“I’ve seen this kid before,” says Boaz. “You work at the factory don’t you?”
I nod, because I don’t trust my voice to work.
“You’d better go and fetch us a new bottle of whisky,” the Dragon says.
I look from one brother to another. “I can’t afford one,” I mumble.
“Well, then I suggest you go and steal one.”
“Hang on,” Bayu says, “I’ve got a better idea. Boaz, weren’t you saying you wanted a pair of football boots for your son’s birthday? And that kurang ajar foreman wouldn’t give you one lousy pair?”
“That’s right. He said every pair had to be accounted for, and if one went missing there would be a big problem.” Boaz replied.
“Well,” says the Dragon, “here is your solution. He can bring us the boots.”
All three brothers turn to look at me. A bead of sweat trickles down the side of my face.
“If you don’t want this little incident to cause any trouble for your family,” the Dragon says, “I suggest you accept our generous offer.”

“And what if I don’t do it?” I ask. “What if I can’t?” The Dragon takes a deep breath, and his big chest swells.
“If you don’t do it I’ll pay some street rat a few thousand rupiah to do the job and then I’ll let the foreman know who I think the thief might be.”
“Is that a yes?” the Dragon asks.
I nod.
“It’s my son’s birthday on Tuesday,” Boaz says, “so I need them before then. I don’t really care about the colour. They need to be the type with rubber soles, not studs. And don’t you dare bring me a fake pair like the ones you’re wearing, understand? I’ll be able to tell if you do. I’ve got the size written down on a piece of paper somewhere.”
He starts digging into his pockets, searching through thick wads of cash until he comes across a crumpled bit of paper.
He stands up and hands the piece of paper to me. Written in shaky handwriting is a line of letters followed by a line of numbers:

“Now,” says the Dragon, taking my football from Bayu. “Fetch!” He hurls it out of the window and I turn and run as fast as I can. The brothers’ laughter echoes after me down the stairwell. As I round the corner, Rochy gets up from the kerb and puts an arm out to stop me.
“Budi, what happened?”
“They want me to steal for them. They want a pair of boots.”
“Budi, you’re not going to do it, are you?”
“What choice do I have?”
“But if you get caught you’ll never work again! Think about what the foreman would do to you. You can’t do it! There must be another way.”
“He said if I don’t do it he’ll use somebody else and frame me. It’s no good.”
I can tell Rochy knows it’s true.
