The Investigator
Evelyn picks up a discarded metal can from the alley floor and hurls it into the narrow side passage, producing a sharp, echoing clang. The sudden noise could startle the fleeing figure, potentially disrupting their escape route and allowing her to gain ground.Evelyn halts momentarily at the mouth of the side passage, her eyes darting over the ground for any trace of recent activity—smudged footprints, an overturned object, or a subtle shift in debris. Any evidence of someone passing through could validate this as the best path to intercept them.Evelyn edges into the narrow side passage with measured precision, her weapon at the ready and her eyes scanning every shadow. She keeps close to the wall, anticipating the possibility of an ambush or a sudden reversal from the fleeing figure.Evelyn opts for the narrow side passage, advancing carefully yet decisively. She stations herself at the exit, weapon drawn, ready to intercept the escaping figure as they step into the open street.
