Before his partner could reply, a smaller figure dashed by. But spun on his feet as he noticed the uniform. The boy stared then his expression became an annoyed scowl.

"Another one of you lumps?! Where do they keep finding ya?!" This was a chance for him to show off how unafraid he was of the law and be seen as a dangerous but cool criminal type. The type that he'd be feared when he was just a touch older, having gotten such a reputation.

The child wiped at his cheek though it did nothing for the smear of dirt already painting his cheek. "Guess they are getting desperate for this hell hole." He pulled up his pants though they couldn't really move much as he perhaps needed to scrounge for a new pair soon since he was sure he was in line for a growth spurt any day now.

He picked up a rock, and threw it. He didn't aim at either one in particular, and a part of him didn't want to hit either since it would get him in more trouble and maybe some deep seated part didn't want to hurt people. So the rock without simply careened between the two and he'd taken off into the crowd, but glanced back to see if they'd followed. It was a really hot day, and he'd wished he'd been on the water. Maybe he'd head to the beach after he'd riled up the local police.
