Alice almost laughed - the Fool's flare for the dramatic reminded her of the Carpenter (and hadn't he taken a blow for her, fiend and fool though he was?)

She slipped behind them, keeping low and close to the rubble as much as she could until she reached the staircase the Fool had described. She was quick and quiet, used to navigating hairy situations where she had to go unnoticed. She was finally able to reach a door, pulled it open, and gasped.

The movement must have caught one of the Sentry's eye, and in a flash he was making his way up the fire escape towards Alice, while the other was bearing down on the Fool.

"Run!" She called to him over the banister, and glanced down at the officer who was quickly closing the distance between them.
