it was only when the match died that he flicked it from his grasp and climbed down, landing upon the railing of the steel structure that lay abandoned against the side of the building - the workmen long gone - he was quick the scurry down before heavy boots hit snow and concrete, piercing gaze now darting down the left hand side of the street as he spotted the one he had been watching.
rushing forward, he gripped a handful of the others shirt, gripping it tight as he tugged the boy back and pushed him hard up against the cold wall, bitter breath sounding in the others ear in the form of a light smirk and chatter of laughter.
    “ you shouldn’t be alone, kid “
the scent of gasoline against his skin lingered as he pulled the kid back, turning him around to face him before he shoved him back against the wall, one hand pressed against the others right shoulder with a fist full of the others shirt, the other hand pinching tightly around the others chin to keep his focus in place.
    “ there are thieves everywhere, just wondering what you got in those pockets of yours ... “
it was a small grin that seemed to grow with each second that showed he wasn’t just like any other thief, and with the dark smudge of the kohl around his eyes - one could only guess who he served.
