Caine tried to be careful, despite being told time and again by Jupiter that he didn't need to patrol her neighborhood, or the path that looped around her jobs, letting him keep up on what was going on in each and every neighborhood.

It was the repeated sound of the man's steps that eventually caught Caine's attention. Like when one listened to a nature loop, and after a time that one second tick between the end and the beginning started to become more and more pronounced until it couldn't be ignored. The constant, same sound of the man's step came to Caine, distinctive over the brown noise of random people around him.

Not giving a glance back, Caine hurried his step suddenly, turning a corner into an alley. Should the man follow him, he'd come around the corner to find Caine missing. At least until he looked up.

Then he'd find the skyjacker perched on the lowest tier of a fire escape, weapon in hand and pointed down. "Can I help you?"
