Caught by You

Chapter 7

Tyler's POV

The next day I was in Ace's room, finally ready for what I was going to find because I just know that there should be a clue here. The door was still close and I made sure I was alone. I looked around the around, smiling as saw the familiar scenery. It was just as it was one year ago.

Ace's room was modern yet old. The whole place was made of wood. His floor was made of expensive bamboo wood and a chandelier hung in contrast on the old style.

His wooden table glowed with his numerous 90's CD along with his books. He kept a stall where there were his favorite books in alphabetical order. I went there ran and ran my fingers on them horizontally, breathing in the scent of musk and dust.

Pinocchio

I chuckled at the old book which was the original of Disney movie. This book was bought in the 90's and it contained the real dark theme unlike the Disney movie.. It was both mine and Ace's favorite book. I opened the first page and a smile tugged at my lips.

For my Tiger Tyler

-Take care of my books, Tiger or I swear, I'll hunt your sleep just to whisper ' Did you dust my book? 'Satan is disappointed in you.'

The old man had a great sense of humor. But no worries, he never ruins my sleep since he knows he'll die twice.
Fuck, I miss this old man.

I placed the book back where it was and saw a story book for kids, the one I use when I first started to write and learn.

Huh, my little girl could make use of it, I mean she never mentioned but it was she wasn't able to learn how to read and write. She needs to read or else she might be in danger. What is shes lost and cannot call?

I shook my head before going to where U was supposed to be in the first place. The safe.

Passcode,

I typed the letters,
V a n e s s a

Wrong

What the?....

I frowned before trying every name I knew,  even the old man's favorite food and tea.

Fuck! I clenched my teeth and leaned against the wall. Who the hell did he love?
A thought came into my mind and I pull back.
I hesitated before typing,

T y l e r

Wrong

Fuck you, old man!

I was about to go away to force open this safe when I remembered the thing he said before.

You know the password. It's someone he loves the most and cherishes the unique name he gave to that person.

Unique name, huh?

I went back to the safe before typing what I think should be the password.

M y l i t t l e T y l e r

I heard a loud noise and safe loosened.

Warm air came from inside the small opening and I stood in shock, my heart already pounding on what I would found.

"Tyler you can do it my boy" Ace encouraged as I was tired. I had fucking gave up on shooting. It had been one week since I have been trying l and I haven't even hit close to the target. At first, I was forced into this lifestyle but now, I'm indept to Ace. I basically get free food, cloth and a place to live. He makes sure I'm given first aid and what did I do? Absolutely nothing

I don't want to be on anyone's mercy. I want to repay him by making him proud and work for him, prove to him that he shouldnt regret saving me.
I clenched my teeth before throwing the gun like a little kid.
