Neon lights flashed in front of her eyes as she hung out a window overlooking a busy street several stories below. Even in the dead of the night, The City radiated life. She pulled her black hair out of her face, dried blood sticking strands of her hair together as she scanned the exterior below.

The escape was always the most thrilling part to her.

She set a steady pace down the avenue, gathering in a crowd of pedestrians at a crosswalk, disappearing into the night.
