The thief goes to her instantly, kneeling in front of her and offering the watch. She looks the same age as Crav-no more than ten or eleven-and she’s barefoot. We both whirl around to see a little girl standing there, her hair dark tangled and her dress worn through with holes. It’d be a waste of good baking otherwise.”
“I’ve met some self-righteous hypocrites in my time, but you take the cake.” “Now that introductions are out of the way, maybe you can stop the whole ‘being a criminal’ thing and return what you stole.” I land on shaky legs and see him standing there, poised in a fighting stance. I grab the pipe system grafted into the wall and pull myself up and over with the last of my strength.
My brain says he went to the next alley, but my gut tells me he’s stopped, just over the wall to my left. There are at least four paths he could’ve disappeared down. He spins away at the last second, and I stumble. I reach my fingertips out to his shoulder, so very close – He looks back only once, his dark eyes widening at how close I am. I shove all my energy left into my legs and double my speed. I can’t cut him off, but I can catch up at the very least. He takes it often-and he knows this city like it’s his limb. As I follow him, out of breath and half in stitches, I realize this is a path with a very specific pattern. The moment he sees me, life kicks up its speed, and he takes off again. But discovers something much different than she expected about the petty criminal once she catches up to him.
