Escape

"Are you sure about this?" Todd asks glancing out the attic window. "It's either that or we become part of rubble." Olivia shouts over the violent sledgehammers. "It's just so far down." Olivia looks out the window. "It's not as far as you think. They leveled off most of the chain, so we are much closer to the ground then we were previously." Todd gulps. "So, how do we get down?" "The roof is slanted. We'll slide for a little bit. Then  we'll grab on to the gutter and we'll drop from there." "Ok." Their escaped starts off smoothly. However, when they start to slide down the roof, not only is it much faster than anticipated (shingles fly off) but the gutter is  missing. There is nothing to stop them. They speed off the edge of the roof and fall 5 feet onto a hard, linoleum floor. They gradually get up, brushing off bits of rubble from their bruised bodies. "Watch out!" Todd shouts. Olivia looks up in time to see O'Neil wielding a sledgehammer. She quickly throws up her bubble before he can inflict any damage. The sledgehammer bounces off Olivia's bubble and throws O'Neil back. "What the fuck is going on?" She cries. "You'll have to excuse my inferior .He's not bright." An approaching voice says. Olivia turns her head to see Sgt. Rodgers walking her way. "Who are you?" Olivia asks. "Sergeant Rodgers?" "Sergeant Rodgers, what's going on?" "All a misunderstanding, I'm afraid." "That's an understatement." She mutters. "You can disarm yourself now." Sgt Rodgers says. "I'd rather not." "Suit yourself. I have your friend by the way." "What did you do to him?" Olivia asks, angrily. "Just asking questions. I was hoping you could fill in the blanks." "Me?" She questions. "Yes, and him as well." She says, pointing to Todd.
