Ride it to the Top!

Despite having to crawl through a tight hole in a fence, it was surprisingly easy to make it to the lift at the back of the building. The only concern Marty had was if anyone would hear the noise of the rusty old thing.

“Oh well, it’s now or never.”

He reached towards the lever that seemed like the “up” switch and pushed it. He heard a metallic groan and felt a sinking sensation as the lift ascended upwards. As he feared, the lift made a large amount of noise as it rattled and clunked it’s way slowly up the building, but no one came to investigate the disturbance.

“They must be used to all the noise by now,” he assumed.

Doubts started to invade his mind as the lift took him closer to the top. Was this really the best idea? He had no clue where they were keeping Blair and Gwen in the building; assuming that they were even in this place. On top of that, he didn’t even know if he could get into the building through the roof. Why was he so determined to save these people he had never met before? Perhaps he was tired of the normality of his the life, the same bored and dull faces that passed him everyday at work, for once he had a chance at an adventure, to do something only people in stories did. There was really no other reason he could think of to risk his life like this.

There was no time to worry any longer though as the lift stopped as it reached its destination. He stepped onto the roof and Marty immediately let out a sigh of relief as he noticed a door at the far end. He wasn’t certain if it was unlocked or not but he could always **** his way through since there was little chance any guards would be all the way up here.

Staying cautious however, he opted to crouch and walk over there, but stopped when he noticed the sunroof. Two sections of the roof were made of glass, and Marty could faintly hear the sound of wet slapping. He just couldn’t tell exactly which roof the sound was coming from.
