The two 5'6" twins ran as fast as they could down the wet, dark, and slightly slimy alleyway. Of course Oliver was ahead of Imogen, he was the fastest of the two. Imogen followed her lightning fast brother, panting as cold water seeped through the fabric of her red high tops. Why did she have to lie? Olly had warned her about this. He did say that her tongue would get her in trouble someday, and here he was, muttering "I told you so," just loud enough for her to hear. As her thoughts troubled her the two took a sharp right and emerged from the dark alleyways into bright sunlight. Oliver shielded his blue eyes and looked upwards, searching for something that Imogen had no idea about.
"I believe we're here, Imogen," Oliver said, glancing over at his out of breath sister.
Imogen straightened up and stretched before replying, "Well, where is here, Olly?"
