That night...
***
Lance prowled from shadow to shadow, behind buildings, trash bins, and lampposts, where the city lights had failed to reach. He could be walking so fashionably along the streets if the place had not warned about a neon-lit signage of 'No Trespassers'.
His knees were sore from crouching and kneeling to hide behind cameras and patrol guards. Commoners do this a lot, trespassing. Only to loot on electronic waste just a few blocks from where Lance had concealed. Well, a lot of them were caught so carelessly. However, the punishment was ten times the amount of the scrapped electronic waste. Not so lethal. If caught, he would only be penalized with a monetary value that he could pay and be recorded in the system that held the list of violators that no one would care about.
No big deal. Not even his precious image be smeared.
