The jukebox in the bar was playing some old hit by Treachery, Remy could feel the beat through the wall bricks. Really the only thing that made them standout was the drummer's self-generated light show, otherwise they weren't any different from any of the mundane bands. Not that he really cared, he was just settling into the shadows, eyeing the door on the other side of the alley.

The jukebox was spewing out some C&W ballad of a guy crying over his AI truck leaving him on the side of the road some lonely night when the door he'd been waiting for swung open. Standing in the kitchen light was a guy wearing a white t-shirt, apron, and one of those stupid paper hats, with a bag of garbage at his feet. Remy ducked his head down a bit, listened as the bag was tossed into the dumpster and the plastic lid thudded down, and the light from the door vanished as it slammed shut.

He waited for a moment, then dared to glance over the lid of the bar's dumpster to see if the kitchen guy was still there, but there wasn't a sign of him.

Remy sighed, then darted over to the restaurant's dumpster, feeling his stomach growl at him as he flipped the dumpster lid open and went  digging for the new bag, searching the discarded wrappers and bioplas cups of half-melted ice for a half-eaten burger or cold fries. And he found it - a discarded burger with just a bite out of it! 

It was then the hands grabbed him, hauling him out and slamming him against the dumpster, three big guys, reeking of booze. 
"Well, lookit what I got, boys!" the man holding onto him smirked. "One of those street brats!"
"I dunno Joe," one laughed. "Kinda looks a bit scrawny, meybe you oughta throw him back."

It was too late, Remy could feel something heavy drop into his jacket pocket. 

"Throw him back?" his captor scowled. "The hell I will! Boy's gotta learn his lumps! Stealin' outta dumpsters, that's just nasty!"
"Joe, he's just a kid!" 
"So?"
