The beginning

It was a dark and gloomy night in Tokyo. Hazu was running an errand for his mother. To grab medicine at the convenient store. On his way there he witnessed a robbery; the store's glass was shattered all over the wet pavement outside. As Hazu got closer to the scene he saw the store clerks on their knees, begging the robbers not to hurt them. Hazu heard the Robber yelling at them, "Shut Up!". The one who was yelling seemed to be the leader. He was wearing a black mask with poked holes for the eyes and mouth. He was also equipped with a semi-automatic rifle. One of his men who was also wearing the same mask but instead in white said "Aye man we got to go before the cops show up. "The leader nodded his head in agreement and started to grab the money. While his men looked around for any more witnesses. One of their men's eyes caught a glance of Hazu. Hazu was frozen because of how terrified he was. As soon as the robber saw Hazu, he yelled "Hey You!" while pointing his gun at him. Hazu put his hands up saying, "I won't tell the cops!" The robber who had his gun pointed at him started to put his gun down slowly.

While that was happening all the other robbers started to walk slowly towards Hazu. Meanwhile, from a safe distance, Hazu caught a glimpse of all the store clerks and customers escape safely. While their escape, the leader walked over to Hazu with his gun pointed at him with one hand holding it. He then raised his head and started to tell hazu in a deep and threatening voice," If you ever tell the cops about this, you're dead. You got that?!" Hazu nodded his head slowly and gulped with fear in his eyes. The leader started to walk away slowly. While he walked away; Hazu saw a bag loaded with money. He knew that his family was not very rich but, if he tried to stop them there would be no chance. Hazu then suddenly had a flashback of his unwell mother in the bed coughing and thinking of how bad it would be if she died. Knowing he needed the money more than anything; Hazu looked up with a face of steel and started to sneak slowly behind the leader like a lion stalking their prey and he slowly started to pull out the pocket knife his father gave to him before he died. As he started to get closer behind the leader, he quickly grabbed his arm and yanked it to the back. His weapon dropped on the floor. Hazu started to pull the blade closer to the leader's neck. Telling the leader's men to "hand over the money! Or your leader dies here." The leader's face turned into a sour lemon getting squeezed, he wanted to get out of this situation as soon as possible. He started to yell at his men to "Drop your weapons!"

All of them hesitate while dropping their weapon. One of his men hands me the bag. And starts to put his hands up in the air, while moving back slowly. As soon as Hazu got the bag of money he started to back away slowly with their leader still in his possession. Then as soon as Hazu got a couple feet away, he throws their leader to the floor and starts to dash back to his house. All that went through his mind was that he can finally rest assure. Thinking to himself, "My mother will get better!" as tears run down his cheek while he ran away from the scene
