They both run past two blocks of high-rise buildings, panting, their lungs rattling out like steam engines.

‘How much farther?’ Addison shouts, being careful not to drop the package.
‘Not much!’ Scott answers, as they both weaved in and out of swerving traffic, and away from their pursuers.

’They’re gaining on us, Scott, we have to do something!’

‘Alright, wait, I’ve got a plan!’
They both enter a rundown complex nearby and began swiftly moving up the stairs, until they reach the rooftop.

But they could hear the footsteps behind them, and Addison throws the package to Scott.
Scott catches it and proceeds to skillfully jump from the rooftop to the next, and lands on his feet.

‘Addie, c’mon, you can make it!’

Addie picks up the pace and makes the run to jump, spreading out her body to Scott’s direction, jerking oddly as one of their pursuers catches her hair, pulling her back.

Watching Scott’s face contort, she reaches out her arm to his and Scott screams her name.

Their fingers miss by inches.
