As I walked down the cold, bleak  alleyway, I heard footsteps. Pounding, thundering footsteps like someone running. I hid behind a huge trash container with boxes around it in thinking it was some hoodrats and hoping I wouldn't get jacked or beat up again. But instead of the big muscular figures in wife beaters and tattoos I saw a small hooded figure running. And soon after, a large muscular man in what looked to be a suit. The smaller figure was running from the man and thought it would be a good idea to hide exactly where I was. The figure soon realized there was someone else here with them and silently cursed. The figure turned to me and whispered "shh.. if you want to leave here alive I advise you to be extremely quiet and crouch down closer... ". And that's when I realized the figure was a girl.
