The boy froze, silently cursing as the man looked back at him an apparently addressed him. Don't move? Did he seriously expect him to just sit there and wait for him to go get the authorities? Really, now, how stupid did this guy think he was? The minute the man started to move away, the boy was already scrambling, making his way out of the wagon. All he had to do was start running; he was confident they wouldn't be able to catch him.

Except, when he looked, there wasn't a group of authorities, or even drunkards. As the men scattered, he could see a small form lying in the road. Well, damn. Looks like they relied on mob justice around here. Wasn't that just lovely? He silently wondered if the cat-thing was still alive; he couldn't tell from this distance whether he was still breathing or not.
