GENESIS BOBOLONIUS HAD BEEN WORRIED ABOUT THE BOY WHO HAS HELPED HER. She waited in the alley he told her to.   She continued to look around, when hearing yelling followed by a grunt. She looked up, to see the boy fall out a window, and hit one of the tarps they hung just below the window. And then the second one.  He fell into a cart of fabric, then the ground.

"Are you alright?"  Genesis asked as have moved to help him up. "There are stairs, you know."

"Where's the fun in that?" He asked, as he took a hold of her hand.

She couldn't help the smile that began to tug at the corner of her lips.

"One jump ahead of the slowpokes," he sung. "One skip ahead of my doom. Next time, gonna use a nom de plume," he held his head out, grabbing into the cart that crossed them. And pulled Genesis onto it.

She gasped, almost falling before she found her balance.

"One jump ahead of the hit men. One hit ahead of the flock. I think I'll take a stroll around the block." He moved to the side, momentarily behind her, before taking her hand again and jumping off the crate. They ran down the alley.

Two woman who where speaking, gasped as they separated, pressing themselves against the wall.

"Stop, thief!" The soldiers demanded.
"Vandal!"

Genesis ran up a set of stairs.

"Abu!" The boy called out.

"Scandal!" A man called.

"Let's not be to hasty," He ran up the stairs.

A woman in a mostly yellow dress followed by a red coverage, leaned again the wall, blocking the guards. "Still, I think he'd rather tasty."

"Gotta eat to live. Gotta steal to eat," The boy held a piece of bread. "Otherwise we'd get an along."

"Wrong!" The gaurd's called out.

Aladdin moved forward, kicking the ladder they had climbed up. They screamed as they fell.  The hug turned to Princess Genesis. "Together on three."

"Together on three?" She asked back, slightly confused.

"We jump." He replied.

"We jump?" She turned her attention to him.

He smiled. "Why are you repeating everyone I say?" He gestured to the opposite side. "The pole." He climbed up the extend wood. "One, two three!" then ran and jumped to the next roof.

The guards were still yelling.

Genesis had hesitated, grabbing onto the pole, but had found it difficult to make herself move. "I'm sorry!" She called out.  "I can't do this. Oh, my-I'm gonna die." In her rambling, she hadn't noticed how the boy climbed back up he roof, to be at a closer distance with her.

"Look at me. Look at me," he says.

Genesis brought her head up.

"You can do this." He says.

"Okay," She breathed out, taking a step back, before running forward, just as the gaurd's made it to the roof. She grabbed onto the pole, it falling forward. She screamed, closing her eyes. She didn't want to see as her guess could come into contact with the corner of the house roof.

The boy caught her, her falling into his lap. "Nicely done."

"Thank you," she smiled before moving off his lap, and onto the roof.

"One jump ahead of the hoof beats. One hope ahead of the hump."  The boy sings, as he ran across the roof. "One trick ahead of disaster." He jumped over the tiny gap in between the lowered roof. "They're quick but I'm much faster." He pouted for Genesis to go ahead.

Then he heaved up a rolled up rug. "Here it goes! Better throw my hand in wish me happy land in'. All I gotta do it jump!" He had taken a rope, jumping off the building, and throwing a below, swinging through a window.

Genesis carefully poked her head out from behind the barrels. Then looking over. "Oh, dear." She breathed out.

As the monkey ran over to the edge, looking over. Then a hand clamped over the side.  And the boy poked his head out. Genesis rushed clear as he smiled. "Come on. I know somewhere we'll be safe."
