Huff huff huff
" Find that brat, he couldn't have gotten far, find him and bring him to me NOW!" A man's voice could be heard yelling in the distance followed by dozens of footsteps running around hurriedly.
In the dark alleyway, there stood a boy. His whole body tense as he clutched the side of his abdomen. A dark liquid slowly seeped through his clothes from where his hand was holding. His breath rigid, while he desperately tried to mask his breathing as to not draw attention. His body pressed firmly against the wall, as a fury of masked men ran past the alleyway, still in search for him.
"Fuck." The boy cursed under his breath, he had no idea how he had gotten himself in such a situation. The only thing he did prior to all this was accidentally stumbling into a gang meeting, tripping over nothing and falling onto a metal rod that pierced through his abdomen, and a group of masked men on the run searching for him. Could he be any unluckier.
Rustle, clank, bam!
The boy turned around only to see a black cat staring right at him. The pile of neatly arranged trash bags that were once stacked onto the wall had now tumbled down drawing a lot of noise.
"I hear something coming from that alleyway! He's gotta be hiding there!" One of the men said.
Left with no other choice, the boy quickly hopped over the piled of fallen trash before bolting in the opposite direction of the voices. Stupid cat he thought, before disappearing into the darkness.
When the men arrived at the location of the sound, they were met with a black cat licking its paws while sitting upright in poised manner. The cat looked at the men paying little to no interest, before going back to licking its paws.
"A cat?"
"Dude, you made us run here for nothing. Now the boss is gonna kill us cuz we lost the boy."
The group of men turned to leave, not noticing the droplets of blood on the ground leading further down into the alleyway.
