 Everyday, I could see it getting weaker and weaker. It's processes lagged. It's monitor was dim. I dusted its buttons off every single day, but a few hours later, it would just come back, as if I had never even been there. I knew it was inevitable-The ATM was dying. 
 
 `` Fear not, my son.'' ATM said. `` We knew this day was coming, ever since you were a boy. Now here is your final payment.'' The ATM spat out $ 70,000 as its screen slowly faded to black. 
 
 I could n't suppress the tears rolling down my face. I looked up to face the decrepit ATM. I had never known my parents. I've been living on the streets for as long as I can remember. When I was seven years old, I joined a local gang. They always asked me to steal from local stores because I had skinny and fast. No one suspected the baby faced seven year old, which made stealing very easy. I had a family, food, and no cares in the world. At the time, it was a good life. I thought I could do this for the rest of my life, what a foolish thought that was. One day I stepped into a grocery store name Paldi's with an empty stomach and bad judgement. As soon, as I walked in, I was greeted by employee. 
 
 `` Why, hello there, little boy! How can I-'' She froze as soon as I made eye contact with her. She said nothing more and quickly walked away. 
 
 Even as a 7 year old, I should've noticed how odd that was. But all I know was that I was hungry and the gang was hungry. My gang was full of teenage thugs, pimps and drug dealers. They were very cruel people, but they were always nice to me because I brought them food. I shuddered to think what would happen if I did n't deliver. 
 
 I was collecting my usual round of Oreos, bread rolls, apples and candy when I saw a group of employees walking following me slowly. 
 
 Again, this should of tipped me off, but when you ca n't think straight when 
 you're hungry sometimes. 
 
 I was close to the exit, completely ignoring the manager and the employees getting angrier and angrier as if their presence should have been enough to make me reconsider my actions-which it should have been. I was pushing the shopping cart out of the door to the boys outside, waiting to collect every morsel of food in that cart. 
 
 `` Alright, shorty!'' A large boy called James said happily. 
 
 `` We're gon na eat good tonight.'' Another boy called Tom yelled. 
 
 Suddenly, the boys widened their eyes at something behind me, and ran. 
 
 A large, hairy hand grabbed my shoulder and lifted me up and turned me around. I was face to face with an angry, tomato faced bald man. 
 
 `` YOU ZHINK YOU CAN STEAL FROM MOI'' The bald man thundered in a heavy French accent. I almost peed my pants, I had n't noticed the rusty pipe in his left hand. 
 
 The female employee from before approached me. `` You think you could get away this for long?'' She sneered. `` My sister warned me about you.'' 
 
 The man drew his left hand back, winding up the pipe in his wrist. `` TAKE ZHIS!'' The manager brought his left hand down with such strength, the air seemed to shift. I seriously doubted I would survive a blow like, so I screamed so loud the large man dropped his pipe. I took advantage of that-poking his eyes with my fingers. 
 
 `` AHHH! SACRE BLEU'' His hands instinctively rushed to his face, dropping me. I ran as fast as my little legs would carry me that day, but I soon realized that I was n't as fast as I thought I was. The manager quickly recovered and brought his entire gang of employees after me. And they were getting very close. 
 
 `` I'm only seven, do n't these dummy whores have anything better to do?'' I muttered to myself. Yes, I know does n't make sense. My vocabulary at that time consisted of what I learned from middle school dropouts. Anyways, I only managed to stay about four feet ahead of them. I was running out of energy, so I ran into a dark alleyway, hoping that it led to somewhere. It did n't. It was a dead end, and I was completely exhausted. I had decided to except my fate when I heard a clicking noise. I snapped my head in the direction of the noise and say a bright scarlet ATM machine. I had a logo that I did n't recognize, so I went a little closer. As I was walking, something crumpled under my feet. A hundred dollar bill! 
 
 `` I'm sure he went down this way!'' I heard a female voice say. I dropped the bill and hid next to the ATM. On my way, there were at least 20 more hundred dollar bills on the floor. 
 
 `` WHERE ARE YOU'' The manager and his gang had reached the end of alley, but I was hidden by the darkness. 
 
 The manager suddenly looked down and screamed with delight. His employees did the same. Everyone shrieked with delight and started grabbing as much as they can, but the manager yelled at them. 
 
 `` ARRETES. Give me za money. It will go to za store.'' The manager commanded. All the employees groaned and gave him all the money they collected. The manager grunted in satisfaction, and they all left. 
 
 I sighed with relief, and I heard a deep voice behind me. 
 
 `` I saved your life. You are indebted to me.'' 
 
 I whirled around and saw the ATM's screen flash to a bright white. The ATM was the one talking to me. 
 
 `` I will give you money. Money will get you power in this world. Do you want money?'' 
 
 I nodded vigorously, too stunned to speak. 
 
 `` You must never go back to that horrid band of miscreants you were with before, do you understand?'' The ATM said sharply. 
 
 I nodded again. I was n't too fund of them after James and Tom had ditched me. 
 
 `` In ten years, I will die.'' The ATM continued. `` At that time, you will be 17 years old, and a billionaire, if you follow all of my instructions.'' 
 
 `` Well, what are they?'' 
 
 `` I will start you out with 7,000'' the ATM spat out a plethora of hundred dollar bills. `` Buy an apartment near here. That is your first task. After you do that, you will be receiving $ 70,000 from me every week as payment for your tasks.'' 
 
 `` Alright.'' I began picking up the money. 
 
 The ATM made a coughing sound. `` Those boys,'' he started. `` They will come after you and try to harm you.'' Use the rest of the money to buy a submachine gun. A man sells them in this alleyway on Thursday nights-come exactly at 8 or do n't come at all.'' 
 
 I looked at the ATM in bewilderment. I was only seven, but i knew what he was implying. `` What?!?!'' I cried. 
 
 `` I do n't like it either,'' The ATM said calmly. `` But I heard them was they ran past you. They WILL hurt you if they see you again.'' 
 
 I dropped the money I was carrying and backed away. `` How do I know I can trust you?'' 
 
 `` You have no family and no friends. Do you really have many options?'' The ATM retorted. I knew he was right. I sighed and began picking up the money.'' 
 
 `` Do n't worry,'' The ATM said. `` This is only a one time thing. But you MUST stay alive for us to complete the mission, and they are a threat to your safety. Do you trust me, will you join me?'' 
 
 I stood up, and nodded at the ATM. 
 
 `` Excellent.'' The ATM purred.
