In the Dodger’s house, Oliver was introduced to Fagin. Oliver came to know that Fagin and the Dodger were pickpockets and wanted to use Oliver for their missions. Oliver refused but unfortunately got caught by the police for the crimes committed by Fagin and the Dodger.

Mr. Brownlow took him home. Oliver stayed with Mr. Brownlow for many months. He was treated like a member of the house. Oliver was very happy these days.

But Fagin and Dodger were on the lookout for Oliver. They believed that the boy had let them down. They came to know that Oliver was staying in Mr. Brownlow’s house. Oliver was kidnapped and kept in an old house.

Many months passed. Oliver was never allowed to go out. One day, Fagin, the Dodger, and another member of Fagin’s gang planned a robbery. They wanted the assistance of Oliver. Oliver was dragged along. He was forced to enter a house through a small opening in the window. Once inside the house, Oliver Twist felt giddy and knocked something down. The butler of the house saw Oliver and fired at him with a pistol, hitting Oliver in the leg. Oliver was injured. The butler saw that the thief, Oliver, was just a boy.
