At least one thing you can do to verify whether one option is even viable, is to check one of the storm drains. It was kind of your last resort option in case of a panic, so you never actually wanted to go down here. But putting on some galoshes over your shoes and rolling up your pants, you manage to drop down one of the openings easily enough. Your first discovery is that the storm drain system is not the same as the sewer system, so by comparison it's cleaner than you would have expected and you're not just wading through waste. Of course compared to what you're used to and your sensibilities, it may as well be the most disgusting place you've ever been and the entire experience makes your skin crawl and your stomach turn. You'll be taking multiple showers when you get home and multiple runs through the washing machine for your clothes!
As expansive as the drain system is down here though, with only your cell phone light as a guide, you very nearly get lost and only manage to find your way back by luck. Although there are periodically placed manholes or other storm drains along the way, you expect just crawling out of one still in downtown is an easy way to get caught. Your preference would be to follow the drainage system (at least this sector of it) to... wherever the terminus is, but you're quite sure you <span class="mu-i">would</span> get lost if you attempted that. On the one hand it should make for a pretty decent escape route since you'd easily lose any pursuers down here, but on the other hand with no experience navigating down here it could be a lengthy amount of time and even dangerous for you to try to find your way.
But, less dangerous than tangling with the authorities, if the other escape plans didn't work?
<span class="mu-g">"That you hun?"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"No dad, I'm a murderer."</span>
<span class="mu-g">"Back so late? What were you..."</span>
When eventually you do get home then after all the preparations for your big plan tomorrow, it's quite late and your dad had been starting to worry. This time you can't use the same excuse either about staying late at your job for manager training, since your clothes are still damp and smell strongly of drain water. Stripping off and grabbing a towel so you can shove everything in the washing machine buys you enough of an excuse to get upstairs to your bathroom for a shower, but you know dad is going to want some explanation when he sees you next.
