At the moment that Rorschach walked by, projecting his thoughts in what the telepathically endowed Shadow felt constituted a shout, he turned his head with everyone else around him and tried to locate the source. He handed the vendor some cash for the newspaper in his hand and casually started a stroll in the direction that he thought the thoughts had gone. If he could catch up, he might be able to determine if this was an intended assault on citizen psyche, or unintentional. Either way, he wanted to know who the unknown individual was that displayed such a use of thought projection.

Once more, he snorted to himself /Still can't trust instincts. Doesn't work. Credulous individuals everywhere, suspecting nothing, yet posing hindrance. Hell could arise every moment and they would know not better than to grovel in submission, blindly accepting their fate. Typical./
He stopped, if only for a moment or two, before heading down into a nearby alley. If he indeed was being followed, and it wasn't just the overall crowdiness of the city that perked his suspicion, he would find out that way.

When Rorschach stopped and then turned down an alley, it put The Shadow into a bottleneck of sorts. To follow would give away his position, to find a way around might mean to lose the man. It was time to play his hand as a less-than-adept man trying to follow Rorschach. He walked by the end of the alley, then stopped, backtracking as if something had caught his attention. Turning down the alley, he continued his casual stroll, throwing an occasional glance over his shoulder as if he feared something to jump out from behind him at any time.

The man stepping into the alley, though, was mostly inconspicuous, aside from the obvious fact that he, indeed, walked right into the alley. And by doing so straight into Rorschach's circle of suspicion.
/Hiding something./ was the one conclusion Rorschach quickly latched into half a moment before he dropped down onto the ground once more, blocking the stranger's way out and pointing his grappling gun straight at him, growling §Who are you?"
