I cautiously surveyed the roof top and not seeing anything out of the ordinary I proceeded to the edge of the roof. I tired off my rope which I dug out of the bag that had mysteriously appeared on my back. I began to scale down the side of the skyscraper, the mirrored windows did me little or no justice to see where or what floor I was around. In a split second decision I decided that I had gone far enough. I kicked off of the building and fired one shot into the window directly in front of me shattering the glass instantly and left me swinging into the building and landing flat on my back on top of the broken glass. I was in... again.
I saw a sign on the wall that read 'Floor 47, Room 65' I could not have planned that better if I tried, then an odd thought came to me, on floor 46 there was room 35, so in 45 floors there are only 34 rooms, and between 46 and 47 there are 30 rooms. Then I noticed a sign just below the first sign that read 'Shut up we know, the rooms are all messed up.' what an odd sign, I thought.
I kicked open the door expecting an army of guards, there was nothing not even a camera. Holstering my guns, I walked to the directory sign. 'Stairs right behind you' This is a very odd building. 'Army of guards, Floor 48' very odd indeed, I chuckled.
I turned and walked down the stairs. Floor 46 was dimly lit an it looked as if a neon sign flickered down the corridor, I cautiously walked to the end of the corridor lined with doors. I turned the corner and found exactly that a big neon flickering sign that read 'Room 35' another beside it that just had a big arrow pointing toward the door. This place is weird! I said softly. I knocked on the door, not wanting to be rude. 'yo come on in eh' a male voice came with a heavy Italian accent.
I opened the door to see a big Italian looking guy well dressed in leisure styled clothes,
'What can I do for ya?' he asked
'Are you Steven Briggs?' I asked keeping it strictly business.
Maybe, what's it to ya?' He asked while leaning up against the window.
BANG BANG I slowly raised the gun so it pointed straight up in th air. I knew it was him and a few years before i may have talked with him for hours just to make sure, but i have found that if they say maybe or just what's it to ya, he's the one. Back in real time, Steve didn't move he remained there, head hung low,
I could see the window behind him was cracking in every direction. i walked up to him, he raised his head slightly. I straightened his unbuttoned shirt and stepped back 'There now you look good' I then gave him a swift kick to the chest, launching him out the window.
I then proceeded to scale down the building using the rope that i had used just a few minutes ago. As I descended I began to be able to see my Lamborghini but something was wrong it didn't look right but i could not tell what. As I descended more I was able to see what was wrong it looked as though two big rigs ran into it at high speed, it was folded in half like a wallet. It was Briggs he landed right in the middle of my car totaling it completely. 'Well there goes my security deposit.' I said quietly, looking for a new ride.
Finally I found one a bright green and pink limousine. As I approached the car I was able to make out the words 'Myra Limited Edition' written on the back. I opened the back door to find the most beautiful young lady sitting cross legged in the back.
