The figure in black was fast, and extremely skillful. Kai did his best to keep up with them, but knew that he was about to lose them very soon. If he was to incapacitate them, he had to do it now. Without thinking any further, he cocked his pistol, took aim to the best of his ability, and fired. The sound of the gunshot rang through the deserted, dimly-lit area. The boy mentally kicked himself when he found that he had missed and let the figure get away. He had also possibly drawn unnecessary attention to himself by firing the gun. He then heard three whistles in a row, their source being the alley where he and the two grownups had left in pursuit of the mysterious spy. Seeing how there was not much left to do, he returned to the tavern area to investigate the origin of those whistles.

Peering over the tavern roof, he was relieved to see that it was Ratte who had been the one whistling, and dropped down to join her. "I couldn't stop the spy. They've gotten away with vital information about us. I... don't know where we can go now that we've been found out. I'm sorry."
