บท 648: Thief (2)

'W-What the hell does he want?' Steve thought, confused. 'It's not like I could have hit that ball.'

However, as Ken looked down at his hands by his waist, Steve finally understood.

'He's giving me signs??' Steve's eyes lit up as he saw the sign for another slider. He turned to the pitcher, only to see the guy begin his wind-up again.

"Ball."

Sure enough, another slider was thrown, this time outside of the strike zone. Steve felt a bomb go off in his mind, 'How could he have figured out their signs already?'

Ken had only been on 2nd base for around 6 pitches so far, so it didn't make sense that he would already have deciphered their signs. Unless he was a genius of course.

Steve's mind wandered, remembering the almost perfect score on the SAT's that Ken was able to achieve. 'I guess it makes sense…' He thought.

'If I know what's coming, maybe I'll really be able to convert some runs…'
