Edith walked a couple of meters into the alley before looking over her shoulder, the stranger hadn't followed her that was good. Edith's shoulders sagged a little as she let out a sigh of relief. At this point Edith had no idea who she could trust, agents of the Fallen could be anywhere. Like cockroaches... Glancing around the alley Edith guessed she could probably rest here, she wasn't super close to the Guard HQ but that was probably for the best. Alleys around the Guard HQ probably had cameras in them.

Edith leaned on one of the alley walls and closed her eyes savouring the moment of quiet. The moment didn't last, of course, the loud sound of a helicopter approaching quickly crushed any sense of calm Edith felt. Helicopters were never good news. There was almost always something wrong somewhere if a helicopter nearby, be it some clogged traffic or a bank robbery helicopters were always there to be a set of eyes in the sky. The sound slowly levelled out and settled, it seemed that whatever was going down was only a block or two away. That was... Much closer than Edith would have liked, though if she stayed put she would probably be safe.

Then suddenly the sound of rotor blades breaking caused Edith to run out of the Alley and look in the direction of the sound. She couldn't see it from where she was but whatever was going on the helicopter didn't sound like it was going to be airborne much longer. Edith quickly decided to run the opposite direction to the sounds of the crash. Edith heard someone talking over a megaphone, but the wind rushing past her made it impossible to tell what they were saying. 

Edith full sprinted at least two more blocks away from the event. The distance made her feel a little safer, but full sprinting down the sidewalk would have obviously put some eyes on her. Not to mention she was now another two blocks away from the Guard HQ. Shit, this wasn't good. There was too much going on and there was no alleyway to scurry into. This situation was only getting worse in Edith's head, at this rate she was going to have a panic attack.
