Lahy Sen'shuhs prowled above the Promenade from his usual catwalk. No matter how many times he watched the people below, it never ceased to amaze him that no one ever looked up. He could view what he liked without fear of being caught. Sometimes could get a sneak peak at the ladies when they wore those loose fitting outfits.

Today he had his eyes on things more lucrative. His last deal did not turn out to be as profitable as he had hoped, but then again he was dealing with a Ferenghi. Giving the large lobed cretin another chance he agreed to locate some merchandise. One of the pieces he saw walking past the merchants and heading to the lift. Now he had to follow it.

Before anyone could count to nine, Lahy was riding the top of the lift down the tube. A trip he had taken many times before and always knew to hold on tightly. The drafts were enough to whisk him away if her weren't careful.

When the motion stopped, he waited a few seconds before disembarking though the shaft and following his quarry. The woman carrying the prize had no inkling that he had his eye on her. He followed her, using the various shafts, checking back now and again to make sure she was still walking the same path. When she reached the residential ring he noted which apartment she entered and returned to the promenade. It would be later before he would attempt to break in. For now, he had his target.

Once back on the promenade, Lahy blended in with the crowd of people gathering for their nightly dinner routines. A master pick pocket, he gathered a sizable amount of valuables. Mostly Gems but some loose money as well. With his satchel full, Lahy returned to his own little corner of the station and added his latest acquisitions to his collection. He stepped back and surveyed his stash for a moment before arranging them in order of their appeal.

When he was satisfied with the layout, he laid down and took a nap. Tonight he would go back to his quarries place and add a little more to his collection.
