The horses hooves on the cobblestones echoed down the dark and empty street pulling an empty carriage. The driver steadied their pace to a trot, admiring the full moon and stars. In the distance, standing under a dimly lit street lamp, was a woman of questionable character, smoking a cigarette.
Behind her, lurking in the shadows, stood a man watching. Waiting. The horses sped up. From a trot to a gallop the driver veered to the left, the carriage struck the woman in an instant.
The man stepped out of the shadows and blew his whistle.
“After her!” he shouted.
