*****

Jolss saw the tower ahead but just to be safe he would walk in the shadows across the street just long enough to make sure that it was safe to cross to the tower. Soon he would be back with his friends and tell them all about the day. Just slow down a bit in the shadows of the inn across the way from the tower and watch for a little while.

Garisa noticed the orphan walking in the shadows all alone and right toward her. With a silly bird on his shoulder. Years of hard living had taught Garissa that sometimes opportunity just has to be grabbed and taken as soon as you see it. Keeping back in the shadows with her face turned slightly away she watched the boy from the corner of her eye as he neared the opening of the narrow alleyway beside the inn. The child was so intent on watching the tower across the street that he did not notice the woman watching him. The boy stepped into the deeper shadows of the alley and stopped for a moment looking at the tower building across the street. In a single motion she drew her dagger and stepped off of the porch nearly on top of the boy striking him with the pommel of her dagger as she swept his now limp body into the alley ahead of her. The warrior woman quickly returned her dagger to her belt and lifted the boy up over her shoulder. The little bird that had been riding on the shoulder of the boy came right at her face screeching and clawing at her. With her now free hand she swatted at the odd little bird and felt her hand connect. The bird tumbled from the air onto the ground near the street at the front of the alley where it lay without moving. Garisa quickly carried the orphan toward the back of the alley. She could easily enough move through the alleyways of the city to get to the docks where she knew an old warehouse and a few unseemly characters.
