We were walking around the city. We came to a pedestrian crossing. We stopped to let cars go by. Kevin looked at the map. I was looking and watching the stop light at the same time. All of a sudden.

"Look who we got here Marv!"

Kevin dropped his map and gasped. We turned around, It was two burglar looking guys. One was tall and skinny, one was short and chunky.

"Long time no see kid! You got a girlfriend with you!"

"None of your business," Kevin said.

Kevin was scared.

"You know those two strangers?" I asked.

"Not strangers to us. We met before in Chicago. Who are you girly?"

"None of your business!"

"Let's take em for a walk. What do ya say Marv?"

"Yeah Harry!"

I kicked Harry in the nuts. Kevin stepped on Marv's foot.

"Let's go!" Kevin screamed.

"You cant run from us!"

We ran as fast as we could away from them. We stopped for some reason.

"Why are we stopped!?" I asked.

"I have an idea."

Kevin got a small bag out of his backpack.

He spilled it, it was a bag of marbles. We continued to run.

"Let's go back to the hotel."

We looked back and saw Harry and Marv slip and fall.

"Yes!" Kevin said.

We ran all the way back. We saw Dad outside waiting,  just standing like he was waiting for us patiently. We got closer, he smiled like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, he was up to something, I knew that smile even after ten years.

"You gotta help us!" Kevin said out of breath.

"What's the matter? They wouldn't take your stolen credit card!"

Dad took the credit card from Kevin's pocket.

"It's not stolen Mr. Hector, his father gave it to him!" I said.

"I don't believe any of you. According to the hotel system, it's stolen!"

" Look Mr. Hector, I understand you're just doing your job. Seriously, think about this, a little boy with a stolen credit card! I've known him since he was very small. Would a cute little boy like him steal something like this!?"

He grabbed me by the arm and he searched me.

"Aha! Another credit card! Stolen! You're probably not even his nanny! Let's see what the police have to say about this."

We started running, Dad was chasing us. We were inside when we heard him shout to stop us.

"Stop those children!"

Cedric and the women were after us too. We got into the elevator. Dad, Cedric and the lady ran into each other. Dad got up and saw us.

"You little-!"

The elevator door closed. We ran to Kevin's room.

"I have an idea!" Kevin said.

He turned the TV on and did his thing. Dad and the rest of them ran in.

He played an old movie possible from the thirties.

"Hold it right there!"

"This is the concierge sir!"

"I knew it was you, I could smell you getting off the elevator!"

Dad smelled himself, that was funny. It went on saying who he was "smoochin" with.

"I'm terribly sorry sir but I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're looking for a young man and a young lady."

"I believe ya. But my Tommy gun don't! Get on your knees and tell me ya love me!"

I heard them get down on their knees

"I love you!"

"You gotta do better than that!"

"I love you!" They all said.

"Good. I'm gonna let you go."

They sighed in relief.

"I'm gonna give ya till the count of ten to get your carcus off my property!"

They started running.

"One, two, ten!"

The gunshots from the TV were firing.

"Everybody stay in your rooms! There's a crazy person with a gun!" I heard Dad say.

We ran out. They were crawling. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Merry Christmas ya filthy animal!" Kevin lip synced.

We walked away but Kevin returned to say one more thing.

"And a Happy New Year!"

We ran out of the hotel.
