Michael was begging. He was a good begger. He had big eyes and a sweet face; ladies liked to give him things.

Her feet slap against the ground, dust puffing in her wake.

Danny was picking pockets. She was a good pickpocket. She had long quick fingers and a forgettable face.

Her breath comes like knives in her lungs.

She darted between people, keeping an eye on him. He stood on a stoop and held his hand out, charmingly. Then she looked away, just for a moment.

Her feet are bleeding when she falls to her knees beside him.

"Michael!"
