Das caught a glimpse of Elena crossing the street and trying to catch the thief.

'That idiot!' Das dashed across the street, paying no attention to the cars and other vehicles.

Elena almost got hit by one car while crossing the street. Das made sure to memorize the car's number.

The thief was running on the pavement, and Elena was about one meter away from him. While Das was more than three meters away from Elena.

Das increased his speed so that he could catch Elena before she caught the thief.

Das didn't do anything to the thief earlier, even though he pushed Das on the side because Das has seen a knife in the thief's hand, and he didn't want to catch attention in the middle of the day. But now, it was a different matter because Elena was involved.

'Please. Please. Please! Let me make it!' Das ran as fast as he could to catch Elena.

The thief kept running straight; the bag he was holding was now swinging back and forth. Soon, another street crossing came.

Elena tried to grab the bag, but she missed. She tried to grab the bag again and successfully grabbed it. At the same time, the thief turned around and swung his hand holding the knife at Elena.

Das grabbed Elena and pulled her close to him, then kicked the thief. Elena was still gripping the bag, so when Das kicked the theft, he let go of the bag. The thief was still pointing the knife at Elena.

If Das hadn't pulled Elena, the thief would have slit opened Elena's neck.

The thief tripped to the edge and fell on his back, but before he could even hit the ground, a truck shredded him. The last thing the thief saw was Das grinning at him widely.

"What was that sound?!" Elena questioned.

Das turned around and placed his hand on Elena's shoulders. "Nothing happened. Let's go."

"But the thief…"

"The police captured him. Let's go." Das didn't let Elena look back at the scene.

"But I have to give the bag…"

"The store is around the corner." Das didn't let go of Elena until they were away from the scene.

They reached the store, and Elena went in. Das saw her talking with the bag's owner; it was an old woman. Elena then came out with some snacks.

"Let's go," she said as she opened the packet.

Das frowned her eyes and snatched the packet from her.

Elena looked at Das and tried to take back her packet, but Das kept moving his hand in all directions and didn't let her take back the packet.

Elena gave up and opened another packet. As she was about to take a bite, Das snatched the packet.

Elena didn't try to take it back and opened the last packet, and Das took that too.

"What's the big deal?!" she roared.

"What was that?"

"What was what?"

"Why did you run after that thief?"

"Because he was a thief?"

"Why did 'you' run after him?"

Confused, Elena asked, "What?"

"Why were you trying to be a hero?"

"I wasn't."

"Then why did you run after that thief?"

Elena frowned her face. "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Listen here, don't ever try to do something like this, ever again, go it?"

"I was just trying to catch the thief because he stole the bag."

"It wasn't your bag, so why do you care?"

"What do you mean? What if he had run farther?"

"It's not 'your' job to catch the thief. The police would have done something."

"Yeah, they caught him, right?" she answered in an innocent voice.

Das face-palmed himself and let out a big sigh. "It is not 'your' duty to help people."

"If something bad happens in front of my eyes, of course, I will try to stop it."

"No need to. Don't ever do that."

Elena bit her lips and spoke, "What are you so angry about? I don't get it."

"I am not angry. I am just surprised how idiot you can be."

"..."

"Don't go around chasing thieves or helping random peoples."

"Then you are saying I should just keep watching when the crime happens?"

"Yes! What else?"

Elena glared at Das, "I didn't know you were a heartless person."

Das took a deep breath. He was making sure to keep himself in control. "Listen, that security guard would have easily chased and caught the thief, but he didn't; why? Because he was lazy. It was his job, but 'he' didn't take it seriously. So why are 'you' trying to act like a hero."

Elena sighed and walked forward. "You won't understand even if I try to explain."

"What was that? Are you trying to insult me or something?"

"It's nothing."

'Dammit. Did I screw up again?' Das tried to call Elena, but she had already walked to the end of the street.

Das quickly ran and caught up with her. "Walk slow, would you?"

Elena didn't answer anything and kept walking.

'Dammit! She is getting on my nerves.'

'Calm down, Das. If you both are angry, then you will just end up fighting.'

'And that's the last thing I want.'

"Elena, here. Take your snacks back."

"I lost my appetite. I am going home."

Das grabbed Elena's hand and pulled her back at him. "What's with that attitude?"

Elena glared at him and roared, "What's with 'your' attitude."

"You are an idiot!." He failed to calm down.

Elena's glare got intense. She opened her mouth to say something, but Das stuffed the snacks in her mouth before she could speak something.

"Shut up, and start eating."

Elena started chewing and took back all the packets from Das.

"And don't you dare ever leave me alone, or I will chase you to the end of this world and make you submit to me." Das didn't choose his words carefully before saying it, Elena's face flushed, and she almost choked after hearing it.
