Tetroneaque ran as fast as his little feet could carry him. He'd just stolen a large loaf of bread from the grocery store. He didn't think anyone had noticed him take it, but he wanted to put as much distance between himself and the store as he could just in case. After running a few more blocks he finally stopped. He was in a small park with a few trees, a fountain, and a couple of benches. It wasn't much but it was a nice little place to relax outside in the city.

Tetroneaque went to one of his favorite spots in the park, climbing up a large tree and resting on one of the upper branches. He was breathing rather heavily from his run and climb, but he felt good. He pushed his mask up to rest on top of his head, revealing his huge grin. He took out the loaf of bread from it's hiding place in his robe and unwrapped it. He took a huge hunk off and chewed it up. It had a slight honey flavor to it and was very soft, practically melting in his mouth.

After swallowing the first big bite he started to laugh.

"Oh wow this bread is good! I should have taken two loaves so I wouldn't have to go back later. Oh well, maybe I'll go back after they close." He said to himself as he dangled his legs over the edge of the branch, swinging them back and forth. He munched on his sweet bread and watched people walking by down below. He needed to get some more money soon, so he looked for someone that looked wealthy that he could pickpocket.

It seemed that you weren't quite in luck, as most of the people did not look as if they could or would stand to be robbed.

It also seemed that you were not alone in observing the crowd, as a bird and cat sat on another building, spying on the crowd.

Tetroneaque devoured the rest of the bread and wiped the crumbs from his mouth and clothes.

"Hmmm, looks like nothing but a bunch of dead beats down there. Even if I stole every one of their wallets it probably wouldn't be worth my time." He said in a somewhat disappointed tone. He rose up, placing one hand on the trunk of the tree to steady himself as he stood. He slid his mask back down over his face since he was done eating. He never went anywhere without his mask. After all, it was the last thing his parents had ever bought him. They were at some world culture festival thing and he had wanted the mask the instant he saw it. Of course his parents had bought it for him, as he never really asked for much.

Then the accident on the way home...

He shook his head, he didn't want to think about that now. He needed to get his mind off that.

He jumped down to a lower branch, then another lower still, then to the ground. He landed lightly and looked around. He didn't see anyone looking in his direction, but then again no one ever seemed to watch the children as they played around and such. That's what made it so easy for him to steal things, grown ups never paid enough attention to other people's children.

He walked through the crowd. It was quite large, seeing as a subway station was letting off it's passengers and they were all coming up from below ground. He moved through the throng, casually bumping into a few people as they shoved their own way through. It was almost too easy. A ring here, a watch there, a wallet or two, he even managed to get one of those fanny pack things from some poor schmuck without gaining notice. He stuffed all the goods into his robe's many pockets and hiding spots, intending to go over his loot later.

He came out of the other side of the crowd, and so far so good. No one was shouting or yelling 'Thief!' or anything like that. Looked like another clean get away.

He casually walked away from the crowd, acting as if nothing was amiss.

A red cat bumped into you, continuing to walk without paying you much attention. If you were to pay much attention to her as she walked into an alley, all you could really say was that she looked like just another street urchin. Yet you couldn't escape the feeling that you had seen her somewhere.

The crowd behind you was starting to disperse, but it was bound to pick up again when the next train came through.

Two badgers in suits walked past you, one of them brushing against you as they headed down into the subway.

Just another normal day in the big city.




Why did it seem that your pockets were lighter?

Tetroneaque knew instantly when the cat bumped into him that something was taken from him. He kept his cool though and acted as if he didn't notice. Even though one badger brushed past him as they went into the subway, he knew that only the cat had taken something. He couldn't very well shout 'Thief' or anything, otherwise the crowd he had just gone through would check their own possessions, many of which he was still carrying.

Yet he couldn't let someone else pick his pockets! Sure it was something he had just stolen himself, but it was the principle of thing! He had a reputation to uphold as "The Phantom Fox" even if no one knew what he looked like. He casually made a small detour around the entrance to the subway, doubling back. He avoided the crowd this time, skirting the edges as it dispersed this way and that. He kept an eye on the red cat. It was easy enough to keep her in sight as her bright red fur basically yelled "Here I am!"

