Naïve

The only sound is the clattering of my heels as I make my way down the dark alley. I've been coming here for some years now and the sweaty smell and tagged walls are all too familiar.
"Hey ! What is a pretty little girl like you doing here this late ?"
The man before me is tall and has broad shoulders. He smells strongly of liquor, vodka I think. His greasy, black hair is stuck to his moist forehead. He smiles disgustingly down at me and I can already sense a fight unless I do what he wants me to.
"Answer me !" He demands in a slightly slurred voice.
" Look, I don't have time for any bullshit right now." I answer in a harsh tone before pushing past him. I don't look back afraid of the numerous possibilities of what he is doing.
I take a sharp turn to the right and hear Lulu and Mark arguing. I hurry down the narrow sidewalk still thinking about the man I encountered just minutes ago.
"Hey Jessie." Lulu jumps and gives me hug obviously relieved for a distraction from her argument.
"Hi" I return the hug
"There's someone drunk by the alley entrance he stopped me. Should we remove him from our territory?"
" Nah," Mark answers " Probably just another drunk."
" I doubt it." I answer forcefully I don't like this man he gives a bad vibe. "He was well built and looked like the person you don't mess with maybe he's a new member of the Sparrows?"
Mark stiffens and Lulu looks worried. The Sparrows are our rival gang they owe us a huge debt they lost while bailing out three of there members from prison, after a robbery.
"Lulu,Jessie get the rest of the gang if he is a Sparrow that means the rest of them aren't far behind."
