"Looking for some company, Mister." Keegan asked of the guy who wandered on by her as she leaned back against the brick wall of a random building. When the guy seemed to slow in his step the teen pushed off from the wall to bridge the brief distance between them with a couple steps. "Fifty for half an hour." Keegan quoted her price when she reached the guy only to recoil in horror when the guy made a slow, awkward turn to face her. As the guy with the disfigured face reached out as if to grab for the teen, Keegan back-stepped and then turned in an attempt to flee. Which wasn't exactly a good thing for the girl as in her attempt to get away from the man, Keegan stepped off the walk and into the street in the direct path of a pair oncoming headlights. All she found herself doing was stare wide eyed at the oncoming vehicle like a deer caught up in the path of headlights.
It was way too late for Catherine to be driving, but she'd had a very long night out with some friends after a night of patrolling, and she just hadn't felt up to doing the walking when she met them at Avarice, so she had driven. Catherine didn't drive very often for a reason: mainly because she sucked at it. Apparently none of her coordination went toward a driving skill. She had seen the girl coming, but couldn't *quite* stop quick enough, although her reflexes managed to help it so that she didn't completely slam into the poor girl, turning her insides into a gel. It was more of a hard push than a slam. Worried, Catherine put the car into park and ran out of the car to the girl she had just hit. "Oh god, are you alright?" she asked, bending down to check on her.
