Remy Lebeau walked through a crowded mall in New York, occasionally locating easy targets to pickpocket. New York had been his home for almost 6 months now, ever since he had been forced into hiding by his own people. Stop it Lebeau, He scolded himself. Dats all in de past now, you're startin' over.

Remy walked out of the mall contentedly, cash in his pocket and a cigarette in his mouth. He started towards his apartment, head down, deep in thought when, 5 minutes later, someone bumped into him.


"Watch where you're-" He stopped. In front of him was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen, though she was mostly hidden beneath a dark, hooded cloak. He brought her gloved hand to his lips.
"Excusez-moi ma chere, Remy wasn't watchin' where he was goin'"
He was surprised to see her bright emerald eyes widen in fear and felt her hand yanked out of his. The girl turned and fled.
Not willing to let her disappear without getting a name, Remy started following her. It was hard, Remy noted how she zig-zagged in and out of the crowd professionally. He watched her turn the corner and after waiting a little, he followed. There were not so many people in this street but she definitely was not there.
Where did she go? He kept walking an suddenly found himself yanked into an empty alleyway and pinned against the wall. It was the girl.
"Why are ya following me!" She asked, green eyes flashing angrily.
Remy smirked, "Remy only wanted t'get t'know you better, chere."
"Do us both a favor and leave me alone."
With that she roughly let go of him and rushed off.
