[When the Eevee horde takes off for the laundry chute, Parker knows.
She doesn't know how she knows, exactly, but she does; maybe it's their sudden urgent enthusiasm to get downstairs as fast as they possibly can, or maybe it's the fact that she overheard something (the footfalls, the bed creaking, movement of any kind, something) herself, but either way, she knows.
The only question, then, is which is actually a faster way down — following the Eevees through the chute, or picking the basement's deadbolt and leaping the stairs.
(In the end, she goes for the stairs, but only because the chute is preoccupied by Eevees.)
And sure enough, when she gets there, Ishimaru is...
...
well, he's...up, but something's wrong, and she knows it. She doesn't have to be a grifter to know it; he's wearing the same look she'd had on all week.]
