I silently follow Jack and I hold my breath as we go into the tavern. It's extremely exciting and scary to sneak in a place where we could be kicked out of. We can't afford to make any mistakes now, I can't afford to be the inexperienced one who will betray Jack.
I carefully watch where I'm walking, to make sure I won't bump into one of the sailors or women. I hold Jack's hand tight and whisper in his ear 'We won't get caught will we?" ..

I shrug my shoulders, because I don't know whether we will.. We made it through the risky part so I don't thinks so. But I can't promise anything either. "If anything goes wrong then just run, alright?" I tell her. I keep holding Giselle's hand tight as I pull her through the mass of people.

I nod. Just run ... that's easy.. I can do that... right?
I watch Jack as he is trying to pick out a prey. I wander how he knows what people have much money and what people don't. They all look a like and they're all here for two reasons, sex and drinks. They all need money for that but who is out for more sex and drinks then the rest ? Who do we need to rob ?

A full wallet isn't what I'm looking for though.. well it is eventually, but experience taught me that you can better rob two drunks with little money than someone who's sober (and therefore wary) with a lot of money. So I'm just looking who's most sauced and who's notice as little as possible. We come up to the bar where some men are drunkily leaning on their women, and I slip my hand into the pocket of the coat of one of the sailors. In one swift move I nick his wallet and move on, dragging Giselle along.

I grin. So it can be THAT easy ? .. I bet I can do that too.. I look around as I keep following Jack. Soon enough I am starting to see a patern. THe people who are sloshed the most, those he nicks wallets from. Which in my opinion is very smart. As Jack keeps dragging me along I can't help to try and nick a wallet myself.
My victim is a large stinky man who we just passed. He's singing to the barmaid and has apearantly all eyes on her. I grin and carefully slide my hand into his pocket, feeling the wallet already ;D

The man feels something in his pocket though, because eventhough he's sauced, he felt a hand near his pocket. He grins, first thinking it's the barmaid and he takes a hold of her wrist.. but then he realizes that's weird because she has both hands far away from him. He frowns, then his eyes widen and he looks down.
I watched closely though and as I saw that the men started to get confused I yanked Giselle away as quickly as I could, pulling her through the crowd so as the man looked down we both already disappeared. "Did you get it? "I ask when we're far from that sailor.

I gulp and then nod. Wow, that was scary. As Jack pulled me away the wallet fell down on the floor and I grabbed it quickly before running through the crowd behind Jack.
I can feel my heart beat in my throat and I have to take a few deep breaths before I feel slightly okay again. A small smile appears on my face "I got it" I say with a careful grin and I hand Jack the wallet.

I open it and turn it around, so the golden coins cling together in the hand that I keep underneath it. I toss the empty wallet on the ground and give Giselle half of the coins so we can each keep some with us. Slipping my share into the pocket of my trousers I smile "We can go and buy food no--"
Before I'm done saying that suggestion, a heavy hand clamps down on my shoulder and I feel my heart skip a beat.
"Ye li'll RAT!" The man bellows, and he turns the li'll boy in front of him around suddenly.
Oh no.. I think, recognizing the man as my father.. he can't catch me here. He can't! He never goes to a tavern this far from the docks, does he!?
"Wha' are ye doing here!?" He shouts, shaking Jack angrily, "Stealin' again, are ye!? Ungratefull li'll.." He starts to drag Jack along, towards the exit.
"I DIDNT DO NAUGHT!" I shout, trying to wrestle myself loose from his painful grin, "I didn't do it!"

My eyes widen as I watch the man grabbing Jack. I can't remember him being one of the guys we stole from. What is this ? WHO is this ?!
I follow Jack and the man and just before they reach the exit I kick the man against his leg "LET HIM GO! HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I shout as loud as I can to the big creep. I try to think of a quick reason why Jack and I could have been here...
"LET HIM GO, WE WERE JUST LOOKING FOR MY MOTHER, HE WAS HELPING ME!" I scream....

John grabs the li'll girl by the collar of her dress with his free hand, then pushes her back hard so that she falls onto the ground "SHUT UP ye li'll wench!" He snaps at her, still holding Jack firmly with the other hand.
I try to pull free again, "Let go!" his tightening grip makes tears burn in my eyes, "Let go I didn't do naught dad!" I shout.
"Stop BLOODY lying to me!" He roars, and without any warning he suddenly hits Jack in the face with the back of his hand so that the li'll boy tumbles onto the ground. "Get up!" He demands.
