[QUOTE="talien, post: 4548766, member: 3285"] [b]An Outbreak of Alchemy: Part 8 – Die Hardly[/b] Hammer looked around in desperation. Security would be on the roof any second and there was nowhere left to go. Fortunately, someone had conveniently left a mini-copter on the roof. He suspected it was for Ko, and that his original plans were to escape that way. Unfortunately, he didn't know how to fly a chopper. Hammer considered struggling with the controls. If he tied it to the roof and got the rotors going, maybe he could crash it into the building… That was too ridiculous, even for him. Instead, Hammer pulled a knife out of his boot and stabbed the gas tank. Gas spilled all along the roof. Looking about, Hammer spotted a fire hose and unspooled it. He tied it around his waist. If it worked for Bruce Willis, it might work for him… Hammer lit a match and tossed it onto the spreading pool of gas. Then he dove over the side of the Equitech building. The tough rubber of the hose shrieked as it slithered over the edge of the building's roof. Hammer prayed it would hold. And then it did. It was like someone had wrenched him in half. Hammer realized what a stupid idea his plan was as the explosion above him set off a shockwave, which was counterbalanced by the hideous winds at over forty stories up. He spun around like a rag doll on a string, and for a moment all he could do was just keep his arms and hands out and hope he wasn't going to hit anything hard. To his surprise, he flew through an open window. There was no such thing as an open window in a skyscraper. Someone had broken the window before Hammer got there. The hose caught the edge of the window and hurled Hammer up towards the ceiling. He bounced off of it with his feet, but the momentum was surely going to drag him straight back out into the abyss… He hit something soft that grunted, followed by a distant scream. Hammer landed on his feet and quickly undid the hose around his waist. Guards were lying on the floor, coughing and wheezing. Hammer guessed what had stopped his fall was another security guard who had stumbled to his feet. He didn't bother to look out the window. He raced to the top of the stairs, only to see Dawn Biozyme’s security lined up with pistols at the bottom. Hammer didn't stop his stride as he flipped himself up and over, firing both Glocks downwards. Some guards were hit. Most of them were still firing at the top of the steps. Hammer landed behind them and plunged through the door. Then the fire alarm went off and sprinklers descended from the ceiling. Techs, already on edge, broke out into screams and dove for cover. Hammer balked at the elevator. Someone had wedge it open and cut the cables. Cursing Jim-Bean under his breath, he headed for the stairs. [/QUOTE]
