Table 7, #19 - Cat-like Feet
“Shit, he’s going up,” Montoya shouted, taking off at a run for the stairs even as Duo dived for the window, and up the fire escape - there wasn’t a perp alive that could outrun him in his element.
One riser from the rooftop, Duo caught their suspect’s leg and pulled, jerking him off his feet, but not before the man shoved back, knocking Duo from his; the slide down the metal steps was rough, but Duo was back up in a moment, hauling himself to his feet using the handrails, and charging up the rungs of the ladder-like structure. The man had gained the roof and was off like a rabbit in a greyhound race, Duo hot on his heels, and right behind, Montoya burst through the roof door, instantly joining the chase.
The roof’s edge in sight, Montoya shouted warning, the perp jumped regardless, and without thought, Duo followed; landing in a roll, Duo was on his feet and reaching for the building’s ledge, and the suspect’s hands. Fingers bleeding with nails cracked, the man was shouting, pleading to be pulled to safety - Duo hauled him up, cuffed him, and sat on his back, catching his breath and waiting for their back up to arrive.
