The Bored Immortal

“Hey! Somebody catch that thief!” Tiana shouted upon seeing her grandfather’s watch getting snatched by some thief and ran after him right away.

“Tia, don’t!” Brad was more worried about her going after some thief, which could be dangerous.

“I will get it back for you, grandpa,” Sayana said with a determined light as she sped off as well.

“Not you too!” Brad placed his hands on his head, wondering how these two girls knew no fear, going after some thief who might have a weapon with him. He immediately called up the police before things could get worse.

If only he was young, he could have run after the thief himself, but now the pain in his knees wasn’t getting any better.

He couldn’t believe he was getting senile. Otherwise, he would have seen that thief coming a mile away.

Tiana, who was the first to chase after the thief, saw him running over the escalator as she also followed him by putting all the energy she could into her legs.

She had no concrete plan on how to catch him except for grabbing him if she could manage to get near him. She knew that watch was actually an old custom watch gifted to her grandfather by her grandmother, Dina. He had never worn any other watch other than that to remember her always.

Her grandmother knew her grandfather loved exotic things, and that was the reason she custom-made it by embedding precious gems in it.

But who would have thought that there would be a thief bold enough to steal in such a huge amusement park?

Tiana was chasing the thief with a pissed-off look, but right after running over an escalator, she was panting already, unable to run as fast as before.

Her legs were feeling heavy, and her breath was getting shorter. Now she wished she should have listened to her teacher, Lucien, and not lazed around during P.E classes.

She hated her body for having poor stamina and saw the thief getting farther and farther away.

“Tia, you okay?” Sayana’s worried voice sounded from behind as she caught up to Tiana. Since she only went after them a bit late, she was confused about which direction they had gone first but managed to find them again.

“Don’t worry about me, and just get that asshole!” Tiana said hurriedly as Sayana nodded and ran after the thief after seeing that Tiana was just tired.

Tiana was relieved since she knew, unlike her, Sayana had insane stamina and also knew how to fight. She would definitely get that thief even if that thief was quite fast.

Sayana saw that the thief was already a few hundred meters away from her, running for the exit, and had to admit he was quite a fast runner.

But she wasn’t disheartened by the distance and sped forward with focused eyes. There were lots of people walking to and fro in front of her, and as they saw a young girl running at such an insane speed, they immediately jumped to the side to make way for her.

Some of them were too slow to react to step to the side, but Sayana skillfully dodged them and even jumped over empty chairs and tables to avoid hitting any people in front of her.

Some of them even started shooting videos of her chasing the thief after finding it quite fascinating that a young woman was chasing after the thief with such speed and skills.

It was not every day they saw something like this.

Within just a minute, Sayana was only a few dozen meters behind the thief, who had already run out of the amusement park and was heading for a narrow street.

The thief looked behind his back, and his eyes widened in shock to see that this young woman was still getting closer to him. He considered himself to be quite fast, and this was his first time seeing a woman gaining on him easily.

But seeing the alley to the side, he was no longer worried as he ran into the alley where three men were lying in wait. All three men were quite tall and big with unkempt beards. They had big black tattoos on their arms and even on their face, with metal piercing on their ears and brows. They were sniffing some drugs and leaning against a car as if waiting for someone.

“Hey, I got this watch worth a million bucks, at least!” The thief shouted as he threw the watch towards the three men and tried to catch his breath.

“Finally, our boy is back. This time it seems you outdid yourself, Nick,” The tallest man among them said as his eyes shone upon inspecting this exotic-looking watch.

“But we have to leave now, Jack. This girl has been chasing me ever since,” Nick said frantically as he looked behind, and just as he expected, he saw her running into the alley.

Sayana was surprised to see that the thief was not alone but was with three other men as well who seemed a bit dangerous as well.

“You idiot! Why did you lead her to us?” Jack fumed as he slapped Nick.

“It’s not my fault, guys! She was too persistent. I would have gotten caught by the police if I kept running,” Nick said as he cowered before them.

“It doesn’t matter. Now that she saw her face, she has to go!” One of the men with huge arms said with a nasty look as he took out a revolver and aimed at the young woman.

Sayana thought she could take them on but seeing one of them suddenly pull up a gun, her pulse raced, “P-Please don’t! All I want is my grandpa’s watch back. I-I…won’t report any of you to the police,” She said with her hands raised, praying that they wouldn’t shoot. She couldn’t run away now that she was being held at gunpoint. She had never felt so tense in her life before, yet she tried to keep her wits together.

“Ha, too bad you ran into us, girl. But we ain’t taking any chances,” Saying so, the man pulled the trigger.
