The man leads Richie towards a familiar path as they kept walking, Richie wondered what he would want from him.

Eddie woke up to the sound of birds chirping and the sunlight flooding into the room through the window. He must have forgotten to put the curtains together. He closed the blinds and got ready for the next day of meeting women who he'd like. Another day of torture.

The old man stopped near a cave. The same cave Richie got trapped in. "Err, why are we here?" He asked. "I need to get something from inside there...something important."
"Okay? What does that have to do with me?" Richie asked.
"Well, I am not able to get inside, so I need you to go inside and get it for me," The old vendor said. That would make a bit of sense, seeing as the man was a little too old.
"Uhh, okay? What is it?" Richie asked, wanting to get this over with as Ben started clinging to his back tighter.
"There's going to be a large wooden chest somewhere back there." The old man said. Richie gulped and looked towards Ben who gave him a hesitant look and then slowly walked inside the cave.
He ventured between the large boulders and the tiny rocks, looking through the cracks and crevices, going in deeper.
He lifted a large Boulder and found a shiny peddle, there were other ones just like it in a path. He followed the pebbles, getting close to something bright and shiny.
There was a bright glow of yellow right behind another rock that was pushed against the wall. He pulled on the Boulder with all his strength to get it out of the way.
And there it lay, a large wooden chest that glowed the colour of the sun. Ben started yanking on his sleeve, but he didn't react. He carefully lifted the heavy box and hastily went back over to the man.
Running around all day sure was helpful.
The man looked around the chest, not opening it though. He thanked Richie, gave him some cash, and walked away with the heavy chest, leaving Richie to wonder what was in there.
