S/o Cop

Ammer polis, appe teechar, mage kaluve…
                                                               - A Tulu Proverb

It's almost half past 12 pm. I was on the road, walking towards Seth's house. He is my friend of friend. It's month of December, too cold, so I was wearing gloves, black sweater and a monkey cap. Being Batman movie fan I always loved darkness. World somehow understood light, but not darkness. It's beautiful. It helps me to conceal from the society. Though I am optimally thin, my father being cop installed immense courage within me. I'm not afraid of many things (not everything). He also taught me science of deduction, criminal case solving etc. But my moral backbone is my mother, a psychology professor. She always used to say "Do whatever you feel right, but don't do whatever you think is right". She also taught general things of psychology.

Pardon, coming back. Only things I had are my Smartphone and mother's couple of hairpins. Finally I reached Seth's house. Nobody was there inside. The house was empty and locked with a lock named KAS metals.  So I took out the hairpins out pocket and unlocked it. Slowly I peaked in. I switched on the flashlight and somehow reached the bedroom. Nothing seemed so important around. I opened his cupboard. There was a compartment with password driven locking system. That locking system was usual one in this part of the city. It's only two attempts driven. If second attempt dooms, the siren cries tynoonoo….. On the screen it was written ITS _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ LOCK (9 letters). Without thinking much, I typed KASMETALS as it was name of company of lock which was there on main door. To my shock, it failed. So if next attempt fails I'll be in prison. I looked around. Nothing, except a photo, seemed so peculiar. WWE Undertaker vs. John Cena photo in bedroom. Abnormal, isn't it? So it may be JOHNCENAS lock or Undertakers HELLSGATE or GOGOPLATA. Using my mobile uploaded it to Google images. I came to know that it's vengeance match of 2003, July 27, where Undertaker defeated John Cena. So anything related Cena can be ignored, it's evident that Seth is Undertaker fan. While keenly going through Wikipedia, I saw there were only 2 successful submission locks performed by Undertaker in that match. One was choke slam and other one was The Last Ride. So I was confirmed that it's CHOKESLAM, as Last Ride had only eight letters. I typed ITS CHOKESLAM LOCK. It opened. As usual I took 80% of the money.

After 2 days Seth, who returned from tour, told me with sunken face that his house got robbed. I suggested him to register a complaint. But he refused to do so. I knew he would refuse because that money had no documents. He is a government officer who engulfed too much money.
Of course I'm a thief, who nearly robbed 5-6 houses of people like Seth. I liked Batman movies, not Batman; I loved the agent of chaos more. Darkness helps me to hide from people of housing societies. Next, robbery from subjects like Seth…….. I always felt right about it, not only thought it is right. Because, as Tom Hiddleston said "Every villain is a hero in his own mind". Now, don't ask me what I do with that money, its Robin Hood secret.

Father is a police, mother is a teacher, but son is thief.
