Morris Bellamy, 12 years old, worked at Dill's Cigar factory. Lives on Cary Street with his working mother who is actually a nurse in a hospital. He lives a thug life. Bunks school and ends in smoking a packets of cigarettes with his friends and later on has a mint candy to blow of the smoke smell. No matter how hard his mother tried to control his life, Morris didn't cared. So, she gave up on Morris and left him to struggle the life problems. It became a formality for both of them to live in one house. Even though recession was on the leap of the city, no matter how much deprived they were of the food to eat, there was always a packet of cigarette with Morris. Like it was his only food, food to fill his soul. He always felt his soul empty. He was dreaming to live a life which was actually seemed impossible during the recession. Well, he hasn't going to school either. And he knew, how much he has wasted his time in this thug life, and realized it's too late to go to school and get bullied by other student because everyone were becoming zombie in the city. So Morris has left the school and started working in a Cigarette factory. Though children employment was illegal. Dill the exploited owner of the factory didn't mind and Morris had no other option. So it was a useful agreement for both of them. But before going to Cigarette factory, Morris always waits near the park. Sees it empty. Only a grandma who loves to knit early morning stays on the bench. It came into his notice that a girl always passes through that way to go to school at that time. He started recognizing her by face and thought to share some introductory words with her. She looked so pretty , but a face full of sad and tension which depicted the effect of recession on her life too. Now Morris goes to park not to take a glance at Empty Park, but to take a glance on the girl and always thought for the pickup line that would be best. His thug friends would give him good piece of advice to deal with a girl. But he didn't want anyone to let this know. Because the nervous face of girl gave Morris a curiosity to know more about her life.

One day the 'passing by girl' saw Morris and gave him a smile without stopping and continued walking towards her school. So now Morris had a chance to open up the conversation.

So, one morning, he gave the girl a waving hand and she stopped. "Hey!" He said without expecting an answer. "Hey" said the girl.

"Am Morris"

"Am Sabrina"

"You go to school?"

"Yup"

Sabrina seemed friendly. Her nervous face was now smiling a lot with each word she said. They felt comfortable talking to each other. "I will walk you to school"
"Um, Sure"
So this is how they became close friends. Every time Sabrina left his home for school, she had only one thing in her mind to meet Morris near the park. There were days when Morris waited for her and she didn't come and sometimes, Sabrina waited for her and he didn't show up. Well there reasons use to be genuine every time because they loved meeting each other and Shari themselves. Though they didn't had anything in common like Sabrina liked reading, singing, trekking, playing in drama, whereas; Morris like smoking cigarettes, running in alley just for fun, playing football in the muddy water, and obviously meeting Sabrina and spending time with her. Morris was different when he was with her. Soft and good boy. Because Morris actually found Sabrina very believing person. She believes what you want her to believe. But he also felt bad for her because this can actually cause her many problems. She's witty but only with her books, she believes people just because they are nice to her, and won't see beyond it.
They shared their life and loved to be with each other. Since they didn't had cell phones like the wealthy people had who weren't effected much by recession and could support their family. Morris and Sabrina would think about each other all the time.

There were times when Morris came at Sabrina's house after dinner and would climb to her window shill and help her to come down. They would walk hand in hand in the park and no one would know. Sometimes they would just keep quiet and enjoy each other's company. Sometimes they had to hide from the passersby who use to be their neighbor's, Morris's thug friends or a Police car.

Once when they were walking back home, Sabrina Pointed out a poster that depicted a circus show in a nearby stadium. "Wow, see this Morris"

"You like Circus?"

"Yes. I haven't seen one"

"Then we will go"

"I don't have money for tickets"

"I have. I will borrow some from my friends"

"No, I don't want to go like this. With someone's obligation"

"They are my best friends Sabrina, they would give me. That's not a big deal"

"No, Sorry, I won't go"

"Okay Fine, I have got this big packets of cigars"

"I don't smoke, Morris"

"Obviously, pretty girls don't smoke"

"Are you going to smoke the whole bunch? Are you crazy? Just because we can't go to a circus"

"I will sell them"

"Why?"

"Then we can go to circus by that money"

"Seriously! But what if Dill the owner caught you selling his cigars separately?"

"He won't"

And so....Morris took Sabrina to the Velvet Smile Circus! They had a great time. And Sabrina just saw him, the way he looked after her needs, when she was hungry, when she wished to buy a Cold drink. It was the feeling Sabrina got and realized she actually loves him!

But it's not like People would think the same and feel the same like the way we do! And this is where Sabrina misunderstood Morris! Because Morris was actually planning something else. And what he was planning was too dangerous that she could have never imagined. One day he disclosed his plan to her and it was:
"We are going to loot a wealthy rich business man"

"What?" Sabrina shouted at the top of her voice

"Shhh..." He held her hand to make her sit down and looked around.

"You have to promise me, you won't tell anyone"

"Then why are you telling me"

"Because you are special. You love me right, Right?"

"Yeah I do"

"So you have to promise me and help me too"

"Help? You want me to come with you"

"No, I want some place to hide the loot"

"Before that I want to know the plan, who's going with you and why aren't they get the place to keep the loot"

"Because your family has just got from a tragedy. Everyone in the town knows about uncle James and his accident. Everyone are pitying and sympathizing over it. Moreover, Your Dad has been admitted in hospital and Mom's at work. So I guess, your house is the best place to hide the loot and no one will ever doubt your family too"

"Okay nice plan. And how much do people get?"

"You are asking for a share?"

"Sabrina, after everything cools down. I will get my share and I will share it with you"

Sabrina knew deteriorating condition of her family and wanted to help them in anyway. Well, she had a plan to work with mafia gang but that seems to be fading away. So these will do. She was almost lost in Morris's world. Morris convinced her because it was the time of recession and everyone needs money. So all he is trying to be is Robin Hood. His plan was to loot from wealthy and give it to poor and needy people.

As soon as the place for hiding the loot was fixed. Loot has to be done by Friday of this week before Sabrina changes her mind and gets too scared. Then it will be more difficult to find the same type of girl who believes what we want her to believe and convince her for this loot again. Or the house where this thug boys were going to commit crime raises further difficulties.
