L'kki stood in an alley was, hidden by shadows, he observed the manouvers of
the dragon riders with a glint of amusement in his eye.
"They stick out like sore thumbs." said the shadowy figure next to him.
L'kki glanced at his old 'partner in crime' and nodded in agreement.
"To you and me yes, but they should fool anyone else." agreed L'kki.
"Just like old times mate." said Cats Eyes, it was a nickname L'kki had
given him years ago after the theif had spotted a partol of night watch men
in near pitch blackness. "Though I don't ever remember casing a joint to
PREVENT a robbery!"
"Ironic isn't it?"
"I don't know about that, uncomfortable would be closer." said Cats Eyes.
"Sssh Magpie tells me that the dragon wings are on their way."
The pair of theives or rather the theif and the ex-theif shuffled back
deeper into the shadows hidden from above by an old ricketty balcony.
"I can't believe the dolts expect to get away with holding the lords
daughter to ransom." said Cats Eyes spitting on the dirty, filth strewn
cobbles
"If they get away with it there will be witch hunts and a heavy crack down
on your proffesion." said L'kki.
"Why do you think we agreed to help?" smiled Cats Eyes.
Their conversation was interupted by a commosion coming from inside the
bank.
"Trouble." said L'kki.
"Thats what you get with amatures."
"Do you mean the warren folk or the robbers?" asked L'kki.
"To close to call." laughed Cats Eyes.
"Is everything in place?" asked L'kki.
"Yeah, the diversion is set up incase the kidnappers try a run for it."
"Good we don't want the watch or warren folk to catch them. The runners are
ready."
"Yeah the kidnappers will be trailed to where ever their hide out is. We're
the first runners." said Cats Eyes. He shifted from leg to leg and checked
his weapons numerous daggers, and a stout wooden cudgel.
The dragon riders looked ready to interfere with the commotion from inside
the bank. L'kki put his fingers in his mouth ready to set his men in motion.
He couldn't help but think of how this was going to piss Ja'ks off. After
all this desception had been the warren ladys idea!
