Matthew looked out the window at the cars that passed below and the buildings that towered above, he sighed and took a sip of coffee. He was happy to be in the city.

(I was thinking NY if that's good with y'all)

Alexa yawned as she got out of bed. She had gotten out of bed really late this morning.

Matthew looked around the quiet house from his position on the couch, they all really slept in this morning.

(Ooo I can work with that.)
Storm stood in an alley a few streets away from the school, lighting a cigarette. She watched the cars and people pass by. "Yo Storm!" She glanced over. "Ace. Morning." "Morning to you too. Bit early for you ain't it?" She shrugged. "It's easier to get there without being noticed if you're out early." "True, true. Well, I've got work to do. I'll see ya, right?" She nodded. "Right. Bye Ace." "Bye Storm!" The young boy ran off. She threw her cigarette butt at a passing car and walked off to school, head down and headphones on just as the gates opened.

"Yeah, mom. Look, I gotta go." Allistair spoke into the phone he was balancing on his right shoulder whilst he carried his supplies. "Mhm, tell dad I'll be late for dinner." He rolled his eyes at the sounds of the New York accent that he hated. "M'kay, love you too, bye." He hung up the phone as he was eager to start painting at his 'job.'

Matthew fixed his tie and walked out the door. He planned on a 'walk' to clear his head, a good way to start the morning.

Storm walked down the sidewalk, mumbling the lyrics to the song playing on her phone when she smacked into someone. "Yo, dude, watch where you're going!" She snapped, barely looking up. She shoved past him intending to continue walking to school.

Matthew looked confused, he hadn't run into her, she was the one not paying attention. He looked back at her, she looked familiar? "Wait!"

She paused, not daring to turn around. Showing your face when you were someone like her was dangerous. "What?"

"I know you," he approached her.

Oh shit. This could be bad. She scoffed. "Yeah right. Now if you don't mind I've got somewhere to be." She stepped forward towards the school.

"I'm Neal. Neal Caffrey," He said his name at a hush as if someone would hear.

"No, no no." Allistair groaned as he walked a bit faster towards the street he was supposed to take. Construction taking place, the sign read. "Yeah like I can't see that." He mumbled under his breath. This is fine, I'll just take Main, go left on West 14th, and right on 16th. He groaned and turned back in the direction he came from.

She raised an eyebrow with a smirk. "Neal Caffery? One of the FBI's most wanted criminals? Please. If you think I'm that stupid then you need to think again. Prove it."

"Why would I lie to a stranger about being a wanted criminal?"

"Because people are stupid like that." She snorted.

"I know you're a gang leader. A normal citizen wouldn't have done this despite common stupidity… that doesn't make sense."

She smiled. "One of New York's most wanted gang leaders, to be specific. And life doesn't make sense. Now, seriously, I need to get going. Being out here like this for too long is dangerous. Stay safe honey!" She winked and walked off to school, strolling into first period a mere half hour late.

Matthew stood there for a second, he needed to find her again, contact her, his career could use a fence and the last middleman left him with less income that he started with. A gang leader? That could work.

(I could be

I'm the sicko)

(It's still the morning… so if you wanna wake up)

Matthew walked home, he had a lot to think about. He walked through the front door to the still quiet house. God they sleep late…
