[The opportunity is too good to pass up. Hundreds of people were in the streets, waiting for the clock to strike twelve. And where there were hundreds of distracted people looking up? There were pickpockets at work.

She didn't need to pick pockets anymore, not necessarily. But she knew she needed to keep her skills sharp.

Besides, she was saving up to buy Cooper a nice watch for his birthday, and if he won the election, she was going to be looking for a proper job for the first time in her life. And that meant she'd need some extra cash. That was more than enough justification- so tonight as those hundreds watched the fireworks, Nancy was working her way through the crowd with ease.

She hadn't gone for Allison's purse, actually. She'd been about to reach for the wallet of the man just left of her, when she felt the girl bump into her. Gloved hands go up to steady her.]
Don't worry about it, love. It happens.
