There was something about three-in-the-morning that just... appealed to Herb. Maybe it was the electric feeling that surrounded dawn, the promise of a new day and new adventure just waiting to begin. Maybe it was the way in which everything was still in a manner it never was during the day, people being so constantly busy and the world always in movement.
Actually, it was primarily because the last of the late-night revellers were firmly tucked up in bed or sleeping it off in a cell, and nobody was around to see him prying a security camera off its mount round the side of the antique store.
"Come on, come onnnnn," he hissed, as he levered the screwdriver in, and sucked in a breath as it slipped and cut a narrow gouge across his finger. "Oh you bastard."
He chanced a look up the alleyway, to where his brother was keeping watch.
"Oi, Ern," he whispered. "This is a hidin' to nuffin. See if you can't get through that vent will you? I'm thinking a rat might do it."
The two of them had been planning this for the better part of a fortnight, newly funded through Herb's little tangle with Roman not too long ago, which saw them both with brand-new balaclavas and black gear to match. Inside, Herb had reliably been informed by Ernie, was something that would lead them all to the fae artifact they'd been after for months now. Some sort of magical binoculars, or something like that anyway, which would allow them to see past glamours and point the way to the nearest entrance to Faerie. Not something Herb was relishing, of course, but the pay off for the risk? That was worth anything.
"And do it sharpish," he hissed, pointing at the roof. "I don't like the look o'them pigeons."
