Chapter 4
The next day Caitriona decided she would have to go back and look for Aunt Linda and try to explain to her what happened. But she decided that the police would be looking for her and so she waited until the next day and spent the last of her money on a loaf of bread and an apple.
She slept in an alley again and before the sunrise she set off to Queens. She tried to stay out of sight incase the cops were still after her and approached Aunt Linda's house just as the break of dawn could be seen on the horizon. She crept along the side of the house and peeked into one of the windows in search of Aunt Linda but she saw no sign that anyone was home. The rooms looked much as they had before except broken things had been pushed into large piles throughout the house. She got frustrated and decided she would have to go inside to know for sure if she was home. She pushed open a small window and crawled through. Caitriona cautiously tip- toed through the house, even checking the bedrooms, but her search was in vain and their was no sign of Aunt Linda.
She finally returned to the window and climbed out but to her dismay she could see a few people hurrying by, and sunlight was streaming down the street.
"Damn," she muttered absentmindedly as she approached the street. She peered out carefully scanning the street for cops and was relieved when she saw none. She walked down the street waiting for the chance to find a side road and take off in a sprint but she didn't know this city and wasn't having much luck finding one.
"Hey you, goily, stop," she heard as a cop approached her from behind. She recognized his voice as the second cop from before, and ran as fast as she could. She glanced over her shoulder and was surprised that he was keeping up with her. He was more athletic than he seemed. In an effort to lose him she turned down what she thought was a street, but turned out to be an alley. She started muttering inaudible obscenities but her face brightened when she noticed the fire escape. She used her experience from when she had dashed up fire escapes in Chicago and managed to reach the top just as the cop walked into the alley.
"Comon goily I know your here. Jus' come out now and save you'self the trouble," he said breathing heavily from his run. Caitriona smirked as she peeked over the edge of the roof looking down at him. He had started kicking over crates in an attempt to destroy any hiding places.
"You'se know you'se on the wanted list and we'll be after ya. You caused quite a bit of damage and we'll catch up to ya. You'se can't expect to get away with it," he said kicking over a garbage can. When the last possible hiding place in the alley had finally been demolished, the cop looked around furiously.
"You'se won't get away with it goily, ya hear me we'll hunt you'se down like a dog," he said angrily walking out of the alley. Apparently it hadn't occurred to him that she had been able to climb the fire escape that fast.
In her mind Caitriona had been victorious and was still free, but his words haunted her. And as she hid by an air vent she knew she couldn't come back here. She didn't even know if he aunt still lived here and now the cops were searching for her. She slept there all day and woke up when it was night time. She slowly descended the fire escape and walked down the street slowly making her way back to the alley in the Bronx where she had left her bag. When she finally got there she was tired and so many thoughts bombarded her. She crawled behind the crates again, and fell into a deep sleep.

Caitriona spent the next few weeks living on the streets of the Bronx, struggling to survive. She almost starved when her loaf of bread ran out but she became desperate and took to thievery finding she could work best at night. She set out as the sun was setting and returned to the same alley to stash her loot behind a loose brick, near where her bag was hidden under some rubbish. However she was careful never to sleep in the same place and always had to find somewhere new to go before the rays of sunlight caressed the earth. Caitriona had almost become nocturnal and found she thrived in the darkness and was strangely comforted by the black of night. As time passed the once welcoming blue green of her eyes had grown a steely glint and her only contact with people was when fighting or stealing from them. She became set in her ways and closed herself off in her own little world.
Caitriona started to become paranoid that some one would follow her and discover all that she had stolen and in turn steal it from her. She didn't like having to always return to the same place to store her things. One day after she swore she saw someone following her, Caitriona packed her loot in her bag and decided to hide her things some where new each day. She unconsciously was heading southwest as she continued her routine of robbing people under the cloak of night and sleeping during the day.
please review and tell me what you think thanks
