Mark wasn't working today. He had a few jobs to do that took him away from the harbour and would require a trip into town. Thankfully, no ships were due to Dock today, so the harbour would be quiet.

Mark was minding his own business. He was walking the streets he'd walked so many times without thinking. He puffed away on his pipe which was filled with the finest apple wood tobacco. He tuned out to the world and was busy in his own thoughts when a woman caught his eye.

Mark stood for a moment and gauged the woman. She looked familiar but Mark couldn't place her. So many people passed through the town it was hard to keep track of everyone. He watched for a little bit before walking over to her and speaking in a soft voice "are you OK there ma'am can I help you?"
