Mei was able to determine that they were fairly close, maybe a couple blocks away. It was a matter of figuring out where on that block, however. After some snooping around, she eventually determined it had to be an alleyway three blocks down. Her suspicions were confirmed when she could hear to speaking....three girls? And what was the whimpering? She kept flush against the wall outside the mouth of the alley, trying to eavesdrop.
