It's late at night in LA and Laney is up to no good, as usual.

He hasn't tried hooking again since the latest disaster; first he wants to see if stealing will work any better. So he found himself a nice deserted toy store, picked the lock, and opened the cash register with a crowbar.

She yanks him back down the alley and swings him around to put him up against the wall.

"Give it back."

She eyes him through the mask for a moment, then steps back to watch him.

Oh look, he's being shadowed!

As it were.

"Hmp."

She's eying him closely, wondering whether she needs to search him--

When the pager in one of her pouches lets out one, almost silent vibration, and she straightens up abruptly.

"No," she says, distracted.

"Now leave before I do call the police."

Why is he checking up on her? This is a perfectly standard bust -- just because she knows the criminal doesn't make a difference. She's not treating him any differently, not really.

She takes a quick look at the pile of cash on the broken register, then follows Laney towards the back door.

The shadows at the mouth of the alley are very dark.

"Indulgence," says a cultured, British voice from the mouth of the alley, "leads only to further crime, bent. Have you forgotten?"

A tall man -- masked, like the girl -- materializes out of the shadows in front of Laney, blocking his exit.

Bryce tries not to wince. "No, sir."

Don't worry, Laney, it's mutual.

"The police are on the way," he informs Laney. "I suggest you make this easy and wait for them in the store."
