Time to Scarper! Snippet from gargolye Hunt for #WeWriWa #Superheroes

Welcome to another Sunday with Weekend Writing Warriors . Here, writers in different genres showcase their stories with 8-10 sentences. Join the fun and read our snippets.
I am posting snippets from Gargoyle Hunt, Book 3 of Secret Supers.
BlurbDanger is the last thing on Estelle’s mind when she visits the University of Oxenford for a summer course. But, mysterious thefts and shadowy figures spur her into action. With Toby five thousand miles away, Estelle and her winged horse must hunt for the culprits alone. Soon they are embroiled in a mixed bag of aliens and ancient magic. Toby’s unexpected arrival throws her into turmoil and spurs events into a climax. 
Toby is in London where he has been followed. He walked into an ambush. See last week’s snippet – http://auroraspringer.blogspot.com/2017/02/what-killed-him-snippet-from-gargoyle.html Last sentence (in italics to indicate telepathic communication): “Where’s the black bird?” Toby asked Growler.
“The raven flew home. She warned me about your danger.” Standing motionless and invisible, Toby frowned at the wider road intersecting the alley. Cars trundled past; girl walked by, swinging her purse, without glancing sideways; light footsteps pattered closer. Two kids raced into the alley and halted. A boy called, “Hey, what’s going on?” A girl squeaked, “They’re dead. Let’s scram.” Toby agreed, “Time to scarper, cat.”
