It was a pleasant morning in Corset. The bustling streets had began and many workers have started their daily routines.Somehow it got a little noisy that day and whispers of people scattered from the place.
"What's that?"
"The blue marauder striked again!"
"What!?"
"He really did it this time. Haha! Who is he?. He's hilarious"
"Haha.What a show he did"
From the gossip of people, the police came in the middle of the forest.The carriage stopped and a police officer came out.
"Sir!" a policeman said that is standing around the area.
"Chief, what happened here?"
"Sir, the blue marauder striked again sir!"
The police officer looked at the man tied on a tree with no clothes except his boxers.
"Sir, This is Count (giggled) Lester! Sir! The blue marauder left some documents that proved Count Lester has done some illegal transport of goods and guilty for trading children with foreign clients!"
"Documents? How did he left the documents?"
"By a letter, Sir"
"Letter?"
"Yes Sir! It said there that he is a criminal and advised us also to give him clothes later and---"
"And?"
"He said also that he took all the money that Count Lester has as payment for the capture of the criminal"
"He took it!?"
"Yes, sir"
He grinned. From the crowd, their looks on their faces are holding their laughter from the sight they see. Then the Count Lester who is still unconcious at that time, woke up.
"HUH? WHAT!?"The count panicked then let out a growl"BLUE MARAUDER!!!!"
"Alright! Chief! Get him out from that tree and send him to the quarters. We'll deal with him later and follow the instruction he said to give him proper clothes later" He said grinning. The chief nodded. The crowd behind them began to giggle.
The police untied him from the tree and rode the carriage.
"You'll pay for this Blue Marauder! I'll get you someday!"He said as the door shut.
"Sir! Are you coming with us?"
"No. You go ahead. I have some business to attend to"
"Yes, Sir"
When the carriage was gone from the crowd's sight, they let out a turmendous laugh that can be heard from the streets of Corset. They left the forest with cheerful faces. The police officer was left alone in the middle of the forest.
"You heard everything he said, don't you? boy"
"Heh! I'll never get out from your sight, Can I? Dane"A voice came out from the branches on the tree.
"You should be careful, Boy"
"I'm just having fun! there ain' no wrong about that ,right? Dane"
"That's not what I'm talking about. You're facing dangerous people. You're still stealing in the name of the law even you steal from people who are criminals"
"I'm alright"
"I know that you got a good reason for doing this but the law is the law. One wrong move within a battle with someone, you'll be proven wrong even if you're right. Got that boy?"
"Alright. Breathe some air a bit, Dane. You'll get a heart attack if you don't but what I did, It's funny right?"
"Heh! HAHA! I have to admit that was a quite flashy capture you did boy!"
"Haha! Told ya'"
The bushes rustled behind him. Someone came out and it was one of the policemen.
"Sir! The count is already in the quarters. You are the only we were waiting for Sir!"
"Go on! I'll follow"
"Yes, Sir" he said as he find his way out of the forest.
After that, the forest again is quiet. The police officer Dane started walking and gave a last look on his back and walked out of the forest. The wind blowed hard and the leaves are carried by the wind. It left with a mystery of an unknown friendship. It was sunny that day.
