Thankfully, none of them noticed Jade run into the alleyway. She let out a sigh of relief, and listened closely to see if it was safe to approach these people. At that moment, a car drove by her, and parked next to the group. Judging by their reactions, she assumed that the guy in the car had a gun as well. Great. Now there were two gun-wielders that she had to deal with.

As she listened in, she began to realize what was going on. The short guy was aiming the gun at everyone else in the group, and the others were trying to calm him down. None of them seemed to have any idea what was going on, except for one guy, who thought they had all turned into Pokemon. That didn't seem to make much sense, but then again neither did anything else. She would believe anything at this point.

The short guy seemed to only be defending himself. As far as Jade could tell, he wouldn't shoot her if she tried to approach them. Sure, he might point the gun at her, but as long as she didn't do anything stupid he wouldn't shoot. The same couldn't be said for the guy in the car, though. He hadn't said anything since he arrived, so she couldn't tell what his intentions were. It was best to just wait a little longer.
