It was night, so it was not easy to make out the grey shape on the roof of the grocery store. Pebble looked down on the empty streets, watching some flies flying around a streetlight. She was sent to scout human settlements and report anything suspicious to her superior. Her cummunicator was sending a "nothing to report"-message in intervalls of five minutes, though. The risk of her boos noticing that cheap trick was high, but Pebble simply didn't consider this at all.
She yawned, showing her sharp teeth and her gem. It was something she picked up from the earth-dwellers, it was surprisingly relaxing.
A human walked by, and Pebble watched him closely. He seemed to be in a hurry, so Pebble followed him on the rooftops, hoping to finally have something to report. Navigating between the roofs was easy for her, even if she'd slip she'd be easily able to hold onto the wall. Moving silently wasn't that easy for her, though.
It didn't take long before the man spotted her. He seemed angry, "Hey you creep, stop following me!" he shouted up, waving his fist.
Pebble tilted her head, not answering him. Seemed she failed that one, too. "Whats up you freak? Cat gotcha tongue?" he kept shouting, then went on his way again. "I'll just keep following him, maybe humans have bad memory" Pebble thought, continuing to stalk the man, who seemed to notice it again, though. "Ey! You want trouble? You police? Come down here if you wanna fight!" he shouted again. He sure seemed very angry now, and a little scared.
Pebble didn't quite get the situation. She knew being shouted at, but that was different, this time it was just a human. "Is this something like war on earth?" Pebble pondered. "What now? Huh? You scared?" she heard him shouting, "I'm gonna knock you out, you ugly midget!".
Pebble tilted her head again, "are you... hostile?" she asked, simply not having been able to fully get the situation.
"You damn right I'm hostile! Now buzz off!" was his answer. "Oh, so he IS hostile. Sounds like war to me" Pebble thought. Without a second thought she jumped down the building, quickly kicking him in the face with all her might. He fell back, hitting his head on the ground, while Pebble quickly summoned her knife from her mouth and jumped on him.
Just a moment before she was able to bite and knife him, he quickly said "No! Don't kill me! Take everything I got! I give up!".
He took off a strange, golden device from his wrist and threw it towards her, then did the same with his wallet and his cellphone. Pebble was completely puzzled, the man wasn't just pretty weak, he also had a very weird retreat-strategy. While she was standing there, trying to understand this whole thing, he ran away.
Pebble took his stuff, then climbed back on the roof, checking out what he gave her. She was so overwhelmed with this (for her) unusual behavior that she didn't even think about reporting anything. But even if she did, she didn't care for these missions, anyway. Earth seemed to be full of surprises.
