"STOP WHERE YOU ARE!!"
A watchman leaned over the top of an upturned cart and shouted through a make-your -voice-louder device.
"Do not move an inch or we will shoot!"
Bob heard a thousand clicks as watchmen all over the street and behind upturned carts, and lying prone on rooftops released the safety catches for their crossbows,. The doors slammed shut behind him. Bob immediately assessed the situation. Every alley was blocked, trolls in the small ones, carts in the larger ones. Watchmen everywhere, even in his domain, the rooftops. He started to back away until he was under the arch at the front of the guild house.
"Now, I think you might have mistaken me for someone else."
He began gathering his luck.
"I haven't done anything illegal, ever. And...." 'Click'
It wasn't even a large sound, but it sent chills down his spine. Maybe it was something to do with the fact that in the building behind him, had been a very large troll, a very large troll, with a very large crossbow, one that had a very large bolt, well either that or a potential fireball.
"Um, okay, so I'm going to get down on the floor now."
He crouched down, and wrapped all the luck he could gather round him, a storm sprung to life.
#Wow, I can feel the luck surging through me, it's more than I've ever gathered before.#
He jumped, and everything slowed into treacle, a boy zoomed through the hail of arrows that came towards where he had been, narrowly missing the massive siege bolt fired by the troll Detritus, a lightning bolt hit the roof of a building in the distance. And Bob felt the world slow to a halt.
Tic-
The perspective revolves around the scene, most of the watchman in the city had just launched a crossbow bolt towards the door, Bob was hovering in mid air, his feet a centimeter from the siege bolt sergeant Detritus had just launched into the building opposite, his hands reaching up
-k tock
The world started back up again, and Bob grabbed hold of the roof support with his hands, he swung over the top, and landed kin the small recess between the ceiling and the roof.
He sprinted for the small gap in between the walls which led down to the sewers, he'd pay for this later he knew, but him and Boo where leaving Ankh- Morpork, now that the watch was after him, he reached the gap, heard a sound, turned around, and.
"Thud"
A cosh hit him on the back of the head as Commander Vimes stepped out of the shadows.
"You're mine now, Mr. Bobson."
