Sounds of rapid hoofsteps echoed through the alleyways of the town, resounding against the close walls. No one had any business riding through such tight quarters; of course, this particular day had not gone quite as planned, either. The residents of the mansion normally were never home this time of day. Naturally they would come back early when he had chosen to pay them a visit.
"You there! Stop! Thief!"
How very annoying, this lot; everyone knows you must say "please" if you want someone to listen to your request!
A startled cry followed by a loud crash and what sounded to be a very distressed horse rang out in unison from behind; taking a glance over his right shoulder, the man could not help but grin. These dolts hadn't a clue how to ride a horse. Moreover, they had run the pitiful creature right into a pile of crates sitting in the alley! They would never stand a chance to catch him at this rate. No one could ever catch him.
Bursting forth from the alley into the town square filled him with glee; while sneaking away was best, he had to admit that the thrill of the escape and adrenaline coursing through his veins was most exciting! Besides, now that he was rid of those lousy guards, it was going to be a free run out of--
"There he is! Get him!"
...Drat.
The words had been punctuated by a gunshot from his left, right in his blindspot. Ducking reflexively and immediately tugging on the reins, he redirected his loyal steed to the right, straight along the storefronts. The low signs would pose a problem, certainly... for them.
Bang! Bang!
"Dammit...!" His voice came out as an angry hiss; that one was far too close for comfort. Glancing briefly over his right shoulder, then ahead once more, an idea struck him. An amusing, glorious idea. These new ones were surprisingly close, and that sign... yes. It would work wonderfully. "Shei, you know what to do..."
As they approached the sign, the purple-haired hero raised his arms, grabbing hold of it, then using the force of his prior motion to turn that lovely sign post into his own gymnastics bar. This required perfect timing... hopefully it would work, lest he be in for a bullet in his behind. Swinging over the top of the bar and back down again to complete his full circle, he made certain to introduce his boots to the back of the bewildered officer just then riding underneath the sign... thus knocking him right off his horse, whom kept on going. Continuing his gymnast routine, he swung himself atop the bar and onto the ledge beside it. This last part was a mistake; the shingles were wet.
Slipping and falling flat on his back on the slanted roof, he let fly a string of curses under his breath--curses quickly interrupted by a resounding gunshot and the distinct sound of it ricocheting off a shingle far too close to his ear. Damn. This fellow had much better aim; that one had damn near invaded his personal space more that any of the others!
Scared? Psh. Never. ...Maybe a little.
"Shit shit shit shit shit...!" Turning, he scrambled up the shingles to the top of the roof which had been graced much longer with the warmth (and drying power) of the sun. Racing along the rooftops, he drew the gun resting at his left hip, lifting the headband from over his left eye with his free hand as he did so. Much as he preferred the handicap, he needed to be able to see who was shooting at him so that he could return the favor... with far more accuracy. After all, this wasn't quite the same as firing based on the naked eye... not that this lot of fools could ever know that.
Cocking the gun and pointing it as he ran, he carefully took in the scene below. Normal citizens had fled, so they were out of the way; little danger of accidentally hitting a pedestrian. The man he had knocked down earlier was disorientedly chasing after his horse. Hm. He'd thought there were more of them. Apparently it was just Mr. Sharpeye here. Mr. Sharpeye wouldn't be very effective in this chase if he couldn't raise his arm to aim properly, now, could he?
Bang!
"Aughh!" The officer cried out, gripping his shoulder and dropping his firearm.
The target had been a bit off due to the motion... luckily not too far off; it was a bit low, but still nothing deadly. Too much lower and he'd have shot the man in the lung; he was only seeking to end the chase, not a life. Returning his gun to its holster with one fluid motion and resituating the headband back over his eye in a second, he ran ahead along the rooftops, spying Shei just ahead on the other side of the buildings; he must have crossed an alley at some point. Damn. He loved that horse. Positively brilliant.
With a grin, albeit hidden by the red bandana he had raised over his face, the man jumped from the top of the roof, slid on his feet along the shingles, then jumped again at just the last minute... to land safely on his horse. Well... mostly safely. There was some rather unheroic wincing involved. Oh well. He'd live. It was preferable to a bullet. ...Maybe. ...Maybe not. That would depend on if the bullet was deadly or not and if it was one of this nasty sorts that enjoyed shattering into hundreds of itty bitty little pieces upon entering the body. Those were a bitch to get out.
Ah, yes. The escape. Right.
So off they went into the countryside, leaving the town with little other interference.

WIP STILL. REMINDERS TO SELF: Stuff. The discoverying that the book/treasure/whatever won't work for his purposes.
Perhaps the encounter with the little girl and the kitty plushie.
