Giordano had called Alex and said he was getting somewhere. A shop keep in the enlightened district knew Aria lived somewhere around there. He'd found some interesting things while searching for the girl. He was still searching the shops looking for the right place. He wouldn't make it back for the meal they had planned. Which was fine with Alex, she really didn't want to spend more time with her father than she had to. Nights were proving to be annoying.
Alex grabbed her coat and strolled out the door to find someplace nice to eat. She wanted to get out, and not be around if he came home too. She hadn't fully regretted calling him, but her father was always trying to be ... her father. He still thought of her as his little girl, and even more so now that Christina was gone. Vile Atharim! Alex wondered if that was the only reason she had against her half sister. If she wasn't would she have called her father? If she'd not seen the tattoo, would she have even know? Those were always thoughts that could occur when one felt guilty. Alex realized she did feel guilty about sending her father after Aria. Maybe she should have just dealt with the problem she really wanted addressed. The girl and Dane Gregory off the streets...
Alex found a diner that looked promising, She was about to go in when she saw a young boy, probably about 10 years of age, bump into a blond man. Alex saw the kid deftly put his hand the man's pocket as he ran off, the man none the wiser. Alex caught the boy's arm as he ran by. "I don't think that's yours."
Alex held out her hand for the wallet.
The boy looked up sheepishly and then handed Alex the wallet. Alex let him go and he ran off promptly. Alex would have given the boy a few dollars, but he didn't stick around, oh well.
The man who'd been the victim of the pick pocket and his companion were walking into the same diner. . She held his wallet in her hand and put her other hand on his shoulder to get his attention. "I think you dropped this."
