He continued walking down the New York alley it had always been relaxing for him and it had became a habit sort of . August had always been great at hearing and surprisingly he could almost hear someones muffled screams in the distance

August stopped he began to walk back ain the direction he came from and he came to aholt.He peeked just at the edge of a building in asecluded area there was a woman walking but something just seemed off like those times where he would feel like something is gonna happen but he doesn't know just what

So he decided to follow the woman and she would not be suspicious of him much he was wearing his brown coatand ablack hat even if she were to be suspicious the hat was covering his face only his mouth was visible " I might be 55 but I still got it" August said to himself under his black sunhat

The woman took a turn and August followed her untill she turned .She began to San the area with her eyes and August changed the direction of his gaze and his posture changed ABIT so that she wouldn't be suspicious.The woman which August was following was wearing ablack dress and a black coat with ginger hair it was a bit chilly that day

August remained in the same position fearing that he might get caught.The woman who seemed to be 25 or so entered the big skyscraper and August let out a sigh of relief usually his instincts were never wrong but this time maybe they were because nothing had happened plus he had retired why was he stressing self out after all.

As he was about to leave a black van stopped at the entrance of the building and Aman in ablue suit came out .He was very light skinned black hair and sunshades he entered the building as he began to fix his buttons in a moment of show off.
