Excerpt:
I heard shots being fired from below. They were aiming at the helicopter or the guy
that landed on the scaffolding above me.
The sign offered some level of protection, but they'd move into position
directly below shortly. "It's ok,
miss, we'll have you out of here in a jiff.
Are you hurt?" The man began
to wiggle through the bars, which was no small feat because he was wearing some
sort of heavy armor.
He reached down toward me, and I hesitated, terrified of grabbing
that hand and leaving my life behind. He
clenched his teeth in frustration and urged me, "Come on, miss! Just take my hand."
Gunfire from below decided for me. I lifted my good arm, and he latched onto
me. As he jerked me upwards, pain shot through
my shoulder and abdomen. I gave up life
and slipped into darkness.
