Black boots stamped down on the pavement, carrying their owner farther and farther from the small group of pirates. "Quick enough to get away, but not fast enough to draw attention" The words echoed in her mind. Those words were joined by the sound of the bag of coins slung over her back, hung low by a drawstring, so anyone searching the heads of the crowd wouldn't see it. "HEY! WHERE IS IT?!" The shouting in the distance was her signal to start finding a way out of the crowd before they pinned her and came running. Her eyes narrowed under her hat, Forest green eyes jumping left and right to find an alley opening, or an open window. "THERE! IN THE RED FEDORA AND BLACK TRENCH, THEY'VE GOT THE CAPTAINS BAG! GET 'EM!" 'Damn.' Her eyes widened, and she grabbed the bag tighter, then darted down the street, shoving people and dodging others. With so many people's heads turning, and her constant dodging behind someone she's moved, they just barely kept track of her. She swiftly tilted her head still moving, catching site of a man running with his sword out, she looked to her left, and saw a small shop. Throwing off the cape, she lightly dropped the red fedora on top of the large straw-hat of a fisherman heading down the road. Then she ran to the open window and jumped, tucking her legs up and holding the bag to her chest. *THUMP* She rolled and crashed into a manikin holding a few necklaces, and cloth's which fell over her head. Tossing them off, she jumped up, making sure to avoid standing in front of the window. Her eyes landed on a large dresser to the back of the small room. The door knob started to turn, followed by small giggles and another woman talking. The woman both stopped laughing and looked up… the manikin had been knocked over, and some cloth's had fallen. "Those darn pigeons have been at it again Melody! Look, now they've flown in and trashed our things." "Don't worry Kim, I'm sure it was just the wind, we've had quite a breeze this week..." Ava tuned the other girls out for the moment, and tucked her foot in closer to her crouched position behind the dresser. She put her ear to the wall, listening to two men fighting outside. "…Told you, you've got the wrong guy! I don't have any bags! You pirates are all crazy, now get lost!" "Better listen to the man. You scallywags can walk around free in this town for all we care, but if I see ya' touch just one civilian, I'll shoot ya' myself!" After some more shouting, she heard an order called out, most likely for the pirates. "Tch…LET'S GO MEN! WE'LL FIND THE CAPTAIN! HE'LL MAKE THAT LAD PAY!" She smirked to herself, standing up twirling a necklace of pearls on one finger that had fallen on her earlier. Readjusting the bag on her shoulder, and tossing the necklace back on the manikin she lightly opened the door and peeked out, searching for an exit. Poking her head out, she saw a long counter filled with jewelry, and lots of circular stands with clothes standing around the store. Seeing no-one around, she darted over to behind the desk. She peeked out, then quickly jerked back and pressed herself against the counter under the top rim. A woman walked by, holding a mountain of dresses, without noticing anything. Ava quickly darted to a dress stand, then another, and some more until she was just one stand from the door. Ducking and running to the last one, she saw s pair of shoes walking out from around it, so she jumped inside the rack. Moving her left foot back, she accidently kicked a small sewing needle ball, which rolled to another dress on a rack far away, with some bells attached, and they chimed loudly. Both women turned to the noise, the one next to Ava speaking mere inches away from her '"Melody...what was that?" "I don't know, I didn't see anyone come in earlier..." As they walked closer to the dress on the other end of the store they heard the bell on the door chime, and saw it slowly closing. Everything was silent for a few moments as they just stared at it….. "Those damn pigeons!"
