She hides

Kate held her breath as the sound of the chopper blades drew nearer. Light streamed either side of the vents, less than a finger from illuminating her bare skin. She ducked her head lower, unable to help looking at herself even more.

She knew exactly what they were close to seeing. Kate squeezed her legs tighter to her chest, waiting for them to go away.

She'd normally prefer to be more active, but not if it involved exposing everything.

After a few moments, the chopper moved on. Kate barely relaxed. It was a minute more before she risked looking out again, seeing the light now focused on another rooftop. Carefully she stood up, still crouching. Practicality took over and she used her arms for balance and support rather than covering herself, resorting instead to simply praying no one saw her.

She crossed over to another edifice, watching carefully. She'd have to go a different way to keep further away from the Crows, but it shouldn't be too bad.

"I think I saw movement!"

Kate stiffened at the sound of someone's call. Oh no. She risked poking her head out again, seeing a couple of Crows hurrying along an adjacent roof. Shit.

There was a shed area on the top of this roof. Using the shadows as cover, Kate quickly sprinted over to it. The one advantage to being naked, she supposed, was that bare feet did mean she could run silently. Then again bare skin wasn't quite the same camouflage as black.

She reached the shed just as the Crows reached the same roof as her. Barely breathing, she pressed her back to it, a slat poking into her butt, listening very carefully.

She took a silent step sideways as she heard them approach. As she saw a torch beam sneak into view around the corner, she ducked to the next side of the shed a split second before she'd have come into view.

Shit, that was way too close. She couldn't let them see her naked! For all she knew, they were people that knew her. It wasn't like she was unknown to the Crows. She didn't exactly want them knowing what she looked like under her outfit whenever she visited.

As silently as she could, holding her breath and trying to listen to their footsteps over the sound of her heartbeat, Kate sidled along the side of the shed again, hoping to end up out of view.
