Katie eventually blended into a crowded market, hoping to find cover amongst the people selling their wares. The air was rich and thick with the smell of fresh fish, and the fried eggs that were haphazardly shoved into breakfast rolls. She had no money, and her stomach grumbled despite the grave situation. It was, perhaps, a touch of the normal in the craziness of the past few hours. She wrapped her arms around herself, hugging her middle protectively as she wandered through. A few people gave her a second glance, but for the most part, she went unnoticed. 

And then she saw him. It was as random and unexpected as winning the lottery when you didn't even have a ticket. Katie paused in her step, eyes widening as her mind went blank. And a moment later - [i]should I approach him?[/i] She didn't know if he'd turn her in or shush her or what, but what else did she have? Her memory was fuzzy; were her parents still alive? Something told her not, but she didn't know... She took a few hesitant steps toward the man, every muscle in her body urging her to run away.
