"And I'd agree with you, if you gave it, but you're strongly insinuating that you only loaned me that hundred bucks." Sleight said as they got to the building. He looked around and then headed to one of the basement windows. "Let's see if we can get through any of these?"

Thala looked at the windows, trying to see if any of the closed windows were at least unlocked.

Again Sleight waited until Thala was busy before secretly making portals and unlatching the lock of one of the small windows. "I found one that's open." He called her back. "Can you fit through here?"

Thala looked down, not sure why she didn't notice that window. She noted it and walked over to the window, "Yeah, but can you? I won't know what to do once I'm there." she said, looking into the window.

"Only one way to find out." Sleight said putting his feet through first and wiggling his way in until he got stuck at the chest. "I'm almost in, give me a push."

"Alright, alright. Breath out." Thala said and set up to push him in with as much leverage as possible.

Sleight breathed out and popped through the window. He gave a grown on the other side. "Ouch. Okay, I'm in, you coming?"

Thala slipped in, must like Sleight but without the getting stuck part. She almost collided with Sleight, but was able to stop just short of that, still pushing him though.

Once inside Sleight took a breath and looked around. There were only two cars in the garage and one was the minivan they were looking for. "At least Jimbo's info is always worth it." He said walking over to it and opened the back doors. Inside was only Thala's things, thrown about without her bag. "I guess it was too much to hope that they'd just leave the money in the back."

Thala immediately looked around to find her family photo, only a hope that they didn't care about it enough to hold into it.

ooc: I'm going to say it was framed, the photo I mean. The photo was still in the van, but frame broken and smashed under one of the seats. "Okay, now to sneak up into the building." Sleight said, not knowing the things in the van were hers.

Yuki ignored slower for the moment, reaching around and grabbing the broken frame from between the cushions. The carefully pulled the picture out and tossed the broken bits to the side. She then followed after Sleight, slipping the picture in her pocket.

Sleight went up some stairs to the first floor. They were lucky enough not to run into any of the robbers and he continued into the hall. "Hey look!" He eventually whispered to Thala, pointing into a room. "That's my bag." There were a few bags on the ground, including Thala's. Sleight slipped in and picked his up. "Empty." He said throwing it back to the ground.

Thala picked up her bag, also empty, and put it on.

Sleight carefully continued up to the second floor and then the third, not running into anyone. "Maybe they're all celebrating next door." He told Thala. "I just hope they didn't take all the money with them." He walked into a large room with that was obviously the robbers' living space with beds all around and clothes scattered about.

Thala looked around, "Disgusting." She said and looked around, "They might be at the restaurant."

"Now this is a surprise." Came Crook's voice behind the two and suddenly robbers filled in the room from the sides, surrounding them. "I thought this was a nice neighborhood and yet here we have two cat burglars walking around like they own the place." Sleight spun around in surprise.

Thala grabbed the strap of her bag, turning to face the voice.

"We're here because we were told this building was for rent." Sleight tried to explain. "But it seems we wondered into the wrong one by mistake. Sorry, our bad." Crook ignored Sleight. "I know you." He spoke to Thala. "Well I'll be, if it isn't Bumpkin! Seems this little doggie followed us home boys." He said and the rest of the gang laughed.

"Come on guys." She spoke up acting nervous, "You know I just got here. He said this might be a good place to stay." She followed along with Sleight's lead. She didn't know how he was in a fight and didn't want to risk one.

"Yes, an honest mistake." Sleight said. "We'll just be on our way and leave you good gentlemen to your business." "Well Bumpkin, you should have found a guide with a better sense of direction." Crook said. "That way you would have survived a little longer in our fair city." The robbers closed in around them and Sleight backed away towards the wall behind then, but not leaving Thala's side.

Thala figured negotiations were over and tightened her bag, "Can you defend yourself?" She asked, figuring they'd be fighting.

"What?" Sleight asked. "No I don't particularly class myself as a brawler, I'm more of the betting on the fight type and right now I'm putting my money on them, which they already have." The gunshot went off without either of them seeing Crook draw the gun and Sleight instinctively pushed Thala away and then fell to the ground as the bullet nicked his leg, taking out a fair bit of flesh. "I don't want you to get any ideas Bumpkin." Crook told Thala. "I don't mind cleaning the carpet, but you're going to miss the drive over to the docks."

Thala was suddenly afraid, but she didn't show it. She still held her look of determination, though the gunshot and the realization of it kept her from doing anything else stupid.

"We just want to our money back." Sleight said through gritted teeth as he sat up against the wall. "You're not going to get to keep it anyway. You stole from the Ledger and when he finds you you'll be taking a drive over to the docks." "Ha!" Crook laughed and then laughed again with all his men. As they laughed Sleight tapped Thala's leg. "Keep him talking." He whispered to her. "The Ledger's a fairy tale!" Crook laughed. "A ghost story created to protect businessmen in a town where our freedom rules."

"Is that so?" Thala continued, "Then why hide away. If your free and the cops aren't a problem, then you must be hiding from something." She continued on what Sleight was saying.

"Spoken like true naive bumpkin, Bumpkin." Crook laughed. "We're not hiding from the cops, who cares about them? But we have more than a million bucks stashed away here and there's nothing stopping others from exercising their freedom to it. Nothing but a good hideout and my trusty little friend here." He said stroking his gun. There was a pop and one of the lights in the hallway went out. Crook glanced to the entrance. Another pop and a light in one of the rooms went out. "Check it out." He told three of his men who quickly ran into the hallway.

"Guess it's one of those people exercising their freedom, if you really don't have the Ledger to worry about." She commented, not even second guessing the occurrence.

"Or maybe there's a few more bumpkins running around." Crook concentrated on Thala again. "Now how about you tell me how many of you there are or they're going to find you two missing some pieces." More lights flickered out until most of the hallway was completely dark, the only light left in the room they were standing. Sleight groaned in pain.

"If I knew people in town do you think I would have blindly walked into you this morning to be mugged? If they're not the ledger, then maybe they are your underlings come to usurp you? There is no honor among thieves after all." Thala said undaunted.
