There he was—clothed hands slid from the back of the cold wall to later enclosing them slowly. Each step led to different routes, then quickened depending on how fast the criminal ran. It’d be safe to assume he was the criminal though there’s something off about it. Until that mystery is solved, she is not content with how things are progressing.

He takes another steps back, getting closer and closer to the edge of the building.
“Tell me my lady, why do you seek the truth?“ He asked, seemingly stalling for something.
