sitting on the table, having many bruises and dirt all around their clothes and bodies, they appeared to be dead inside.

Ethan was patting Nora who was crying because of what she did earlier.

‘’Lol.’’

‘’It’s all my fault, I’m sorry.’’ (Nora)

‘’Pathetic, you ruined it for everyone.’’ (Dylan)

‘’Oh mon dieu, bonjour, you are one to talk, you ran away screaming, like a three-year-old.’’ (Carson)

‘’I get scared when I do something bad, like stealing or robbing, I’m pathetic.’’

Dylan burst into tears and dropped his head on the pasta plate in front of him.

While everyone was sitting at that table, Paisley was inspecting one of the walls of the cafeteria with pure attention and curiosity in her eyes.

‘’We can make a new sandwich or buy one and pretend it’s the same thing.’’ (Luca)

‘’It won’t work.’’ (Hera)

‘’Let’s make it an egg sandwich,’’ Kachi smiled like an idiot as he spoke.

‘’Better than doing nothing, in the end, the fault will fall only on Kachi.’’ (Divya)

‘’Oh mon dieu, bonjour, let's make it a delicious one.’’ (Carson)

‘’Pathetic, why not ask her to make an exact copy, when I came here last night to steal the sandwich, I saw her throwing away the old one and making a new one.’’ Dylan lifted his pasta-covered head and pointed towards Thaila.

‘’Wait…’’ Hera yelled in anger, ‘’you knew we could come at night and about the replacement thing, but you still didn’t tell us?’’

‘’Nobody asked me,’’ Dylan spoke in a tone full of pride, still having his face covered in pasta, ‘’my standards aren’t that low to speak without the need.’’

‘’Lol?’’

‘’I hope we don’t get any more group missions.’’ (Divya)

‘’Everyone relax,’’ Kachi stood up and smiled, ‘’leave everything to your leader.’’

With that Kachi advanced towards Thaila, everyone but paisley spat in anger as they watched him walk.

************

Kachi had been standing on the counter doing nothing for an hour, everyone got tired of watching him and left one after the other.

‘’I think he accepted his defeat, let’s go, no point in staying here any longer.’’

Divya spoke with Nora as she got up.

As soon as the last person left the room, Kachi got on his knees and started crying, ‘’Please, make a replica of the sandwich.’’

‘’Not a chance,’’ Thaila calmly rejected him.

‘’I have 3 kittens to feed, if you don’t help me, I will fail this program and won’t be able to provide for them.’’

Kachi grabbed her collar and went closer to her with his runny nose and crying eyes, ‘’think about my future wife too, she will die of hunger.’’

‘’Find a different job, I don’t see how that relates to this.’’ (Thaila)

‘’AAAAAha haaaaaaa haaaaaa, *sob* think of me as a desperate human, won’t you help a human teen in need? Don’t be this cruel, Osiris, I mean Thaila, I mean Cafe lady.’’

Kachi slowly dropped his head and screeched on the floor as tears continuously fell down.

The calm and fierce nature of Thaila quickly shifted into shock and confusion, ‘’How… you… I never… I never told you my name.’’

On his face, laying on the floor, Kachi Kept crying, ‘’Do you know, it’s bad to kill people from sister agencies, please my kittens are counting on you, help me.’’

‘’Are you working for the big guys? Did they send you here posing as a student?’’ Thaila grabbed a knife, got out of the counter, and stood above Kachi.

‘’I work for no one, if you help me,*sob* I will help you,’’ Kachi slowly got up while crying.

‘’How about I kill you right here and now?’’ Thaila pointed the knife toward Kachi’s throat.

‘’If that’s what your caretaker was worth, then go on,’’ Kachi grabbed her hand moving the knife closer, ‘’however, if that’s not the case, make me a sandwich woman.’’

‘’What are you after? Are you trying to blackmail me for money?’’ Thaila dropped the knife.

‘’Money is hardly what I’m after, you can say we have the same goals, but different needs and ways to achieve them.’’

************

‘’Seems like all of you passed the group mission.’’

Luna congratulated the whole class the next day for completing the mission.

‘’And not to mention within 2 days,’’ Aron applauded.

Everyone was amazed to hear that, as they thought they had failed after Nora ate the sandwich, all their eyes shifted towards Kachi who was picking his nose and lost in thoughts about eggs.

‘’From now on, you will be learning, the robber’s special techniques, along with doing missions while abiding by R.A rules,’’ Aron explained their next course, ‘’meanwhile, you will be learning the crucial art of having connections with students of other agencies.’’

‘’The connection task will last until the end of the program,’’ Luna entered the explanation, ‘’each student will need to have numbers and friendship signatures from at least 3 students of either H.T, C.G.O, or F.U programs.’’

‘’With that being said, today we will start learning the skills, the connection task will also start today, the people who finish it first will get bonus points, starting from 160 for first and ending at 20 for the last person to reach completion.’’

Aron clapped and the classroom started to move down, entering G4, only the floor moved, so all the students were able to see what was on G4. A vast area having props of many buildings and streets, resembling a portion of the city.

It had buildings from normal shops, to banks and hospitals, everything you could see in any city was present there, even the citizens that were acting as different employees from company workers to police officers.
