Roof top run
Steve POV
I opened the door that lead to the roof slowly. It hit the rail behind it and I put my gun out, clearing the area. When I saw nothing, I quickly ran down the stairs, my team and Gabriel not trailing far behind. I ran out to check around the corner I couldn't see and then put my gun away when I found nothing. I turned and ran back towards my group.
As Chin shoved Gabriel past me telling him to go, I spotted metal shingles behind Danny and grabbed them. "What are you doing?" Danny asked as I picked up the shingle and ran up the stairs. Sliding it under the doorknob, I turned back to the end of it and kicked it between the pull. I could hear Chin still trying to get a hold of Abby and I didn't know if she was alive or not. "Abby, the exfil's been moved to the roof. Do you copy?...Abby! Do you copy?" I could hear him, worry filling his voice. It took a lot to upset Chin, he was so chill otherwise but when it came to us, his ohana, the man could be a whole different person.
I thought about escape routes while I lifted a cement block onto the end of the shingle. I walked past Gabriel who was sitting on the ground and put my hand to my forehead rubbing it gently. "Still no word from Abby. We gotta go back!" Chin said, his forehead creased in worry "I wouldn't too much about her, Chin. I'm sure she's fine." Gabriel said, sounding annoyed. "Hey! What'd I tell you about talking?!" Kono said, defending her cousin by pointing her gun at him. Gabriel just stared up, obviously annoyed at her.
I turned my head to the right and heard Danny sigh. "I'll go back with you Chin." "I'm not risking Abby's life for his." Kono said angrily. I got fed up of everyone fighting so I shouted, "Nobody is! Nobody is, ok? But no one's going anywhere. We're going to stay together," Chin turned away, his jaw clenching and unclenching, but I just continued, "Stay on this rooftop. We leave this rooftop, we lose the only tactical advantage that we have." Everyone was staring at me, their expressions unreadable. "We stick together, we wait for Grover, all right?" I said, turned to look at Chin, "Chin, I promise you, we're not going to leave Abby behind." "Alright." "Alright?"
"Grover you copy?" Chin said looking at the ground. "Yea, I copy." Came Lou's voice through our ear pieces. "What's your ETA?" "About five minutes out. Hang on, we're coming to get you!" Lou's voice crackled. I was pacing when Lou shouted through the radios. "We're taking fire!" "Lou. Lou!" I shouted. "They had to know help was coming." Danny said antsy. "Ok. Alright. We're on our own. Check in, Ammo report. What do you got?" I said, taking matters into my hands again. "Low." Kono said. "Very, very low." Danny said walking towards us. "Same." Chin said.
I took out the radio that I took from one of the men downstairs and held it up as they were saying something. "Access to the roof is off the south stairs." "Copy." Another one said. "They know we're up here." I said, relating flooding my thoughts. "We can't hold them back." Kono said, looking at me. I ran to the edge of the roof as I heard Danny and Chin following me. "You got him?" Chin asked to Kono as he jogged my way. "Yea."
I looked over the edge, my gun pointed down to check for men. Danny holstered his gun and looked over the edge. The gap didn't seem far so I made a decision. "Alright. We're gonna jump." "What'd you just say?" Danny asked, worry in his voice. "Excuse me?" He said again. "Jump. We're gonna jump." Kono looked back at me as I ran towards them. "What do you mean jump? We can't jump. It's ten feet across!" Danny pointed his hand towards the edge, looking at me. I looked at him, my face tight, and said, "It's the only way off this thing." Everyone looked at me as if I was joking. "Besides. This building is taller than that building. It's gonna cut the jump by like, 3 feet." "Oh really? Really, Doctor? Well, I'm not so sure about you mathematics, Steve." Danny said getting angry. "Would you trust me for once in your life?" I snapped back. "Trust you?" Danny said looking Contempt. "We might be able to make that jump. There's no way he can." Chin interrupted and pointed to Gabriel. I turned to look at him and said, "We'll he has to." "I can do it." Gabriel said. "Doubtful." Kono said annoyed. "Look at it this way. I come up short, I die. You get what you want. I make it…" Gabriel took a breath through his nose. "You take me to prison. You still get what you want." He said looking at Chin.
