Marissa Halsey

Beyond

We had been following her for at least twenty minutes now, with no signs of anyone noticing, let alone the girl. She seemed ordinary enough – young, slight build, nondescript features. Best of all she was alone and heading in the opposite direction of the normal day's end crowd, meaning she was from the slum district, making this even easier. Stealing from a girl who most likely had nothing began to set me on edge, but I brushed the thought aside.
