Jin darted from hiding spot to hiding spot, getting nearer to the gate with every burst of movement. It was getting darker now, and she knew there was a very small window of time for her to get out the gate. Daylight, and it would be too bright for her to sneak around. Full dark, and everyone would have lights on, lighting up the shadows she needed. But the in-between of sunset was the perfect balance. It was dim, but no one had their lights on just yet. 

She made it near to the gate, only one last burst of distance to go. The trucks were coming in, and the guards' attention immediately went to them. Supplies were vital. With that bit of luck, and the guards' heads turned the other way, she headed out the gate, and then broke out into a careful jog. She was scrawny, yes, but sometimes that meant her lack of weight gave her extra endurance. It was a few miles from town before she dared stop, leaning against a tree. She'd done it! She'd made it out! A smile lit her face and she moved from her hiding spot- only to dart back to it immediately. Someone was out there! It was too far away to tell if he was nice or not, but she could only assume not. Unzipping the pocket on her supply pouch, she grabbed the meat knife and gripped it tight in her small fist.

"I worked too hard to die now." Her black eyes narrowed as she waited for the stranger to move.
