Puddles and Puzzles
A dark haired boy watches as a violet haired girl is led by the hand by a child no older than six, laughing to himself as she's led straight into a puddle of dirty rainwater. Her reaction surprises him though; she simply smiles, picking up the child and spinning him around in mock punishmnt, earning delighted giggles from the little one.
A couple of her friends are behind, walking alongside three other young children, the oldest probably around twelve or so. One of the teens, a big guy, shaved head and sporting some fresh Nike kicks, is making a big fuss about keeping away from the puddles littering the sidewalk. The other, a cute red headed and slender girl, stops for a moment, crouching a little to allow a little girl with braids to ride piggy-back.
It was an odd sight to see. Like some sort of cute dysfunctional family on a field trip.
He looks back to the violet haired girl to find her looking back at him.
His heart stops dead.
How did she know? How did she see him?
He quickly looks around him, scanning the area to see if there is anyone else she could possibly be looking at.
No one in sight.
He's sure he can see the slightest of smirks cross her lips.
And then it's gone; she's now talking to the child, acting as though she didn't see anything.
He can hear their voices now.
They're close enough now that he can see that the violet haired girl's companion is not in the best of physical conditions. He's quite scrawny and has several cuts and bruises along his body. As they get nearer, he sees the same is true for whom he assumes are his siblings. They all have the same dark hair and tannish complexion. And they're all skinny and bruised.
Puzzled, the boy wants to find out more. Who are these kids? Who is this violet haired girl? What are they doing?
But just then his phone vibrates.
"Sup?" He answers quietly.
"You're late, Jason."
He sighs. "Yeah, yeah. Be right there, Jinx."
This puzzle would have to wait.
