The wails of sirens pierce the night. Hunter is running, tailed by that never-ending howl, and tears past the homes of Detroit’s elites without a glance back. They had caught him once, twice, in the white glare of their headlights, and they lost him each time. He can feel the panic ( cold and crushing and tinged with thrill ) thrumming in the tips of his teeth when the sirens scream louder, looming over him with the roar of engines running at full throttle. Not far -- they’re not far. A manic laugh rips from his throat. They’re on the heels of his Oxfords, and guess what?
It’s terr-freakin’-ific!
He sharply veers off into a darkened alleyway and keeps sprinting as fast as his legs can carry him. The soles of his shoes smack against the wet concrete as he runs so fiercely that air whips through his hair. It’s a dead-end -- but with a little bit of bravado, nothing truly is a dead end. With a needless grunt, he climbs onto a trashcan and hoists himself over the brick wall...
... only to fall onto the other side and collide into a passer-by. There is a clumsy, fumbling tumble where he grapples onto the stranger and eventually rolls onto his back, laying on the cool asphalt with a wounded look. Just as he’s about to gripe about how his cashmere -very fine and soft cashmere, thank you- sweater is all scruffed up, the stranger’s face has him stiffening. Is that... a PL model? No way - could he be that lucky? Here he is, a hair’s breadth from being caught by the dogs, and the universe is merciful enough to drop one of CyberLife’s most helpful models right into his lap!
“Please!” he bleats, scrambling to grip onto the stranger’s sleeve. He stares up at him, wild-eyed and pretending to pant. “You got to help me -- the cops, they’re chasing me for... for some reason, I don’t even know!”
