The thief approaches a bus stop infront of a hospital. While sitting on the bench, her eyes are watching three other people who are waiting for the bus. Two of them are wearing T-shirt and sweatpants. Carrying a bag with books in their hands. A student perhaps. One of them is wearing formal. Like an office worker. Complete with a black coat, slack pants, tie and leather shoes. At his hand is a Samsung Galaxy Note 6. A suitcase he's holding in his left hand may store something important.

The bus arrives. Everybody queued before boarding the bus including the thief. Maybe all of them are going to the same destination or different destinations, just the same bus route. Bus number 226. When the students are about to board the bus, the man in formal cut their line. The students shook their heads. The thief behind the students is pissed. You think you're rich you can do whatever you want? Mehh.

The thief sat at the second row, directly beside the window of the bus. She wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city at night. Road lights are shining. Colourful. While she's busy looking around, her phone rang, singing the song Titanium by Sia. Detective Hazim's name is displayed. She answered.

"Hello? Yeah detective?"

"Hello? Girl In Fantasy World?"

"Detective. Don't call me that."

"Hahaha. Hey Ainin. Are you free tonight?" asked Detective Hazim.

"Hmm. Depends. Why?"

"There's something urgent. Can we meet?"

"Sure. Same place?"

'Yeah."

"Okay, meet you there."

She hung up. Ainin stood up. The red button is pushed when she saw her destination. The bus stopped. The man in formal also stood up. Ah, he's disembarking here too? Nice.

Buk!

Ainin 'accidently' hit the man in formal. The man cursed at her. So many curse words she can't even hear what it is. Ainin said sorry and walked away pretending to be in a rush. She smiled.

Ainin walked towards Crystal Crown Hotel. Hehe, just my luck. Ainin took out the Crocodile wallet he stole from the man. A new wallet. I didn't thought it was that easy. Just a single hit and a single dive into his pocket. Boom. His wallet is mine now. I hope it has enough money for me to stay here for one night.

Ainin entered the lobby. He went to the counter. There are two people at the counter. One woman is his late 30s named Syikin is sitting there alongside his partner Gary who is also in the 20s. Ainin approached Syikin. She is more comfortable talking to women.

"Hello." Ainin greeted.
"Yes, madam?"
"I would like a room for two please. One night stay." answered Ainin. She knows her action is convincing. Like a normal city citizen who is trying to sleep in a hotel. Not a thief who is sleeping at many hotels and places.

Ainin took a look inside the wallet. There are many credit cards. Some cards she doesn't know what to do with. There are also money in it. All of them total up to RM535.

More than enough. One night stay at Crystal Crown Hotel is only RM125 including the breakfast next morning.

As always, she is a pro at this. Checked in, gave her information, this and that. She registered using her own identity, paid using other people's work. This is not her first time doing this. She took her stuff and went to the lifts. Her room number is 215 located at the second floor.

"Hey, can I sit on the bed?"

Ainin nodded.

Fareez sat on the single bed. Man, this bed's comfy. The remote control is grabbed from the table. He turned on the TV.

Ainin opened her Milo she stole and made drinks for everyone including herself. The hot water she made is poured into four cups.

"Here. Have a drink. Sorry if I don't have any food. Just now I only managed to get this Milo." explained Ainin. Syahmi is amazed by her attitude.

"You got it? You did that again, Ainin?" asked Detective Hazim.

"Detective, look at my face. Does this face looks like a thi-"

"From where?" Detective Hazim interrupts. He already knows Ainin's attitude.

"Mid Valley.."

Detective Hazim raised his eyebrows. Syahmi looked at both of them. He doesn't understand the situation.

"Carrefour."

"Wow. That's impressive. Went to Mid Valley just to get a packet of Milo?"

"More challenging. Rather than going to a normal superstore it would be too easy. That will look like me being to desperate."

"Did the guards chased you? Any action?"

"Of course. From Carrefour all the way to the North Court entrance. Four guards cornered me. Thank god I managed to slip through." Detective Hazim and Ainin laughed.

"By the way Syahmi, this is Ainin. Long story. This Milo, he stole it from Mid Valley.

Uhuk! Uhuk!

Syahmi choked. At the same time, the cup filled with Milo is stared at. Don't know wether to keep on drinking it or not. "Stole?" Syahmi asked. Ainin raised her eyebrows. No wonder their conversation is so hard to understand. Stolen Milo, guards, action.

"Ainin, this is Syahmi. Resting on the bed is Fareez."

"Hey, Ainin!" greeted Fareez while doing a 'peace' sign.

"Oh, hey. Nice to meet you guys. So detective, why did you suddenly came here? What's so urgent?"

"Ainin, I knew you for a long time. You have a special talent."

"No worries, detective. I'm aware of that. Don't have to be so dramatic. What do you want actually?" Ainin puts a stop to Detective Hazim's sentence.

"I need a favour. I need your help for a mission. There is an underground tournament for martial arts."

"For what?"

"We are trying to catch a thief. Cobra. The only way is to join the tournament." Then Detective Hazim explained everything just like how he explained it to Syahmi and Fareez.

"Why do you want this guy so badly, detective?"

"One of them he went missing with Syahmi's father during the last tournament. So if we can find him, we might know what happened to Syahmi's father. Secondly, remember during when we first met?"

Ainin stared at the ceiling before staring back at Detective Hazim. She nodded.

"That time, I'm no longer a police because of him. Thirdly, I have some things to settle. So?" asked Detective Hazim.

"Sorry, detective.."

Syahmi and Detective Hazim made a sour face.

"...but you must use your own money to pay for the fees, okay? I'm not gonna pay for it anymore. I don't have money at all."

Everybody smiled. Laughter came out from Detective Hazim's mouth. He patted Ainin's shoulder as a sign of thanks. Hehh, Ainin. I know you have a lot of money in your bank account.

"How could I refuse your offer. Furthermore, fighting bad guys is what I do for a living."
