Unknown Market Thief [2]

Filled with fatigue, Samuel had not notice when the sun rose up high into the sky. It wasn't until noon passed that he woke up. But when he did, he quickly got dressed, grabbed some bread from the breakfast table and ran out the house. Tearing large chunks of bread and putting them into his mouth, Samuel headed towards the market at full speed.

As he approached the warehouse of Nasdaim, he saw a big crowd surrounding the storage. Wondering what happened, he stopped to ask one of the people in the crowd.

"What is going on? Samuel inquired, "Why are there so many people here?"

"There has been a robbery," the person replied, "It seems that many of the items put up for sale in the market has been stolen. Yesterday, I placed 5 pieces of leather up for sale and now they're gone without a trace. You should check up on your stuff too."

Hearing this message, Samuel was horrified. Worrying that his Zweihander might have met the same fate as the leathers, he pushed through the crowed, trying to find Lemmy. It was only after several minutes of intense pushing and shoving that Samuel managed to get through the crowd and located Lemmy with his head down.

"Lemmy! What happened? Did my sword get stolen? Did it?" asked Samuel as he prayed.

Lemmy looked up and stared at Samuel for a while. Then replied, "Sorry Samuel, it's gone."

Upon hearing this, Samuel was furious. "How could this have happened?! How could anyone have stolen from the market?!" shouted Samuel. Then looking at Lemmy, "Do you have any ideas who did this?"

"Well, all that was left is this note." Lemmy replied and handed a small piece of parchment with several words scribbled on it.

Once again, the incredible "Bug" has done what is said to be impossible!

"Who is this 'Bug'?" asked Samuel.

"Well, nobody knows." replied Lemmy, "All I know is that rumors have it that 'Bug' is a thief that goes around steal items from the most guarded places. Nobody really knows the real identity of 'Bug'."

With that, Samuel walked away from the warehouse. Holding the note in his hand, Samuel shouted out as loud as he could, "You damned market Bug! I swear I will destroy you if it's the last thing I do! I will catch you and take back my Zweihander!"
