Mei was sure they were following her now. While she was confident in her fighting capabilities, she didn't want to press her luck with an injury. She made it to the ladder without stepping in the questionable water. She made her way up and tried to listen to see where she was. All she could make out was random town noises, but they seemed distant. She wasn't directly under people, which was good considering if she saw someone climb out of a manhole cover, she would question them or probably report them to the authorities.

She tried to take the manhole cover off, but it was proving to be tougher than the last one. She kept trying, eventually, it moved. She got it part way through before it wouldn't budge anymore. She managed to squeeze herself out and saw why it wouldn't move. It was now wedged under a large garbage bin. She couldn't move it back, which left little time now. She got up off the ground and limped her way into town.
