He was settling down for the night when it happened.
The weather was cold and he was swaddled in two blankets. With his warm, woollen beany pulled down tight, only his eyes could be seen. As rough sleeping spots went, this one, nestled between the two large rubbish skips and out of the wind, was one of the city’s best. The lane was fairly long, with a number of large bins running down both sides. Most of them took the waste from several eating places along the main street. At night, the lane was rarely used. Although it didn’t bother the man settling down for the night, the unpleasant odours that this caused was another reason that nightwalkers generally gave it a wide berth.
It was for this reason that he was kept from getting off to sleep by footsteps approaching. These stopped close by and two men could be heard whispering.
“Are you sure they are still in the office?” said the first.
“Positive. It’s just the boss and his two henchmen in there at the moment,” said the other.”
“OK. You can make yourself scarce,” said the first.
“Roger that,” said the other, then quickly walked back the way they’d come.
After listening to footsteps fading away, the man in the blankets snuggled down. It was only a couple of minutes later, when he was suddenly woken by three rapid gun shots. He lay awake listening to footsteps returning back down the ally. He watched as the man paused for a moment to wipe the gun, then toss it into a skip on the other side. He was about to move off when he saw two eyes peering up at him.
After a moment’s hesitation, the gunman raised a finger to his lips.
The homeless man, being something of an expert when it came to survival, slowly pulled down the blankets. With a smile, he copied the gesture. With this, a mutual understanding was implied.
The man walked on and the other went back to sleep.
