- Theft ..? Don ' t think so ..
He smiled at me , before turning to his parrot and give it something to chew ..
- As you like .. Just wanted to help .. Anyway I ' m sure I ' ll be hearing from you soon when you change your mind ..
- YOUR MIND .. YOUR MIND .. CHANGE YOUR MIND .. !!
The damn parrot kept repeating his last words while jumping in his place as if it had gone nuts , while I tried to realize what to do now .. The chat was over before it even began .. Leave ..? That easy ..?
I leaned on the hand of my armchair , trying to pull myself together .. " Khalid " went to open the door silently , which explained that I should be going now just like I thought ..
He didn ' t try to stop me , neither did any of his gorilla-like assistants like they used to do before ... no one even tried harassing me .. They just stood there watching me as I left ..
And when I went back home I found that little " Nancy " was gone , and there was a short notice saying that I know what to do if I wanted to see her again ..
That ' s why you see me here carrying that pistol that I ' m not even good at using , pretending to be dangerous , pretending to be a professional gangster , just to finish the bloody job and set my only child free from the claws of the villains who took her .. Had to do so because all the attempts I made to find their hiding place were useless , and my sister didn ' t see anyone around the house that night , and didn ' t even realize what happened till I came back .. We stood for few seconds looking stupidly at the empty small bed .. Couldn ' t find anything they left behind to use to follow them , and there wasn ' t enough time from the first place .. They just gave me one day to give them a final answer ..!! Either yes , and
