Trust fall

"I knew this was a bad idea!" Caitlyn groaned as she and the other three looked up at Isabella, the woman practically hanging on the edge of the windowsill by her fingernails.

"Guys! Help! Please!" Isabella yelped as she looked down at her friends, fear in her voice as she attempted to keep her voice down. "I'm afraid of heights!"

"Then why did you volunteer to - You know what?! I don’t care!" Dana snapped, "Just calm down. Do you have a ladder or something?"

"Yes, but it's in the garage." Isabella replied, "As in, we have to get in and grab it."

"Okay, just jump down onto the trampoline and we'll -" Caitlyn began, but was quickly interrupted.

"Are you crazy?! I'm not gonna jump!"

"We'll catch you, Izzy!" Alice exclaimed. "Just jump onto the trampoline and we'll catch you on three. Okay?"

"I'm not going to jump!" Isabella shouted.

"Yes you are!" Dana snapped.

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!"

"No I'm -"

"Excuse me!" Mr. Brindelwall interrupted, "Can we just get the abridged version of this part of the story, please?"

"Right, sorry." Isabella said with a sheepish laugh before clearing her throat. "Anyway..."

"You can either jump or stay up there until the police get here! Your pick!" Dana challenged as she pointed to the trampoline.

"... ... ..." Isabella gulped as she briefly looked upwards. "God, please protect my body. One... Two... Three!"

Isabella jumped with a yell as she landed on the trampoline and bounced forward...

Crashing into Dana as she knocked the latter over, knocking the wind out of Dana as Isabella ended up straddling her. Isabella looked herself over before letting out a nervous laugh. "I'm alive! I'M ALIVE!"

"Not for long if you don't get off me..." Dana wheezed with a growl as she glared up at Isabella. "Right. Now!"

Isabella yelped as she got to her feet, chuckling sheepishly as Dana dusted herself off. "Thanks for catching me, Dana."

"You can thank me later." Dana said as she stood up, "Right now, we have to find another way -"

"Uh, guys? Is that what I think it is?" Alice squeaked as the distant sound of police sirens reached their ears.

"Run!" Isabella yelled as the four bolted down the street. The four continued to run as the sirens got louder, looking around for any place to hide.

"Quick! In there!" Dana called out as they arrived at a house with a delivery truck out front, the back of the truck opened as the four climbed inside and hid behind some boxes.

"Are you sure we'll be safe here?" Alice asked.

"Only if Izzy here doesn't do anything stupid." Dana muttered.

Isabella was about to say something when the back of the delivery truck slammed closed before the sound of the engine was heard, the truck beginning to drive forward.

"Only if I do anything stupid?"

"Shut up!"
