"Aye and yer hand just accidentally slipped into me pocket," Tobias snapped in an impatient tone. "Don't lie to me, kid, or ye'll be in more trouble." He ignored the other kid and the gesture, focusing on this one and trying to estimate his age. Twelve? Thirteen? Couldn't be older than that, judging from the voice and the delicate face, which meant that this was a case for the parents, rather than the police, if Tobias could help it. "What do ye think yer parents will say when they hear ye're stealin', eh? Or did they put ye up to it?" Which would mean it was a case for the police after all.
