3: Trust

A trail of light entered the store.
Hikari didn't pay the new costumer any mind as he continued to look at the different types of ropes, wondering which one would be strong enough to lift what might have to be lifted. Really, his plan wasn't completed yet, and he might just pay people to do everything for him.

"Hey, do you have any spare parts?" A voice asked, "I need an old computer, or something like that."

Hikari looked up, curious of who would want an old computer.

The shop keeper smiled kindly. "I'll just look in the back," they said, "Maybe we've got something lying around."

The person who had just came in looked normal. It was a teenager, almost. Hikari looked at their backpack. His eyes widened ever so slightly when he found the name of the exact lab he had to steal from.

Quickly Hikari grabbed a random rope. He knew most of them were good, but he had to be quick to do what he had to.
While the shop keeper was still in the back, the person drummed their fingers on the counter.
Hikari casually walked behind them. Of course the person payed Hikari no mind.
Pulling his hood up a bit, Hikari bumped into the person.

"Sorry," Hikari said as he reached out with his free hand, only then stepping away.

The person glared a bit at Hikari, but their eyes didn't find Hikari's hidden face. The person rolled their eyes looked away to continue their wait.

Hikari walked out with a phone now in his hands. Stealing wasn't right, Hikari knew, but he didn't give a single fuck.

While he walked through the street he looked at the phone with a mischievous smile. What he now had in his hand would solve everything.

Simply everything! Luck was on his side! Hikari knew what to do, he knew how to save his own life!

"What's that?" The phone got suddenly grabbed from Hikari's hands.

With wide eyes, Hikari panicked. Quickly he turned around to find a red feathered pro hero behind him. "Hawks!"

"A phone? Did you buy a new one?"

"No," Hikari said as he took it from Hawks' hands quickly. "I just— it's from a friend."

"A friend?" Hawks asked. His sharpened gaze gave away he didn't quite believe what Hikari said. "Well if you say so, I trust you, mate."

"Yeah," Hikari said uncomfortably. Great, Hawks trusted him. It would be a mistake to trust Hikari, or so he thought himself.

"Hey, you up for some food?" Hawks suddenly changed the subject. He already stared walking, only to get stopped by some fans.

Hikari sighed and shook his head. "I should be getting home, I've got homework."

"Sure," Hawks called back, "Just don't work too hard. And return that phone." There was a hint in his voice, and Hikari didn't miss it at all.

"Will do," Hikari said, and he knew he would. After he hacked into it.
