Tonight, a lot of people in Los Angeles needed help.
But the bigshots upstairs were absolutely the last people who needed the help. Luke and Selina didn't want to waste time on them at all.
Luke reached Selina and the others five minutes later. He looked at the officers and smiled. "No rush. We'll go up first for a look. If we can clear an area for helicopters to land, I'm sure those bigshots are rich enough to call for helicopters to ferry them off."
The officers were sitting on the stairs and sweating all over. They nodded and smiled, and one with slightly more energy said, "That'd be great. Thanks."
With that, Luke and Selina continued up the stairs.
Selina had already recovered, but after two floors, Luke put her on his back and said in a low voice, "Okay, let's go up quickly and get rid of those idiots."
Carrying Selina, Luke ran all the way to the rooftop without entering the banquet hall at all.
