The next morning, I find myself wondering around the streets again.
It's the same for me every morning. Walk and steal in order to afford some food.
Luckily, I manage to steal a pouch of coins from a drunken man nearby as he sleeps in the doorway of a store. I make my way over to the local café.
"And I told him, if you're going to try to flirt with me, at least buy me a drink first" the youngish woman at the counter says to another as they both laugh.
"Ummm, hi?" The girl quickly stands straight "could I get a waffle?"
She looks at me, questioning why I would want a waffle at this time in the morning, before she nods and rings up my order, taking the money off me and passing me my food.
"Have a great day" she tells me
"You too- make sure you get him to buy you an expensive drink as well... shows you if they're willing to spend their coin" I say fiddling with the waffles paper as she smirks
"See, she gets it" the woman says to another as I laugh and walk out the door.
The morning Ketterdam air is still mixed with the stench of the night crawl hours before. The crisp morning air washes over me as I jump up onto a dumpster and pull myself onto the roof of the building.
I prefer to sit up high so that I can see all around. I pull out my waffle and take a bite, smiling at the deliciousness.
I do my little happy head bob as I chew the food until I slow down my movements when I hear a strange commotion.
Taking the final bite of my food, I throw the rubbish I have into the bin, off the side of the roof, and I run along the high structure until I'm standing over the commotion bellow.
"I'm telling you, there is no way we can do this" a voice i recognise says
"Well, we don't have a choice, once Kaz's mind is set on something there's no turning back" A woman's voice replies "just think of the money"
That peaks my interest as I watch the woman walk away.
Quickly, I slide myself down the wall of the building until my feet land on the ground in front of the man.
"I hear that you've got yourself in a little predicament" I say
"Hello to you too, love" he says as he removes his hand from his gun "i could have shot you"
We start walking down the street
"Don't flatter yourself, I wouldn't let that happen" I say with a smirk
"Trust me, unless you can run at the speed of light, you would've gotten hit"
"There's more then one way to skin a cat" I say referring to my gift that would've saved me "anyway, I said I hear that you've got a problem on your hands"
He stops and turns to me, raising his eyebrow
"As flattered as I am, are you stalking me, Lorelei?" He says
I laugh "oh wouldn't you like that" I say shaking my head as I start walking again and he catches up
"You need a heart render" I say
"So you are stalking me?" He says "but as a matter of fact yes, we do. You know of any?"
I think for a second
"Milana" I say "She will help us, but she doesn't work for nothing"
Jesper turns to me and smiles
"You do this, and you might gain yourself a spot on the crows"
