"Stop!"
The woman clad in black from her heels all the way up to the hood that covered her face so the only thing that shown were her golden eyes, stopped and stared at the man in front of her.
A typical security guard of the building that they where standing on top off, a gun held tightly in his hand.
The woman smiled, though the guard couldn't see. She then spoke, her voice was silky, but still frightening.
"Take this message to Marrs, it didn't have to be this way."
Then with little to no warning, she jumped off the building.
"NO!" The guard screamed and ran forward and looked over the edge, he expected to see the woman's mangled body on the street below, but, there was nothing, no sign of the woman, nothing. Putting his gun away, he just looked around for a few more moments then slowly walked back to the inside of the building.
The sound of people moaning in pain were the first thing to enter his ears, he looked around and frowned only one was dead but the rest where injured. The police were already on scene, investigating the area and taking the injured away. The guard walked up to a police officer, a woman with dark skin, and sighed.
"I take it she got away, Reese?" The office asked and the 'guard' nodded.
"Yeah, she jumped, she's still alive though, she told me to tell Marrs, that it didn't have to be this way, what could she mean by that?" the male asked and the woman sighed as well.
"Marrs obviously rubbed her the wrong way. I mean, why would she just come here, kill a woman, injure five others, and leave? I thought you and Finch try to stop this stuff from happening, I mean did she come up late or something?"
"I'm not sure, Carter, Finch, you've been quiet" Reese said tapping on the earpiece. There was a moment of pause then Finch responded.
"looking at the street camera's, I don't know where she could of gone, there wasn't a truck below her or anything that could of soften her fall."
Before Reese could say anything, a man walked up to him, he looked a man in his late thirties, graying brown hair, hard green eyes and slim body. This man was Mr. Marrs. The owner of this little company.
"Is she gone?" he asked a slight quiver in his voice and Reese nodded. Marr's relaxed and sighed, "I don't know how it go to this, I don't even know what I've done, why? why would someone just kill Marie?! she was my best worker!"
"Mr. Marrs please calm down, we are doing what we can to track her down-" Carter said but was cut off by the enraged business owner.
"What you can?! I saw her! she ran up on the roof! you!" he pointed to Reese who only looked at him, "You chased after her! and what? did she just vanish!"
Reese kept his calm and replied, "She jumped from the roof, I lost track of her after that"
"Lost track of her?! that's at least a four story jump, she has to be mangled on the ground out side! You three!" Marrs turned and pointed to three people, two being cops and one being another security guard of his. "Go check outside for her body!" He demanded and they just shrugged and shuffled out.
"They aren't going to find anything" Reese mumbled. Marrs turned his attention to something else and Finch spoke on the other line.
"Mr. Reese, we have a bit of a problem, I need you back at the library"
"Is everything alright?"
"With me, yes, I just need you back here"
Reese only nodded and started to walk out, saying a quick goodbye to Carter as he did so.
It didn't take long for him to get to the library, when he walked in he was greeted warmly by Bear. Patting the dog on the head, Bear happily sat back down in his bed. "Good boy" Reese said and walked up to Finch, who as normal, was on the computer typing away.
"What's the problem?" Reese asked, Finch looked at him and got up from his chair.
"It appears we have two numbers"
"Two?"
"Yes, Mr. Marrs being the first and now, we have Mr. Ben Green."
Finch grabbed a picture and tapped it on the cracked board. The kid looked just like a normal kit, Black hair, blue eyes, pale skin, skinny, He was almost forgettable.
"Ben is still in school, seventeen years old, average B and C student, doesn't really stick out much." Finch mumbled slightly, he the shook his head "that's not all Mr. Reese, I found our roof jumper, it seems that she scaled down the building, grabbing a lower ledge when she jumped."
"Any idea where she went?"
"So far it looks like the bad part of new York, I'm not sure yet"
"Are the two numbers connected?"
Finch frowned and pondered for a moment then said. "I'm not sure, but I really don't think so, but we can't rule it out just yet, not until we know this female's name"
Limping back towards his computer, Finch sat down and started to type away, "since we now have two numbers, I'm going to watch Ben, you keep an eye on Mr. Marrs"
"What about Shaw?"
"Ms. Shaw will stay were she is, watching Mr. Marrs."
Reese smirked and said, "You don't think she'd make a good teacher?"
"I'm thinking of the children Mr. Reese, thinking of the children." Finch said with a slight smile, Reese just shook his head and chortled a little. Finch typed away, after a few minutes he nodded. "Ok, starting tomorrow, I'll be working at, East side community high school...long name..."
Reese nodded "alright, just be careful."
"It's not the first time I've been out in the field."
"I'm talking about being around those kids."
the corners of Finch's mouth tugged upward in a soft smirk. "It's not my first time teaching either."
Reese just snorted and shook his head, not replying back he sighed "Alright, well, I'm going to go and look for our building jumper some more" Reese said and started to walk out.
"Mr. Reese, she's long gone now."
"I know, but I'm sure someone saw her."
"Be careful."
"I will."
Finch turned back to the computer, a small smile still on his lips, Bear looked at Finch with his cocked slightly. Finch looked at the dog and shook his head.
"Want to go on a walk?"
Bear happily jumped up from his bed and sat beside Finch, his tail wagging frantically. Finch just smiled and got up, grabbing Bear's leash, he hooked the dog up and started to walk out, his mind on something else.
'Mr. Marrs needs both Reese and Shaw, I mean one of his workers was killed and more were injured all in less than ten minutes, this woman, whoever she is, is fast, I can handle a teenager...'
Finch frowned and grimaced once outside, the harsh sunlight hurting his eyes, once his eyes got use to the outside he started to walk down the sidewalk.
'I can handle a teenager...right?'
