Jason’s boots clapped against the cold pavement, his hands hidden within the pockets of his leather jacket. A crimson hood covered his head, shrouding his face to the general public. The lateness of the hour would explain the absence of activity on the sidewalks. He would take a few more steps before a sudden shriek would assault his ear drums.
Approaching the alley in question, a woman could be seen harassing a man. Being his usual curious self, he could overhear her talking about a certain sum of money that he owed her and her associates. It was definitely the local bookie, Charlie. She and Jason had a slight history, butting heads over a territorial dispute regarding this area of town. Jason had his methods and she had her own. Knowing this, the pair frequently feuded.
Given the circumstances, Jason knew that she wouldn’t appreciate him interrupting her little ‘session.’ With that in mind, he patiently waited for her to finish from the end of the alley way.
