Risk going down the alley

Stiletto's options were limited.

She could take one hunter easily, but a group would be more of a problem. If she didn't get out of the alley quickly she would be surrounded, and would have to surrender. She shuddered at the thought. Going backwards obviously not being an option, she pushed ahead.

Fortunately, the alley wasn't blocked. Unfortunately, its exit was packed with a surprisingly large crowd of people. Stiletto ducked into the shadows before any of them could see her. She needn't have bothered; the entire crowd was raptly watching something on a large television screen.

Stiletto sighed as she saw that the screen was showing coverage of her Hunt. There was a slight delay, and the crowd was currently watching as she defeated the drone. There were gasps of shock, and not a few groans of disappointment. Stiletto grinned wryly. Not bad.

It would get bad, though, if she couldn't find a way to get past the crowd. And watching the virtual version of herself examine the syringe only served to remind her of the aphrodisiac in her bloodstream, causing her outfit to suddenly become very warm and restricting.
