Johto. Goldenrod City. Flashback.
Killian Decker
The Chase

Young and (literally) hungry, Lex would take any job that came her way without much thought. In retrospect, she should have been more careful about who she was stealing from. Money was money and she was desperate for it. Sometimes, you didn’t have a choice.

It had taken days to properly set it up. If anything, Lex was patient. She liked to do things right the first time. Perhaps that’s what was making her so successful. She still lacked the finesse of a seasoned thief but pick pocketing and small stealth jobs seemed to be her bread and butter. Although, none paid as well as she hoped for.

In the well-lit depths of the Goldenrod Tunnel, Lex sat on a bench, absent mindedly scrolling through her phone. In the dead of night, there weren’t many people that ventured through here but everyone that passed earned a casual look from the young redhead, maybe even a small smile. Curious she was out this late, this wasn’t the safest place for a young lady to be alone.

That’s why when she spotted Killian Decker’s contact she up on her feet, a much for frantic look on her face as she tilted her phone side to side. Little deception and playing off your innocence never hurt, right? That’s pretty much the only trick she had up her sleeve right now.

“Excuse me, sir!” she didn’t give the man much of an option to avoid her, “I am like, soooooo lost,” she admitted with a nervous laugh, “And like, my signal down here sucks,” she moved close enough to show the man her phone and shimmy up beside him, “I’m looking for this place: I think it’s an apartment building? I’m visit my aunt and like, I can’t get a hold of her,” there was a sense of worry in her voice and she let the man take the phone to get a closer look. His concentration on the screen made it easy to slip into his pocket and extract what she was looking for.

“Ah, yeah, that’s because it’s above this restaurant. You gotta go around the back to find the main entrance. Go back up that way and take a right,” he handed the phone back to her with a small smile, “Oh my gosh, thank you sooooo much! You’re a life saver!” Flattery and a sweet smile marked her departure as she happily hurried back down the tunnel the way he pointed with the USB tucked safely in her pocket.
