Chapter 7

   You were almost out of breath by the time of the block. You were a fast runner, but not fast enough to keep up with the speeding police cars as they swerved through traffic. However, you weren't about to give up -- and you dashed down an alley, dodging stacks of boxes and trash cans as you went.
        "(Y/N)!" You heard Hiro's faint call, but now you were so far away you didn't even glance back. Coming out of the dark alley and back onto the main street, you caught a glimpse the figure, running at an almost superhuman pace. Then, suddenly, they collapsed, tumbling to the ground and gripping their chest. Unfortunately, they were on the other side of a busy street, and before you could cross, they hailed a taxi and sped off, leaving you and a dozen or so flustered policeman who had jumped from their cars when the person had collapsed. Now, your rush of adrenalin had faded, and you leaned against the old, brick wall for support as you gasped for air.
        Hiro and the gang came running up about five minutes later, and were even more out of breath than you -- tired and annoyed, Hiro most of all.
        "What the heck where you thinking (Y/N)?" Go Go yelled at you, who was the first to get her voice back. You stood panting for a few seconds before you could answer.
        "I- I thought it," you took another sharp breath in, " w-was t-the guy." Hiro stepped up beside her.
        "But it wasn't?" His angry expression had changed to a look of pity.
        "I- I don't think so." Hiro let out a sigh, and took your hand.
        "Come on, we should get back. We haven't paid yet, and we left Wasabi to watch our table." Taking one last look behind you, you let Hiro lead you back the way you had come.
        You got back to the diner, and sat down to finish your meal. You and Honey chatted for around ten minutes, before you were interrupted by a familiar squeal." Oh no....
        "Hiro!" Clare gasped, stopping in front of your table. Hiro looked up, and gave her a small smile in greeting. She was slipping on her sweater, and seemed slightly out of breath. As she fixed her hair, she looked around at your friends. "Who are your friends?" She asked sweetly.
        "This is Fred, Wasabi, Go Go, Honey Lemon, and-" she cut him off.
        "Hello, I'm Hiro's student!" She chirped, sitting herself down next to Honey in the booth. You looked down at the table as they started talking, your previous conversation completely forgotten.
        "I love your shoes!" Honey gasped, looking at Clare's pink flats.
        It went on like this for at least another half and hour before Wasabi suggested you paid. Splitting the cost, you paid at the front, and made your way out the door, and down the street. You ended up getting dragged into multiple clothing stores as Clare pulled Honey around to every display. 
        "Hiro," you piped up, nudging his arm. "This has been fun, but I have a lot of homework, and it's getting late..." Hiro nodded.
        "Yeah, you're right (Y/N)."
        You left after that, walking a few streets down, before saying goodbye to the gang. Thankfully, Clare had to leave too -- saying something about some reservation thing. You were just happy that Clare was gone, and you were heading home. You and Hiro arrived at the café right as the sun began to sink in the sky, letting off an orange glow as it got lower and lower.
        Before you went to bed, you decided to check the news, incase there was any more news on the chase that had taken place earlier that day. You were just about to shut it off after watching the weather for the next day, when the picture changed. A man was standing in what looked like the local police station. In the top left corner, a picture of the person you'd run after, dressed in a black hood.
        "If you see this person, please contact the police immediately," the man said. "Nothing has been confirmed of them, but we've gotten reports of them being a woman. Please contact officials if any information is gathered. Anyone withholding this person or any evidence will be arrested immediately."
