*Tap, Tap, Tap*
The sound was heard through out a dark alley.
*Tap, Tap, Tap*
The sound of shoes tapping on a floor echoed
*Tap, Tap, Tap*
The sound of a cane dragging on pavment kept repeating over and over, almost rhythmically.
*Tap, Tap-*
"Hm?"
A cluster of footsteps were heard moving down the street in front of the source of the tapping as it stopped. A feeling crept throughout the road, sounding out mischief and suspense.
Other footsteps around the cluster move away, some stumbling.
The source of the tapping moved forward as the small sound of something dragging across the pavements followed in front of it.
Eventually the cluster slowed and then halted. A woman's voice was heard in the center.
Woman:"Six of you stay out here, while the rest come with me inside. Keep a look out and stay on guard, will you?"
Responses of grumbled and complete acceptance were heard around the her as the sound of a store chime echoed through the, almost eerie street vacant of other noise.
The Source of the tapping stayed in an alley next to the building the group was in front of listening to their "conversation"
(Inside The Store)
Standing in front of the store's clerk was a green eyed woman. She had on a white coat and black pants with a grey scarf, and was tapping her cane on the ground. She smoothed down her long orange hair as she smoked her cigar.
Orange Woman:"Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Dust shop open this late at night?"
The clerk looked on in fear as the woman took a drag from the cigar she had and the henchmen in red and black behind her pulled out red weapons and pointed them at him.
Clerk:"Please! Just take my Lien and leave!"
The clerk yelled out in fear as behind him a sign showed the name of the store,
From Dust Till Dawn
Orange Woman:"Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, calm down. We're not here for your money..."
The Orange-haired woman quieted the clerk as she tilted her head to the henchmen.
Orange Woman:"Grab the Dust."
One of the henchmen brought out a suitcase as we focus on the clerk's desk as inside the glass casing there were a multitude of crystals ranging in size, shape, and color. Around the store, more of these crystal substances dubbed as Dust could be seen around the store, as dust powder in tubes alongside the walls, crystals on shelves, or inside multicolored bullets on the shelves around the store.
Henchman:"Crystals. Burn. Uncut."
Henchmen moved around the store holding strange cylinders that took the dust from the tubes alongside the walls as more grabbed crystals from the shelves.
One henchman moves to the back as he sees a small person wearing a red cloak looking at magazines, music is faintly heard around her
Henchman: "Hey, Kid! Put your hands were I can see em!"
Silence....
Henchmen: "HEY! I said hands in the air! You got a death wish or something?"
The henchmen turns the small individual around, dropping their hood, and revealing the the girl in red and black underneath.
