[Fey]

Once again Andi only had seconds to realize she was being followed, and to duck out of sight. She was breathing hard, but trying to keep quiet. If they caught her now she doubted she'd be able to defeat them all. Sliding down the wall she tried to mask her presence with the surrounding shadows.

She'd been running since the day prior. No one would have believed her if she told them she was being chased by people...things...not of this planet. Her squad had been on hand when the quiet arrival had been announced at the Pentagon, they'd been part of the first wave sent out to determine if they were friendly. Well they got that answer quickly. Something the visitors had done had literally wiped the troops off the map. The attack was fuzzy, and Andi still couldn't explain shy she wasn't vaporized just like her guys.

After that her C.O. had told her to lay low and keep out of trouble until they could get something to stop them. But apparently they'd done something to her, because they'd been hunting her actively since she'd left the field just that side of the Virginia state line. She'd hoped hiding in D.C. propper would throw them off her trail. Every time she thought she'd done it a small scouting group found her. She'd managed, thus far, to hold her own. But she was physically and mentally exhausted. The next skirmish could roll her up.

She'd kept to less inhabited areas of the city, the last thing she needed to do was involve civilians. But to get food, water and a change of clothes she was going to have to encounter someone. Slipping into a second hand store she tried to look unobtrusive and quickly pulled off her dark green skullcap. Grabbing up a few things she slipped out her wallet and moved to the counter. But something made her pause, again, that feeling of having a gun aimed between her shoulder blades. Someone was watching her....

Tried to do a bit of plot establishing and leave you a way to meld in...lemme know if you'd rather I change something.
