Cartio awoke on a bench. He sat up and checked himself out. Dirty clothes...worse stench than usual...no shoes...hmm...and what's this cup for? No sooner then he had mentioned it, someone dropped a few coins into his cup. Upon examination, he noticed quite a lot of change in his cup. Cartio held out his cup and examined the area. It's like some kind of cave. Just then, a subway train pulled in and people flooded off towards Cartio, towards the exit. The change started to pour in. A quarter here. A dime there. A few pennies over here. The change flow continued until one man came out of the train, approached Cartio, quickly grabbed the cup, and ran.



Cartio proceeded to follow the man. He ran up the stairs and into the street. Cartio stopped for a second, being a bit shocked by all of the tall buildings. He got control of himself and saw the man in the distance. He ran full force towards the man. He bobbed-and-weeved his way through a seemingly endless maze of people until he ran into a rather large man dressed in uniform.



The officer looked Cartio up and down.



The officer gave a last look at Cartio, chuckled a bit, and left. Unbeknownst to him, though, Cartio followed with stealth right behind him. I'm getting some money back, with or without that cup. Cartio nicked the officer's wallet and ran quickly the other way. The officer, though, heard him running, noticed his wallet was missing, and chased after him.

The two raced down the street, knocking people over left and right. They eventually ran back down into the subway. Cartio, now trapped, decided to run down through the tunnels on foot. He didn't realize, however, that the third rail carries quite an electrical current. As Cartio felt his innards burning, he also discovered that his knowledge of the subway schedule was poor as well. When the train hit him, he felt, yet again, most of the bones in his body break and pierce his already tender and toasted entrails. Of course, most of this happened in mere seconds and all faded to black once again.
