Laurel stumbles in through the window of her apartment, knocking picture frames to the ground as she grasps for the edge of the small table that rests against the nearest wall. The sound of glass shattering rings out, loud and piercing in the otherwise quiet night.
A door down the hall opens. Quick, heavy footsteps beat an even tempo against the floor - coming from the hall through the living room.
Laurel grimaces when the overhead lights of the kitchen flick on, the bright yellow glow too much for her tired eyes after a night spent in darkened alleys. The footsteps come to an abrupt halt before they quicken once more, the beat changing as they step from hardwood onto linoleum.
