Another Morning

*Vinnie was already awake searching for food like always. Stone was just waking up, stretching*

Vinnie: *She called out to Stone* Stone- Come look!-

*Stone just mumbled but didn't say much*

Vinnie: Ok, hear me out- *She faced Stone* There's this woman with the kid- *Stone interrupted her*

Stone: *He was stretching* Don't think of kidnapping a kid-

Vinnie: Uh- *A bit shocked* What?!- No- *She looked at Stone like he was crazy* What would we get out of that?! Anyway, she has food in her purse!- We should make Skipp snatch it- *She had a wide grin across her face as she looked back at the woman*

Stone: *He sighed* Where is he? *He slowly stood up realizing:* Wait, what happened to the food we had... Yesterday?!-

Vinnie: Shhhh- *She ignored his question* Go get Skipp, he's back on the rooftops- *She was still looking around the corner*

Skipp: I swear that kid lives up there like a bird... *He said to himself as he brushed himself off and walks to a couple of boxes and trash cans*

*Stone climbed up the boxes and trash cans eventually hopping on top of a house roof. Skipp was sitting up on a roof playing his banjo, humming to his songs. Skipp had his eyes closed enjoying the morning. Stone walked up to Skipp*

Stone: Your turn to hunt down food... *He said sitting next to Skipp*

Skipp: Stone! *He wasn't expecting to see Stone* ...Didn't we have food yesterday? *He stopped playing his banjo and looked at Stone*

Stone: That's what I asked her! she's stubborn today, she won't tell me what happened to it... *He sighed once again* She wants you to go steal food or something from someone's purse... You know she has a plan...

Skipp: Well let's go figure it out- *He stood up offering Stone a hand*

*Stone took Skipp's hand and they started walking back to the alley. Skipp jumped onto the floor while Stone took his time getting off the rooftops*

Stone: Vinnie, are they still there- *Vinnie cut him off*

Vinnie: Skipp- *She ran to Skipp and grabbed his wrist dragging him to the corner of the alleyway, ignoring Stone again* Look, that woman and her kid on the bench- *She pointed* In her purse she has some sort of meal, go grab it!- *She nudged him in the shoulder*

Skipp: Ok, I can do that... I think- *He continued to watch the two girls on the bench*

Vinnie: Don't screw up!

*Stone walked over to Vinnie not saying a word. Vinnie and Stone watched Skipp try to sneak over to the women's purse*
