Vikram moved before his brain could process what he was doing.
He caught the child between the second floor and third floor, then hung himself from the iron grills on the balcony.
The child started crying even louder, while kicking his feet trying to get away from Vikram.
After all, it's a toddler, no matter how frightened he is, it's normal for kids to pull away from people other than their parents.
Moreover, Vikram had that 'predator' aura all over him, having come off from a fight just now.
If his reflexes had not been focused by the fight and run earlier, he wouldn't have moved this fast, even with the genetic modifications.
Now that the immediate crisis is averted, his brain starts functioning again.
Right now, he is hanging on to the grill using stubby lizard claws, while the other hand is used to hold the toddler.
However, he was within the reach of most crocodiles.
