Chapter 1 - How we met

One night I was walking home it was 10 pm, it's already dark and people are busy to get home. A call diverted my attention. It was from home. Apparently they need more money which I don't have right now. I didn't notice I stopped in front of a musician. He is more like a dirty homeless guy with overgrown beard with a guitar. His music didn't really attracted me. But still it looks like I disrupted his business by standing right in front of him so I searched for some coins on my pocket and dropped it on his guitar holder. I continued walking while talking on the phone I live close to that place. Like 5 minutes more walk after the busy street before getting to my apartment. "Shit I can't find my keys." It's not on my bag nor my pockets. "How stupid I can be." My head tells me I probably drop it somewhere. It is too late to bother my landlord he is probably sleeping by now. Besides he lives 30 minutes away from my unit. It leaves me no choise but beg my neighbor to let me stay for the night. It feels weird because I can feel a set of eyes are watching me. A dirty clothed man is hiding in the dark. I knocked even harder but nobody opened the door. The man came out already from the place he is hiding looks like he will now attack me. instead of coming closer he used the keys on his hand to open the door of my unit he has my keys. I don't know how he got it but he managed to get inside my apartment.

"Hey you! This is my place I need you out now before I call the police." I warned the homeless guy.

"It's mine now I'm the one holding the keys." He walk around the house and look for something to eat. He manage to get some bread and salami on my fridge. I started dialing the police number since I'm already so scared. "Hello police officer I need your help." I just stated my first sentense when he snatched my phone as well. He canceled my call.

"You're new here. You look foreign and you don't speak the local language." He is stating a fact I'm, not from here I'm asian. He definitely saw it on my small stature and my face plus the way I talk. "I just need something to eat I will leave soon." I let him be since I have really no choice he already has my phone. I stayed near the door so I can run easily in case he planned something bad. I felt uneasy the whole time he is inside my apartment but he kept his promise he left after finishing a sandwich and a cup of water. He gave me a smile as he go. I didn't entertain his weird gesture. I just need him gone. I locked the door the moment he left. I was really scared should be more careful now because of that experience.
