It was a good thing that Rhea was in pretty good shape, because otherwise, she wouldn't have a chance of staying ahead of the two largish men that were currently trying to run her down. She still wasn't sure how they'd found her; she'd been so careful! And yet she still found herself turning around to a man in a dark suit, asking her "excuse me, Miss Berrisford, you'll have to come with us." Apparently they hadn't expected much of a fight because she'd had no trouble wrenching free of his hold, and now, she was making a break for it. Unfortunately, while bulky, the men were much more spry than she would have thought possible, and they seemed to be keeping up just fine.
Rhea jumped over a dumpster and threw herself around the corner of an alleyway, only to find herself face to face with a brick wall. Three brick walls, actually, on all sides. She spun around to double back, but she could already hear their shouts, footsteps splashing in the ever present puddles of Seattle streets, and she backed up... there was a fire escape to her left, but try as she might to jump up to the handle, it was too high --until she spotted the hooked handle of an umbrella poking out of the gutter. She used it to reach the ladder, pulling it down, she scrambled up the metal fixture as quickly as she could, sparing only the briefest glance behind her to the two men pointing up at her from below. She ran up the stairs, heart pounding as she ran as quickly as she could, even as she heard footfalls on the metal structure behind her.
