I slit the throats of two that came near to me , concealing their bodies in the shrub I was hiding in . I fled my shrub and ran to the back of the theater , which now looked like a church , hiding beneath a window that looked right into where I had been . From my vantage point , I could see that most of them had left . I wanted to go to the roof but I knew that there had to be at least two of them there .

Question: Why might this person be trying to conceal themselves .
They are being pursued by a murderous mob .
