Sprinting down a quiet street, it seemed like he was running from nothing. In reality, numerous shades were pursuing him, and definitely enough of them to overwhelm even his special skill. He was dead set on escaping them, and so far that was going well, but they only had to turn the corner after him for him to be in perfect sight again.
He set his plan in stone as soon as an alley came into view. A man heading from the opposite direction threatened to throw a wrench in it, so Akira fervently gestured to him to head down the alley as well. He could serve as a distraction target as well, but Akira wasn’t so desperate that he’d intentionally sacrifice someone else.
Stepping into the alley whether the man followed or not, he quickly dug a number of empty soda cans out of his bag. Dropping the bag, he held them between both hands, took a ready stance, and then threw them as far down the street the man had come from as he could. The clangs were meant to trick the shades into thinking he’d gone ahead, rather than where he was.
Grabbing the bag again, he dashed over to duck behind a nearby dumpster. Take what you can get.
