Nick just as carefully watched every move she made. He closed the door after him and walked out into the strangely nice autumn day.
((Yep, see ya there. I'll start.))

((later))
Nick opened the door to the head quaters letting her go in first, and then following her in after. He walked over to a table and started looking through their profit for the day. Could have been better had she not gotten caught, stupid girl. He started counting bills, and estimating amounts on jewlery, and other valuables.

SlingShot watched him carefully as he counted out her profit. After a few moments, she sat down in a chair at the table, watching his hands sift through the things on the table. For the first time, a pang of guilt swept through her for having stolen the things. She sighed. What had she done?

After some time Nick pulled out a few dollars of what she had stolen that day and handed it to her. It was 16 dollars, no more no less. "Dere's ya cut for the day," he said, though he wasn't looking at her as he said it, he was focused on the cash still in his hands which he folded up and placed in his pocket. "Since we won't be doin' much else to day you're free to go up to your room..." he said nodding towards the stairs. "If ya even consider leavin' you might wanna speak to me about it first." He wasn't a warden, and this wasn't a jail. Some people could come and go as they pleased if they had his trust. But if they didn't come back he'd be on a rampage looking for them, and if they caused any trouble they'd be in hell, for though he was no warden, he could be the devil.

SlingShot took the money he handed her and stuffed it in her pocket without looking at him and watched him with curiosity. She hadn't thought he would even consider letting her leave. What would happen if she ran away? She sighed. No doubt about it, her would catch her. She didn't stand yet, she was thinking. Even if she managed to get away... where would she go? She'd need her old clothes... Were they still in her room?

By now, her clothes even still being in tact was doubtful. Nick had eyes all through this place that kept watch like hawks on every kid that he kept here. So running away, without him knowing about it was not only unlikly, it was near impossible. Nick looked at her, wondering why she hadn't left yet, but simply shook his head and turned away from her, towards his office.

SlingShot frowned and didn't move even as he headed out. She looked at the door. It would be so easy so just get up and leave. So easy and yet so dangerous...

A man, one of Nick's workers came down from upstairs and leaned against the back wall. He just... stood there, he didn't say anything, but stood there. He saw the girl randomly sitting in the front room, though it looked suspicious, and figured he'd keep an eye on her. Let her try something now.

SlingShot didn't see the man watching her. For a few minutes, she sat staring at the door, biting her lip. She finally nodded her head to herself, standing and heading for the door, not looking anywhere but at the door. She wanted out. Now.

"Hey," the man called from the wall as he stepped off of it and started walking towards her. "Where do ya think you're gon'?" he asked gaining on her quickly, he was walking fast.

SlingShot winced at the new voice but decided not to turn as her pace sped up until she reached the door. Her hand on the knob, she opened the door and stepped outsite, about to run off, skirts or not.

"Hey! Hey!" he said going faster to catch her before she took off. If this girl just dissappeared without Nick knowing it would be on his head, so he ran as fast as he could to get her to stop.

SlingShot took one step to run and tripped over her skirt. She tumbled down the steps in a mass of lace, cursing all the way. She smacked her head as she hit the bottom and sat up in a daze, shaking her head.

The man stopped her and grabbed hold of her arm. "I dunno who you are, but you ain't goin' anywhere without tellin' Nick first," he said angrily as he pulled her back towards the door.

SlingShot cried out as the strange man grabbed her arm, and frantically struggled for her freedom as he dragged her to the door. But she had never been strong and she knew that she couldn't get free. That didn't stop her from trying, though all she was doing was hurting her arm.
