And n-n-now y-you h-have to c-c-catch me?" I nervously say as I get up and run. I hear his foot steps behind me and I know that I have to lose him.
"Ding, dang, frick frack!" I growl as I try to lose him to no avail.
"Oh wait for what the master has in store for you," he growls and that encourages me to run faster. I look back and I can't help but smile as I see that I'm losing him. I run around the corner and hide in the nearest store. I wait until he runs by when I'm sure he's not coming back, I get out and make a run for it. I look around and let out a sigh when I don't see him. That is until I hear a shout from across the street and see him. That's when I begin running again, I've never ran so much in my life.
"GET BACK HERE!" He yells making his way towards me but the crowd is to thick for him to run through. I smile, punishment who? I run until I can't and that lands me in front of a huge clothes store. I enter and let out a light chuckle when I see that there's an escalator leading to the top floor. I get on it and travel up and then wander around, acting as if I'm looking at the clothes. I then head to the dressing rooms and am glad when I discover that I don't need to sign in or ask to get into one. I pass a clock and see the time. I decide after about ten minutes have passed, I'll make my move. I enter a stall and lock it. I get comfortable on the bench and soon I find myself falling asleep.
***
I wake up and look around realizing that I'm still in the stall. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes I get up and crack my back and slightly massage my neck from the uncomfortable nap. I exit the stall and pass the clock and gasp. I've been asleep for three hours! It's a good thing no one interrupted me and the stalls were never all taken at once. How embarrassing. I duck into the nearest rack of clothes when I see Samuel ask a lady if she's seen me, she points to the dressing room and I wait until he enters I then run. I get to the escalator and run down it, I turn and see him heading towards the escalator in my direction, his eyes pinned on me, I shiver.
"How?!" I growl as I begin to punch and scratch at him but then I become dizzy and my mind if foggy.
"Let me..." I try to finish my sentence but I can't, why am I so drowsy? We walk, well it's more like he walks, carrying me out of the bathroom and out the back. I look and see that the guy who handed me the coffee gives me a sheepish smile. That's when it hits me, the girl at the clothes shop, and now this man at the coffee shop. Mr. Gray eyes has people everywhere. "You bastard!" I whisper at the coffee man, who apologetically looks away. The last sight I see before my eyes close.
