CHAPTER FOUR
It wasn’t going to take them anytime to get down and out of
the building, and so I had to establish some distance before that happened. I
was running as fast as I possibly could, I could feel the adrenaline surging
through my whole body as I pushed on.
They were out through the main building door in seconds, and
it was clear that I had underestimated them. They might be middle aged men, but
they didn’t run middle aged. They were going to catch up to me sooner or later,
and I could already the hear their footsteps growing louder.
I was running a
straight line down the sidewalk, and they were going to catch up to me if I
kept it that way. I looked to my right to see if there was any junction or
alley I could turn to, but there wasn’t any; I looked to my left, and saw cars
parked separating us from the roadway. I gathered momentum from my run, and
jumped onto one of the parked cars, landing on my butt and skidded through the
bonnet to the other side. I thought it was going to create distance between me
and the police, but I was wrong. One cop followed me, climbing on top of the
car, while the other went behind the parked cars, and followed.
