"mmmn-mff-nnnghh!"
Hm?
What the heck is she trying to say? I pulled the bandana off her face.
"They're going to come in here soon, you have to hide!!"
Almost as if on a queue, a guy started coming down the stairs.
Crap. Gotta hide quick!
"!!!- hey what about the band- nnnggh-"
What was that just now? Band? Oh crap! I forgot to put her bandana back! Ohhhh no!
The criminal guy noticed immediately and started to search the room.
Oh crap oh crap oh crap. What did I get myself into?
A shiny thing flew through the air and went shiiiiing past my shoulder.
Wait no. That was a knife, I almost just died from that. Actually it gouged my shoulder pretty bad, I can't really feel any pain though.
Some other strange feeling coursed through my body. Is this fear? No, this is something else, what is this?
Oh…I know, I read about this somewhere. In situations like this people go into shock. That must be what this is.
I saw a pair of boots stop in front of me. I was hiding under the desk, he probably already spotted me. Hence the knife, my heart's beating so fast it's about to burst.
"Where ever could you beeee?
Hmmmm?
Maybe…....
HERE!!!"
Suddenly an ugly face appeared in front of me. A hand grabbed my ankle and dragged me out by my foot.
Well, this didn't go as planned at all. Plan B sucks. I'm sorry, but I don't feel I fully was able to honor my promise Mr. Shirone. You said for me to live and well...
I'm probably dead meat now after all…
A flashy yellow club swung down, barely missing my face. I rolled and panicked to brace myself to my feet but the man had already reset his motion for the next swing.
It's too late.
A blurry streak whipped through the air. I braced for impact however, it never came.
I opened my eyes to see the man stopped in his motion. He was suspended.
It looked as if some sort of force was surrounding him, but it felt like I could feel that force in it's entirety.
Wait a second, am I doing this!?
When I got to my feet the man flung into the wall with enough force to knock him unconscious.
Holy crap balls!!!
"We gotta get out of here now, untie me! Hurry up!"
Oh yeah she's right.
Now isn't the time to be spacing out.
The two of us stacked some boxes up at the window, she climbed up and pulled herself out of the window in the quickest motion. It was like she had been looking up at that window for a good amount of time planning how to escape.
But I heard the door at the top swing open and foot steps knocking as someone else was coming down the stairs.
I panicked and fell down from the box I was on, man, I am seriously not good under pressure.
I quickly got up and rushed to pull myself out the window. Barely, I made it since I felt a hand almost catch my ankle on the way out. we started running back, I could even hear the muffled yelling of the guy inside the building from the road.
"They're probably gonna come out here looking for us so let's take the back alleys!"
"That makes sense, got it."
At least the girl understood the situation and could think clearly. I'm all flustered even though I was the one who was supposed to be doing the rescuing.
