Excerpt:
Ignoring the pain, I continued to kick, hoping to get him
off me. I continued to reach to get a better hold on the ladder. With my next
kick, I felt one of my legs spring free from his grasp. I glanced back, coiled
my leg back as far as it would go, hoping to gain as much force as possible,
and then let it go, hitting him directly in the face. He stumbled back against
the wall, yelling and screaming for Jason and Eric. It was now or never. I had
to get away. Reaching again, I grabbed the bar with both hands and pulled
myself through the small opening. Our eyes met for just a moment before I took
off down the fire escape.
The next few seconds were a blur as the blood coursed
through my veins. I flew down the ladder and jumped off the railing before it even
reached the bottom. I knew every second counted. At any moment, Jake and his
men would be coming around the corner and I wouldn’t be able to fight them all
off. I hit the ground with a thud and felt the jarring impact move up my legs
and spread into my back. I stumbled forward and ran as fast as I could.
The streets were empty, dark. Running as fast as I could, I
scanned for anyone to help me, for a cab. I would've settled for any sign of
human life at that point. Yet there was no one.
Every few seconds, I looked over my shoulder, expecting to
see the three of them chasing after me. Deep down, I was thankful that they
weren't back there, but I couldn't help wondering where they were. There was no
way he would give up that easily.
