Chapter 1.
Andrew ran as fast as his legs would carry him, at times he thought they wouldn't as he felt his legs almost give out from under him but the person chasing him wasn't giving up. The chase had started nearly 24 hours ago but she had found him again. Word had gotten to him a little too late that she was on his trail.
Seeing the lowered fire escape ladder Andrew took it rushing up the side of the building heading towards the roof, every moment or so he would check over his shoulder looking for her. Reaching the roof Andrew looked over the ledge but there was no sight of his pursuer, smiling and beginning to laugh to himself in what he thought was a for him, Andrew walked himself to the far end of the roof top and slid down to the ground his back against the short wall that enclosed the roof. He closed his eyes as he took slower calming breaths, later he would discover this to be his second mistake, the first being that he stopped running. Before he knew what was happening his legs were being pulled up by his ankles as his back slammed flat on the ground the impact and surprise rushing the air from his lungs. Next hands grabbed at his chest, snatching him up by his jacket dragging him up the short distance from the ground to the edge of the roof, panic began to rise in him as Andrew realised what was happening. Grabbing at the hands that held him Andrew tried to pull away from the grip but was unable to, when he tried to move his legs to kick out, his legs had been tied he couldn't move them.
'Tell me where he is Andrew' the familiar voice demanded as Andrew was pushed further out over the edge.
'I don't know who you mean!' Andrew desperately called back for which he was rewarded for by being pushed out even further the top of his shoulder now over the edge, Andrew tried holding his head up to keep his balance.
'Don't lie to me Andy, I know you know where he is so speak up!'
'I don't know, I swear I don't!' Andrew more fearful by the moment called back.
'Well at least you seem to know who I'm talking about now. That's a start in the right direction.'
'If I tell you he'll kill me!' Andrew pleaded.
'That's what they all say.' The voice coldly retorted. 'Who says I won't kill you?'
'No way, you people don't kill.' Andrew said with a hopeful tone.
'Let's test that theory shall we?' Andrew gasped, reaching out to grab anything as he went further over the edge until the small of his back rested on the roof wall.
'Alright I'll tell you!' Andrew scared called out. 'Pull me up I'll tell you.'
'Tell me then I'll pull you up.'
Andrew thought for a moment not seeing an alternative that he liked he began to speak.
'He's hiding out at some mountain top lodge, secluded.' Andrew called out.
'Where?' The voice demanded again.
'I'm not sure, he keeps moving about, he may not even be there now.' Andrew rushed feeling his body sliding out further over the edge inch by inch.
'Where's his next port of call then?'
'I'm not sure.' Andrew screamed out in fear as he moved further over the edge his captor weighting down his lower half on the ledge whilst gripping onto his jacket and shirt.
'California, he's coming back to California.' Andrew got no response to his latest outburst. 'Unfinished business I'm told.' Andrew continued. 'I told you everything now let me go, pull me up!' Andrew desperately called out.
'You want me to let you go?'
'Yes you crazy bitch, let me go, I've told you everything I know. I'm a dead man here in L.A. now. You promised you'd let me go if I told you where he was.'
'You're right Andrew I did promise that and I'm sure the police will be more than happy to pull you up when they get here.'
'What, no, you gave your word!' Andrew cried dread seeping in as he realised what was to come.
'And you believed me, consider that your third mistake.' Andrew barely had time to breathe in let alone scream as he was released from her grip. He fell a short distance and came to a short stop as the rope came taught making him stop hanging by his legs outside an office window.
Cate dropped down the short distance from the fire escape into the side alley she had chased Andrew into. Stepping out into the main street she watched and listened as a crowd formed around and under where Andrew was hanging, screaming and yelling his head off. Everyone looking up to him Cate smiled chuckling to herself slightly as she crossed the street to her black motorcycle. Reaching her bike she walked around it to turn back and see again Andrew squirming like a worm on a hook. Cate smiled again as she was about to mount her bike something caught her attention, a child, a little girl playing with a ball which she lost control of as it bounced out towards the road, the child's mother distracted by Andrew didn't notice her little girl wonder off, Cate watched with dread forming in the pit of her stomach. Stepping away from her bike Cate headed towards the little girl who was still trying to tame her unruly ball, Cate then spotted what she dreaded as a delivery truck barrelled round the corner both driver and child unaware of each other. Cate sprinted down the street to the small girl praying to whoever was listening that her legs would get her there in time. The child's mother turned to see her little girl run after her ball in front of the truck.
'Mollie!' The mother screeched just as it looked tragedy would strike Cate snatched up the little girl and dove across the hood of the parked car landing awkwardly on her side and shoulder protecting little Mollie from harm. For a moment they didn't move, Cate rolled onto her back and looked to the little girl as she stood up and looked down to Cate baffled as to what had just happened.
'You ok?' Cate asked as she carefully got up kneeling in front of the child who slowly nodded her head.
'Mollie!' Her mother cried snatching her up into her arms. 'Oh baby, are you alright?' As the mother checked her daughter over and began to be crowded by others, Cate stood and began to gingerly walk back to her bike. The sounds of sirens were very close and she wanted out of the area as quickly as possible. Putting on her crash helmet Cate swung her leg over her bike started it and drove off leaving the big scene behind her.
