Prologue
His shadow moved across the empty street like an alley cat on the prowl. His cloaked head turned, hearing footsteps behind him. Silently he jumped, catching a windowsill and pulling himself up, he heard a gruff voice booming out "The thief's around here somewhere,spread out and we'll catch the blighter." As the man climbed up the building ,he looked through a window and a small boy was holding an old mans hand ,probably his grandfather."Don't worry grampa,It'll be fine".The man looked through the window for a second,hesitating,remembering his own childhood but he quickly shook those feelings away,knowing a split second could be the difference between life and death.he got to the top of the building with relative ease and,looking into his satchel he saw the glimmer of gold.He brought out the shining gold coin.He brought this to his lips and kissed the coin then placing it down on the roof he fled,a shadow amongst the night.
Chapter one: Requiescat in pace
He lined up the shot perfectly.Without even thinking he released his fingers and the arrow flew
