boys.’
Dimitri inspects some clothing that might or might not fit him. He looks down at the price of the shirt and knows that he does not have enough money to buy it. Just then, he catches a glimpse of a boy paying for a couple of new outfits. The boy takes the coins and puts them in a little blue change bag hanging off his belt. Dimitri knows that he had to have this little blue change pouch. He had to get it, even if it meant breaking the law. He devised a plan in a split second and knew that it would work because he had seen other people do it back at his old home when they thought that no one was looking.
‘This was it, here we go.’ Dimitri thinks.
Dimitri watches the boy leave out the front door of the store with two other men and turn left. Dimitri races out the back to cut them off at the pass. He knew that he had only one shot at this. As he turns the corner, he bumps into the boy, and they almost knock each other to the ground. Dimitri slips the pouch away from the boy.
“I'm so sorry. Are you okay?”
“I'm okay. Are you okay?” the boy asks, startled by the fall.
“Ah, I'm okay. Sorry about that,” Dimitri hides the pouch. The two boys turn and go their separate ways. Dimitri cannot believe that it was that easy to take a bag of money from someone. Dimitri cuts into an alley and hides behind a stack of wooden boxes to count the money.
David, Markus, and Zebedeo start to head towards where they think the ladies could be. The three men are carefree as they carry the gifts for Marnina and Wendi. Looking around, the ladies are no where insight.
Zebedeo says, “This is going to be harder than I thought.”
Zebedeo sees all the people bustling about, going from store to store, and not paying much attention to him or the boys.
“Where do you think they are, Zeb?” Markus asks.
“God only knows.”
The three men set out to find the girls as they walk up and down the busy street stopping to peer into each store they come across.
Dimitri is hunting through a new store trying to find something. All he sees is the same old stuff that everyone has been wearing for months now. He wants something different. Dimitri makes it to the corner of the store where no one is standing or looking. He sees a long black robe-like coat that screams out to him. He tries the coat on and finds that it fits him perfect. Putting the hood up, he acts like the Grim Reaper coming back for the men that killed his parents.
The storeowner says, “Son, I think that coat suits you just fine.”
“How much is it?” Dimitri asks still holding out his hands.
“Four dollars and it’s yours,” The shopkeeper extends his hand. Dimitri drops four dollar coins into the storeowner’s hand and walks outside into the pleasant, sunny day. He hangs the pouch on his side and proceeds down the street back to the orphanage to have lunch with the new boy. Turning the corner he bumps into three people that he has seen before.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going” Dimitri says as he tries to hurry along.
“Its okay; we were trying to look for someone else ourselves,” Markus says jokingly not paying much attention to Dimitri. David just glances the other way as he peers into another store still searching for Marnina and Wendi. Zebedeo steps aside to let Dimitri pass. Dimitri rushes through as he hangs his head down to avoid making eye contact. Getting about ten feet away from the three men, Zebedeo notices something different about Dimitri and the change pouch on his hip but just nods it off as coincidence.
Wendi and Marnina come out of a store carrying bags of clothes for themselves. They start to walk towards Dimitri with large smiles and laughter barreling out of their mouths. The girls are oblivious to what is about to happen. Marnina looks right pass Dimitri to wave at Zebedeo, David, and Markus to get their attention. Zebedeo sees her hand waving in the
