I dropped my gun back into my pocket. Not a good idea. Don't want to get shot tonight.
"PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD," the man with the megaphone yelled at me. So i did. it'd be a more discreet way to aim the grappling hook. not exactly unnoticable. just less so than pointing it out in front of me.
I heard somebody shout "what's he got?" and then i was off. I pulled the trigger on the device. A small but powerful magnet on the end of a steel cable shot out into oblivion. i prayed it hit something metal.
suddenly my arm was nearly yanked off as i was pulled at a breakneck speed upward. all around me guns fired. one went right past my ear. I came close to being deaf there. wow.
I continued to soar upward. right in front of my eyes a section of the brick wall broke away. one piece hit me in the cheek. a small bit of blood ran down my face, quickly being left behind as i shot up. and up...and up? I looked towards my savior metal, and my heart sank.
I was being pulled along by a police chopper, and moving towards them at too quick of a speed. stopped the cable from reeling in anymore. but as soon as i did, the chopper took off. the top of the nearest building sped towards me and i had to lift my knees up to my chin to avoid leaving part of me behind. but the next building was coming up fast, and it was a floor taller. but luckily the chopper rose quickly, and my heels kicked off of the ledge circling the roof.
the chopper continued to rise at a scary speed. before i knew it the building under me was feet below me. the next building I would pass over was right below me. only a 2 or 3 foot drop. I began to calculate my release on the grappling hook. for an instant I looked up at the chopper. and then i did a fast double-take.
there was a cop leaning out the side door, aiming a painful looking assault rifle at me! I couldn't reach my gun. I was helpless. the only thing I could do was to jump right now. but then again, it may take him long enough to aim that I could wait until the next building. oh crap.
what would YOU do?
