[Unlike Alec, Emily knows these streets all too well. The twists and turns of the alleys are nigh memorized, and even if she loses sight for a precious second, she can safely assume where she can catch sight of him again, following her mental map.
She knows, then, when he's made a wrong turn before he does. When he chooses the path of a dead end, she takes the opportunity to descend to the street, borrowing balconies and verandas to aid in her descent.
So when Alec comes to a halt, he may hear the sound of her boots hitting the pavement behind him. She isn't winded, but her breathing is harder.]
I'll ask you this once more -- who are you? And why did you run?
