Alex darted across the roof tops of Jerusalem, a triumphant grin splitting across her face; she couldn't believe the guards were actually oblivious enough to run right past the roof garden she had thrown herself into only moments before and miss the sound of her leaping out and running the other way.
"Heh heh," she snickered, "people are stupi- Aagh!" she cut off with a yelp as she stepped through a hole in the roof.
A loud thud resonated through the building as she landed face-first on the floor below, butt in the air.
'Okay, ow.' Alex thought as she pushed herself up to her hands and knees, 'I'm so glad Rachel wasn't here to see that. She would never let me live that down!'
"That was quite the entrance. You sound more and more like a novice every time you come here." a voice called from the adjacent room.
'Wait, what? Not good.' Alex glanced towards the door, then slowly got to her feet and snuck towards a wall with a fountain built in, hoping to climb it to reach the ledge of the roof before whoever was inside came out and saw her.

"Uh, yeah..." she growled out in the lowest man-voice she could muster.
The shadow stopped, and Alex released a silent breath of relief before resuming her attempt to climb the fountain.
"Altair, are you unwell? Your voice is strange sounding today." Alex's eyes widened as the shadow started towards the doorway again.
"Um, yes! Don't come in, I'm deathly ill... and highly contagious!" she let out a few loud coughs and hacks to emphasize her point. "Could keel over any second now... I'll go die in a haystack so I won't bother you, bye!" she called as she once again attempted to scramble up the fountain, only to slip and fall into the water. "You have got to be kidding me! She yelled, forgetting to keep her voice in check.
"oh shit..."
