He heard the clicking of heels from a way's off and judged them to be about two inches high. Not terribly difficult for walking, but not well-suited to the cobblestones. Well, he knew, she hadn't anticipated cobblestones. Because what he could also discern from the pattern of footfalls was the uncertainty in the step - the stops and starts, a tentativeness to the progress. Just one set of steps he assured himself.
Stubbing out his cigarette, he snatched his jacket from the hook. Grabbed his trusty old from the table by the door and headed down the two flights of stairs, and out into the chilly night.
The steps were clearer down here... clicking on the pavement on Brewster Alley, the close brick walls echoing their retort... He could hear her now, cursing under her breath, barely audible, the slurred dislocated monolog of the lost after closing time.
There were a number of bars up on St. Andrew Street and inevitably late at night someone would meander down this way, confused by the labyrinth of same-looking sidestreets. And very occasionally it would be a young lady... her drinks already paid for.
He wandered West on Charleston and circled back to intercept there in front of the pawn shop furthest from any of the streetlights that were still working anymore.
He stepped out, his rubber soled shoes making so so so little noise as he slipped from the shadows. He startled her he could see. He liked that. Her little rabbit heart racing.
"Are you lost Miss?"
