"I'm going to go down stairs to get a glass of water," Anne said, getting up from the circular table full of cards and coins.
"Aight, but ya betta' hurry. We ain't gunna wait for eva' for you to play," Snipes replied, slightly tilting her chair back in style.
Anne smiled and acted as if she was going to head down stairs, but slyly took a detour to her bunk instead, where she gathered her belongings. She quickly, but quietly went down stairs and to the alleyway beside the lodging house.
There she changed to her darkest dress, hoping to maybe blend in with the shadows.
Swiftly Anne darted behind and among various things that sat along the streets. She knew full well the danger she was placing on herself at being alone at night on the barren streets. Despite all of the things that could happen she continued on her journey to Brooklyn.
