Chapter 44: The Undeliverable Delivery (III)
You hesitate for just a moment, and then choose to jump over.
During your time as a soldier, you were always at the top of the "climbing over obstacles" training programme, and you have demonstrated this to new recruits on many occasions. You are very confident in your "climbing" ability, and you believe that this is not beyond your ability.
You instructed the old man to go downstairs and wait for the police, while you climbed agilely over the air conditioning frame of the balcony.
You have just climbed onto the other balcony when you see a middle-aged man also running towards the balcony carrying a rope and a bundle, as if to escape from the balcony.
You meet him straight away, he's dark and hostile, not a nice guy.
When you try to climb in through the balcony window, he immediately rushes towards you with a grimace. You were so upset that you tried to pass through the window immediately, but the man pushed you out of the window in a desperate attempt!
You feel the dizziness of weightlessness and the fear of a rapid fall.
Fear fuels your adrenaline and makes you concentrate so hard that in the nick of time, you grab onto the third floor balcony netting with your arm strength and reflexes and hang on for dear life.
You are hanging on the third floor balcony, looking around, trying to find a way to save yourself, with great concern for the safety of the girl upstairs.
