Chapter 0 The Cursed Vase

In a dark night in America, there was a secret base of CIA under

California. The head was standing in front of the glass window,

watching the data on the huge screen at the centreof the glass.

Everything was fine until a notice appeared on it.

A agent ran toward the head “Sir! A ancient vase is newly discovered

in Eypgt by archaeologist Dr. Henry kept in the museum. Our spy in a

criminal organization in middle East found that they were planning to

to steal the vase. He heard that there is a unmeasurable magic power

in the vase. If they make use of the power to fight, the world will be

in a unprecedented disaster! What should we do?” he said.

The head was shocked, then he remained slient, seeking for solution

in his brain. After a while, he sighed “ it is a tought problem. Dr.

Henry must see the vase as his own property. We cannot let our agent

to get the vase from him since he won’t lend it to us easily. We might

need other people to help us to do this job, but I don’t know we

should choose who, hmm,” he felt frustrated.

“I have heard about a thief in this city. He only robs the rich and the

money is always found from the poor after it. He skills for robbing is

agile. We can hire him to do this job but no one had seen him before,”

the agent reported.

The head held his cup of coffee and take a small sip. “He might be a

good choice,” he thought.

Chapter 1 Robbing

In the same night, In California downtown, a shadow flew across the

street silently but no one noticed it because they are sleeping. The

shadow finally stopped in front of a house. This is the house of a rich

merchant called Ken. The shadow jumped over the wall easily and ran

through garden straight. He opened the door lock fast and quiet. When

he stepped inside the house, he saw plenty of precious decoration. “It

must be very valuable.” he thought. Sadly, these decorations were too

huge in size so he cannot rob it away easily. He picked some small but

valuable things in his pockets.

Jeff had one last thing to do in this house --- he pushed the door of the

bedroom slightly, then he saw a save. He twisted the lock of the save,

and put his ear next to it. The process of opening the save must be

very accurate, if he doesn’t, the alarm will turn on, but he did it

perfectly and put half of the money in his pocket and leaving the

house quickly. This mission is fast and clean. He didn’t know that he

was being under surveillance.

This thief was called Jeff, he is a normal student in daytime but a thief

in nighttime. He didn’t feel tired because he slept a lot in lessons.

Being a thief didn’t mean to be bad, he always lends his money he

had got from robbing to the poor and homeless. He enjoys it very

much. He had been a thief for more than 10 years, mastered all the

skills of robbing, his body was also very strong and agile through the

training every day. When the rich that he robbed called for police,

they could never catch Jeff because there was not any clue to

investigate. He became a legend at that time. Even his parents didn’t

know about his secret.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning and Jeff arrive his home. He changed

his clothes and jump onto the bed.

--------------------------------------------

The next morning, Jeff woke up very early, but his mum woke up

eariler. Jeff’s mum was cooking breakfast for their family. It was

Jeff’s favourite sausage and bacon. Actually he didn’t care about it at

all because he was planning his next rob in brain.

“How’s going with yours school?’’ Mum asked

“Nothing special, the lesson are still boring as before.” Jeff answered

“That’s fine, take care, ” mum said, Jeff put on his school bag and

went to school.

Jeff’s house is near his school, so he just need to go school on foot,

not transportation. On his way to school, a boy ran toward Jeff from

his back and caught him. “Please don’t scared me like this, Kash, ”

the boy smiled. He was called Kash and he was Jeff’s best friend
since they were small. “Let’s go to school together.” Jeff said. Kash

nodded.

While they are walking, Kash asked “Have you see the morning news

today? There are a rich guy who was robbed by thief again. These

cases were already been common in California. Sadly the police can’t

catch him every time. They don’t even know what he calls, so people

name him as ‘Phantom Thief’,” Jeff was shocked but he didn’t show

any emotion on his face. “Oh really? Then the Phantom Thief must be

very strong. I am scared that he will rob me once.”

“It is alright, I heard that the Phantom Thief only rob rich guys,” Kash

said. He didn’t know Jeff was just pretend to knows nothing about

that.

They arrived school on time, and the boring school day with full of

boring lessons began. Jeff and Kash didn’t like to study at all but they

had no choice.
