Sebastian pursued the thief through the dizzy maze of alley ways. The boy, after jumping and running over obstacles at almost superhuman speeds, decided to reek havoc as he knocked over boxes and turned over vendor carts, trying to shake Sebastian, but failed to lose his pursuer, much less slow him down. People would scatter as they ran, men and wemen cursed and shouted, while children squealed as their mothers yanked them from the two's destructive path.
He must know these alley ways like the the back of his hand. Sebastian thought as the thief made a sharp turn down another dark alley, desperate to lose his pursuer the thief knocked over a tower of crates sending them tumbling down with a thunderouse crash, but this did not stop Sebastian, who easily jumped clear over the wreckage and hit the ground running. The thief cursed when he looked back to see his pursuer gaining on him, Sebastian quickly closeing the gap between them. Starting to tire, the thief slipped into an alley way between to tall brick buildings only to run into a dead end. A ten foot wall stood, looming, over the street thief, blocking his way. He could hear the pounding of his pursuer's approaching footsteps become louder. Closer. The thief was trapped and there was only one way out, and it was up and over the wall. Taking a few steps back he crouched low to the ground and jumped.
Sebastian was very surprised when the thief jumped up more than half the the wall in a single leap, and scrambled, effortlessly, over the remaining lenght to the top before flinging himself down onto the other side of the wall. After Sebastian had finished watching in awe at the thief's agility he followed; bounding over the wall in a single leap.
"Let me go !" The thief squirmed, trying to put some space between him and the knife that was pressed to his throat.
"Why would I do that ?" The thug holding the thief to the wall leaned forward and pushed down harder on the knife making scarlet blood trickle down the boys neck.
Sebastian was hiding behind some wooden crates watching the action unfold. He had lost sight of the thief for a while before finally discovering him in a abandoned warehouse with four angry, bloodthirsty thugs. The boy apparently owed them money. Sebastian would have attacked already if it wasn't for his master, Ciel, who had seen him in hot pursuit of the thief and decided to follow them. Now Ciel stood frozen in the door way of the warehouse. If he moved an inch the thugs would notice him and most likely go after him.
' I want him alive ' Ciel mouthed to Sebastian. Sebastian understood perfectly,but just as he was going to launch his attack the thief spoke.
"Hey!Look. Over there." The thief tilted his head towards Ciel, who he just had noticed, standing in the door way. All the thugs turned towards Ciel. The thug holding the thief spoke first "Who th-." He never finished. The thief had brought Ciel's stolen cane down hard on the thugs head with his freehand knocking the thug unconscious, but before the thug lost consciousness he had plunged the knife into the thief's shoulder, spraying blood. Sebastian saw his chance to attack. He was a blur of black as he disarmed and defeated the three remaining thugs. Taking one out with the butt of his own gun.
The thief groaned laying on the floor as he tried to crawl away, his shoulder limp and bleeding, as Sebastian approached him.
"Well done Sebastian." Ciel approved walking up beside him.
"But I prefered him not wounded."
"My apologies, my lord." Sebastian replied picking up exhausted, wounded thief bridal style. Ciel stood gazing over the bleeding boy.
"Now lets see what information we can out of him."
That was the last thing the boy heard before he passed out...
