Chapter 31: Alissa
Upon arriving near his shop's alleyway, familiar voices drifted through the air.
"Are you sure this was where he took you?"
"Yes, big sister." Kip's voice carried wounded pride.
"I'm not lying!"
Alissa pinched her nose softly.
"Kip, i never said you are lying..but you might be mistaken. I was just making sure."
A soft sigh followed escaping her mouth.
"Come on, let's go. He probably brought you here because it's an abandoned alleyway where no one would overhear your conversation."
Kip's ears drooped audibly in the silence that followed.
Disappointment radiated from the small cat-boy as his sister dismissed their search.
Noah quickened his pace, rounding the corner just as two figures began to exit the alleyway.
