air with the bracelet that he gave her for her birthday.
“Hey, boys. I think the girls are over there,” Zebedeo points in their direction and starts walking to them with David and Markus trailing behind him.
Zebedeo, David, and Markus get closer to Marnina and Wendi; and closer to Dimitri. Dimitri stands in front of a fruit stand trying to blend in with the crowd. Zebedeo and David are staring ahead while Markus has his eyes wondering all around, looking at all of the different people.
Then Markus notices something unusual and questions himself. ‘Why would a person have a change bag that appears to be just like David’s change bag?’
Markus taps David on the shoulder to get his attention.
Pulling David closer to him, Markus asks, “David, what color and shape are your change bag?”
“It’s my favor color, blue, with a gold string that is laced through the top of it holding it closed. Why?” David replies starting to reach for his change bag.
Markus butts in, “Because I think that kid has it.”
David feels for his change bag. “It’s gone! What happened to my change bag? I know I put it right back in the same place every time. It never leaves my side. It’s always there. Maybe I dropped it or maybe it fell off by getting untied…” David tries to figure out what just happened.
“Or maybe someone just stole it and maybe that someone is standing very close to you right this second,” Markus adds and points to Dimitri standing with his back to David and Markus. David watches the boy with the hooded coat walk away with the pouch.
David and Markus wait for the right time to accuse Dimitri of stealing David's pouch. Then, Dimitri takes the change bag off his belt and fishes out some coins to pay for some fresh fruit. David catches sight of his initials that he had Aunt Marnina sew on the side of the change bag. He and Markus were waiting for that clue. They approach the unknown boy to question him about the change bag that he has in his position.
“Excuse me, I was just wondering whose initials are on the side of the exquisite change bag that you have in your hand,” David asks Dimitri. Markus grabs Dimitri's hand carrying the bag. Dimitri tries to resist.
Markus, trying to be the bad cop, locks eyes with Dimitri, “I think that you owe my brother an apology and some money that you just stole.”
Dimitri wiggles away from Markus’s hold and throws the bag to the ground to buy himself some time. David reaches for the bag as Markus tries to regain his balance. Markus watches Dimitri escape down an alleyway next to the building. David jumps to his feet as Zebedeo, Marnina, and Wendi come strolling up to them.
“What happen? Did you drop your change bag?” Marnina asks not noticing the hatred that appeared on David and Markus’ faces.
“Yes, something like that. I’ll be right back,” David starts to sprint down the alleyway after Dimitri with Markus fast behind him. David and Markus watch Dimitri turn the corner at the end of the alley, barely missing a couple of people unloading a wagon. They are only a couple of seconds behind Dimitri when they make it to the end of the alley. They come to a new street filled with people in their own little worlds. Markus and David glance around, trying to locate Dimitri, but the sea of people cloak him.
Dimitri stands at a window, peering from the orphanage’s front office. He hears a voice behind him clearing their throat to get his attention.
“Playing hide and go seek with someone?” Mr. Quinn smiles at Dimitri knowing that he is up to no good.
“Something like that,” Dimitri rubs his forehead trying to make himself cooler. “I’m not late am I?”
“No, you’re not, just go freshen up and meet me in the dining room.”
In disbelief, Dimitri stares at his uncle because he is not going to ask any more questions or even scold him.
“Thanks. I’ll be there in a couple of minutes.”
