《The Criminals》White Box
Advertisement
Alex leaves the building, he goes straight to his cousin's car who is parked in a parking lot. There he uses the car keys to unlock the doors of the car. He gets in the driver's seat, inserts the car key in the ignition, turns it clockwise, puts it in the first one until he leaves the parking lot, and when he comes out he puts it in the second one on the road, then in the third one in a few moments, and in the fourth when it starts to pick up speed.
Alex drove this cousin's car for a few moments until he reached the desired location, and there he discovered a building where his cousin told him that he had to have that white box. He parks the car in front of that building, gets out of there, and goes to get the package to be taken. He enters the building, and there he looks around and notices many interesting antiques that have good prices, exaggerated prices, or even antiques that are worth more than this building, such as the autograph of Elvis Presley in one of his posters. Alex goes to the cashier who looks at him for a long time as if he were a thief, gangster, or arms dealer, which is not possible because Alex is currently a poor pizza delivery man.
"Hello! How can I help you?" says the old man who is the cashier of this place.
"I was sent by a man to take a white box from here."
"Oh. You mean the owner of "Luigi's", right? The one who most of their workers are foreigners or the one where they sell drugs in secret?" asks the old man to Alex.
"Yes... The first one."
"Oh, God. It looks like your white box has got some problems. You see, it was taken by a man who wears purple clothes and has a cap."

"What?"
"Yeah. He said to me he was taking that package to Luigi's. I am sorry for the mistake I did."
Alex started to feel worried because of two things. The first thing is that this old and easy-going cashier gave an important box with a mysterious content to an individual who wears purple clothes, and men wear purple only if they are in a team of bowling, hockey, football, urban gangsters or horny gays coming out in the evening to catch a male prey. And the second thing that worries him is the fact that he is afraid that the person dressed in purple clothes will not be the one who was taken to the fights a few hours ago. So, Alex got to the conclusion to call his cousin to say the truth and to ask him what he will have to do.
"Yes?"
"We got some big problem. A guy who wore purple clothes has come here a took the white box." Alex says to his boss on the phone.
"What? Then go and take that package back! Who has to steal that one?!"
"It hasn't been exactly stolen. The cashier taught that package was for the other Luigi's restaurant."
"Other Luigi's restaurant?... There is just a single Luigi's in this city and that restaurant is mine. Go and take the package from him!"
"Alright. I'll try and see what I can do, boss." and he closes the telephone.
After that, Alex goes to the cashier and he asks him.
"Where is that place?"
"I-It is at Gremory Street, the Snakes Ghetto." says the cashier feeling scared because he had did a grave mistake earlier.
"Thanks!" says Alex feeling angry while he left the shop and gets in his boss's car. He turns on the car, presses the accelerator, turns on the radio on the rock music channel, and run to the place where that old cashier specified to him that the man dressed in purple was. When Alex was driving for a long time, he started to feel scared for several reasons, he took you to a place where he swore he would never return, the neighbourhoods of urban gangsters.
