I hear the twins, Liam's first and second in command, run after me. I take a leap with my right foot forward, and head east of the cold alley. A black cat blocks my way and on my attempt to escape the dark, dingy vicinity, I accidentally step on its tail. It purrs and I run faster.

"Reese!" Deo yells from the roof two houses away. "Did ye get it?" I climb the tree ajar the house and hold my empty backpack up in shame.

"Almost." I look at my fingernails marked with debris and wipe them on my shirt.

"I fucking knew it!" he sighs heavily, his Irish accent fully evident. "We should've let the new kid do it."

I drop the empty bag and leave the red roof. "Shut up, Devine. I've done more successful jobs than you could ever dream of." I hear him snicker as he spots the plastic bag filled with coke I just stole on Payne's minions' watch hanging on a low tree branch.

Ever since yesterday, all the guys have been talking about this new guy. From what I've heard, he's a college dropout who used to work with Payne. Why don't he get himself a new neighborhood to live in because he sure as hell isn't welcome in mine.