He kept some distance though, keeping to whatever cover he could in case she looked back. He didn't want her to spot him till he was close enough to take back what he had rightfully stolen. You just don't go around robbing other thieves! He fingered the arm cannon in the pocket he had sewn on the inside of his robe. He hoped it wouldn't come to that, he absolutely abhorred violence, but it never hurt to be prepared if she tried to pull a knife on him or something.

He continued to shadow her from a distance.

(Not bright red. More of a dirty maroon.)


Something pegs you in the back of the head as the cat turns a corner. However, if you look around, it seems that you are the only one inside the alley anymore.

"Ow!" Tetroneaque cried as he held the back of his head with both hands. It felt like someone hit him with a rock or something. He almost started to cry from the pain. He stifled that though and looked around for the cause of his sudden pain in the back of his head. He thought he saw movement on the roof of a nearby building but wasn't sure.

He did however inhale deeply, scenting the air. He knew that cat's smell from when she bumped into him. It wouldn't be easy, but he'd be able to track her by that alone if need be. He decided that would work best for now, and so he followed the faint scent of the cat.

It doesn't seem you have to go far as you exit the alley, you are forced back in by a red furred arm. "Why are you following me!? It's creeping me out!" She said, easily slamming you to the wall in your surprise.

Tetroneaque made an "Ooof!" sound as he was slammed against the wall, having the wind knocked out of him for a moment. He inhaled and then spoke angrily, while simultaneously fishing the stolen item out of her pocket.

"Well I wouldn't have to be following you if you didn't take something out of my pocket." He said in an annoyed tone, "Like this." He added slyly holding up the wallet he had stolen, then she had stolen from him before stuffing it back into his pocket.

"Now we can go about our business." He stated as if that was the end of things and pushing her away from himself.

"Hey!" She said, pushing you back into the wall. "What makes you think we'll just let you take that?" She seemed to be catching you off guard a lot, able to sneak up on you and push you into a wall...twice. That is, unless you want to admit she's stronger than you.

"Stop doing that!" Tetroneaque growled. He didn't like being manhandled in such a fashion, especially not by a girl. He quickly pulled the arm cannon out of another pocket and pressed it against the kitty's chest. "Now leave me alone." He said, giving her a chance to walk away. He didn't want to hurt anyone, but he would if she kept up. He knew it was only a matter of time till someone noticed their possessions missing, and they were still way too close to the scene of the crime for him to feel comfortable.

A rock pelted your gun hand from above and you could see a hawk holding a slingshot standing on one of the buildings.

"Give me the wallet back. It's not like you should have noticed it missing with all the stuff you lifted off that crowd and we need to eat tonight."

Tetroneaque knew what it was like to be hungry alot of the time. He didn't want others to have to feel that way if he could help it. Even though the rock had hurt his hand his grip remained strong on the arm cannon. However, he simply put it back into his pocket and when his hand came out it was holding a different wallet, one that was a bit fatter than the one the cat had tried to steal.

"Here take this and get something to eat then." He said, feeling kind of bad about the whole situation.

"Just don't steal from a fellow thief next time. It's not polite." He added with a chuckle.

"Um...ok. Thanks." The cat ran out of the alley before you could change your mind, and the bird seemed to have disappeared too.

However, it seemed that she was right. As light as that wallet was, you shouldn't have known that it was gone with as much as you had. Plus, your pockets still felt light. Maybe you thought too soon about a pair of business men.

Tetroneaque was content with what he stole. Even though someone else had jacked him as well, he was still coming out ahead. His three most precious items were still where they always were. His dad's ring, his mom's amulet, and his mask. He was annoyed at how bad the competition was getting in this city.

Can't even trust the rich crooks not to pick a little up on the side anymore. I need a change of scenery. He thought to himself with a huff.
