Roavenalev
The North Side
Later that day
"Pig." Killu muttered as he watched the officer drive by. He was a young adult, only 19 years old, and had spent most of his life as a transient in Karjelinn. Like many Saamo, he had grown up moving constantly, following growing seasons and other seasonal work options.
For the last year or so, he had been in Roavenalev, working in a nearby factory, or rather, he had been working. It was a fine enough job meaning it was terrible and the leadership sucked, but they didnt ask for papers or anything. He had made one too many rude comments to his manager though and was fired a few weeks ago and so it was back onto the streets.
He saw the officer drive by again. What are they looking for, anyway? he thought. While it wasn't strange to see swuad cars in this neighborhood, as crime was common, it was strange to see one circling the block.
His thoughts drifted to his parents, who had been gone for some time. His father had died in a mining accident three years ago, and his mother, driven mad by grief, followed soon after. Killu had a sister, but she was far younger than him and was somewhere else in Karjelinn, in the foster system. Killu was intended to have been in the same system, but he ran before they could place him and, as was typically the case, no one went looking for someone like him.
He frowned as he saw the squad car circle again. Frustrated, he kicked a rock just as the car pulled in front of him and it pinged off the side with a loud clang. The car stopped quickly, and Killu attempted to run before whoever was inside could catch him...
