Whatever it was that stalked Sandy suddenly knocked something down into the alley way, creating an echoing clatter. It seemed to be banking on the curiosity of the pony.
The noise snapped Sandy out of his day...er, night-dreaming, and his head darted towards the alley. He glanced around, to see if anypony else heard that, but the streets were empty. Yeah...that there's not the least bit sketchy. Through squinted eyes, he could make out the usual back-alley clutter, but nothing else. Could've been a gang of mobsters, could've been the neighborhood cat, the light was just too dim to tell. Well, he'd soon fix that.

A quick flashlight spell, and a beam of light shone from his horn. He looked all over the alleyway, searching for anything (or anypony) suspicious-looking. "Hello? Who goes there?" he called out. Two of his daggers glowed in his magical grip, but he kept his weapons sheathed for now.
