As Scipio snuck past Fondamenta Bollani, 224, the residence of Prosdicimi's (Pros-dach-mi), a shadow followed him hiding in the alleys. The figure wore black so it was hard to see them.
This figure was a girl, she had beautiful brown eyes and brown hair with natural blonde highlights. Her name was Angela Prosdicimi, Scipio's neighbor. She suspected that Scipio snuck out at night so she decided on a stakeout to follow him.
She followed him through bridges and alleys, past houses and stores, past hotels and restaurants. Until they finally reached an abandoned cinema. She recognized which theater it was.

"What are you doing here Angela?" Scipio asked.
"Well let's see, I keep on hearing you sneak out during night time so I arranged a stake out by my self and followed you here." Angela said in a tone like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Scip who is the pretty girl?" The five year old boy asked while tugging onto Scipio's coat.
"Yeah Thief Lord? Who is this girl?" The guy with the spiky mussed hair asked.
'Thief Lord? Ha this is going to be fun!' Angela thought.

"W-w-well…" Scipio stuttered and he……
