Chapter Eight: The Dream .

"Ahh Damn!"

Dave cursed as his milkshake dropped to the floor.

"Hey mister!" He called out to the culprit who was quick on his toes like something was on his heels.

"Excuse! " He heard the loud shouting behind him as he swerved out of possible harms way, two cops passed him by instantly.

"Pheww! Another thief " He said to himself as he proceeded to pick up what remains of the milkshake.

"Pot calling kettle black." He heard a voice reply at his own words and quickly turned with the almost empty plastic cup in his hand.

"Huh? What did you say?" He asked the man who looked like nothing he had seen before. The cup in his hand hit the floor as the hair on his skin stood erect. The man was faceless. This had to be a nightmare. He was scared, but held back his emotions as he knew he was out in the open and the chances of the man trying something funny was low. Heck if worse comes to worse he would just scream like a woman. There was no shame in that. His life was very important to him.

He looked around and saw other people walking beside them, not bothered by the appearance of the man in front of him.

"Seems this world is going crazy everyday. " He muttered under his breathe.

"Do not be afraid."

Bro's speaking to me like he's Gabriel and I'm Joseph.

The faceless man assured him as Dave slightly nodded his head. I mean, what can I do?

"Can't help it."

"You think this guy would be caught ?" The faceless man asked as both pair stared at the distant figure of a running man with two cops on his tail.

"Definitely." Dave responded as he dumped the spilt milkshake into the nearest waste bin and began to walkforward.

"Here, have this."

He took the new cup from the man with a light thanks, and sipped on the hot coffee, not bothering where it came from.

"He's running in a straight line, not making use of the city corners and he's looking behind his back too often than necessary....Escaping after stealing isn't a game of tag, that you can say I give up, when caught, you're done; sometimes for life."

"What if, he has a companion?"

The moment the faceless man said it, a car instantly whipped out in front of the man and the door was flunged open. The man jumped in quickly as the car started moving before the door was slammed shut .

"What do you think?" He turned towards Dave as the young lad chuckled to himself.

"They are already busted!"

Few seconds later and a police van pulled up into their front and the their car rammed into it heavily, almost all the occupants losing consciousness as the men in black and blue quickly surrounded the criminals.

"Excellent!"

The faceless man had a smile on his face as Dave instinctively shuddered

'Creepy.'

"Anyways, what would you have done ?" He asked.

"Simple, run into a crowded place, the more the people, the better my chances of escaping."

"And why's that ?" He asked curiously.

"Because when it comes to issues of police and criminals, most humans would prefer to stay neutral and not involve themselves, especially when they aren't the aggrieved party or the victim. You see, no one wants to be collateral damage."

The white faceless head nodded as Dave continued.

"And I could change my outfit, disguise my appearance with some sunglasses , face caps and scarfs and then walk back through where I came from. "

"That's towards the police ?"

"Yes. Going the other direction is a guaranteed way of been caught, cause the moment they can't sight you again, they could seal off that area and ensure everyone has been searched and identified. It ain't like the movies where they give up because they are working on a script"

"Fair point"

"And another way is to become a staff of one of the shops of something. If its a mall, that's become a newly employed janitor, or a sales man with a whopping cough, so the face mask can stay on.....There are quite a lot of ideas, you just apply them on which scenario fit. "

"And.."

"Lastly, it's not everything you steal, even a thief has to learn how to walk away. Only pull a string when you know it's going to ring."

The man looked at me as a smile instantly lit up on his face, my heart falling deep into my guts.

"You play instruments ?"

"Yeah.i grew up in tye church."

"I think you had make an excellent fit."

"An excellent fit for what ?" Dave asked with curiosity as the man brought out a coin.

It was the brightest, shiniest , and glowing coin he had ever seen in his life. Heck! He could call it a coin of many colours. Cause it was in fact displaying many colours.

"What's that ?"

"My gift to you. Or should I say the universe gift to you."

The universe now throwing free gifts? Since when did it become Santa?

Dave chuckled as he stared around him, everything was still normal and people went about their business with vigour and life.

"I heard you." The man replied with no facial expression.

"Sorry."

"So you represent the universe or you're the universe ?" I asked .

"I represent." The faceless man replied calmly.

"Okay this sounds great and I'm definitely humble and grateful in entertaining your presence. " Dave said as he only got a smile in reply.

"So what does the universe want in exchange ?" I asked in a solemn tone.

"Excuse me ?"

"The universe can't gift me something without taking another in return."

"Ohh that." The man chuckled as he quickly flipped the coin. The moment the coin was in the air, he flicked it towards Dave as the coins swiftly moved through the air and pierced his heart.

"Shit!" He cursed but felt no pain, the coin disappearing into his chest. The faceless man slowly fading away.

"What was taken in return ?!" Dave screamed as the man simply smiled while his body was slowly becoming invisible to the eyes.

"Take a guess?"

Slowly he stretched out his hand and pointed at Dave's crotch. There was a pause for a second or two, as a loud scream followed suit, Dave heavily protesting.

"Not my dick!, leave my dick alone!. I'm not sacrificing my dick for a single coin! The universe, I fucking refuse!" He screamed out as tears slowly rolled down his eyes, the man faded away with a huge laughter.

"Fuck you universe! Fuck yo....ahh!"

He screamed out in pain as he jumped up from the couch, his body slamming back into the seat, as the pressure that was exerted on his dick slowly released its grasp. The pain had awakened him and he stared at both girls staring at him with fear for Adianne and curiosity for Pearl. The trio eyes travelled down to his crotch as Pearl hand was clamped down on it.

It was her ? What the actual fuck ?

"You want to let go ?" Dave asked in a tired voice as he slumped his soaked sweaty body back to the couch.

"Ohh" Pearl said softly, seemingly awoken from her brief trance, as she slowly redraw her hands.

"Sorry for waking you guys up, it was just a nightmare."

"Yeah, you kept shouting leave my dick alone, so I decided to you know, hold it and see if you would truly wake up since someone was now, not leaving it alone."

Thinking of the logic and my head can't wrap around it.

There was silence as he ran her words through his head over and over, trying to decipher the logic behind her action, reason for action,and benefit of her action. But he just couldn't. He simply shrugged as he whispered to himself,

"Women."

"Ohh...what's the time ?" He asked.

"Three at midnight." Adianne said softly as Pearl eyes were still fixed on him, or rather the lower part of him.

"Let's all hit the sheets, grab some sleep before morning comes " He said as he turned over.

Both girls settled in as Pearl thought to herself, 'It's big'.

Meanwhile Dave hand reached for his pants as his palms grasped his soldier,

"Ahh, thank God." He muttered under his breathe as he let go of his member and quickly fell asleep.
