As quickly as it had come the pain left. She blinked her eyes a few times but still saw nothing but blank, oh god she though trying to suppress her panic I’m blind! She blinked again and the ground slowly began to come into focus, she wasn’t blind but she was kneeling on the sidewalk in the middle of a black out.
The city had only been black for a few minutes but already she could hear distant sirens and alarms. She shouldn’t be out here alone, New York was dangerous on the best of days but in a black out it was deadly.
She rose to her feet dusting herself off quickly and started out at a brisk pace all thoughts of the future and her nightmares forgotten temporarily pushed aside. Damn why had she wandered so far from home, she should have stayed in bed with Mikey! She rounded the corner and spotted a phone a few feet ahead, she ducked inside quickly rummaging in her pocket for a quarter.
She found the desired coin and picked up the receiver, dead. She kept walking trying each phone as she went, whatever had caused the black out had apparently knocked out the phone lines as well.
She rounded the corner and ducked into the alley, there it was just at the far end of the alley the grate that would take her home, she felt relieved just a few more minutes and she would be safe and sound snuggled in bed with Mikey.
The sound of shattering glass interrupted her thoughts, damn it all to hell! The crash was followed by screaming and clanging all of which seemed to be moving in her general direction.
She looked around the alley for a hiding spot and found none, shit! She cursed inwardly what am I gonna do now?! She knew they would reach the manhole before her.
The sounds were growing closer to her , she could almost make out shadowy figures at the other end of the alley , she only had a few second left before they would see her too.
A dozen men entered the alley carrying various items which they had no doubt looted. They were gang members judging by the tattoos and clothes, rough around the edges , smelling slightly of booze.
Their heavy boots clunked dully on the manhole cover as they passed.
“Yo Vinny” A faceless voice called pausing were he stood.
“You here somethin?” The voice continued.
“Yeah I hear your lips flappin!” Another voice answered , this was followed by laughter and snorts of approval.
Julie held her breath, not daring to move, her foot dangled just a few inches above the questioning mans head. She had attempted to make a get away by climbing the fire escape above where she had been standing but found she only had enough time to pull herself part of the way up before they had come too close.
“Na seriously” The man continued “ I heard somethin”
She prayed silently that he would not look up and that the shadows there were dense enough to hide her. And they were after a moment of arguing they began to move off down the alley at a leisurely pace.
Inwardly she released a deep breath, that was too close! She swung her legs up and began to complete her climb onto the fire escape, she needed a minute to let the adrenaline drain away before she moved on.
Her boot made little to no sound as it connected with the steel, smooth and silent she thought mentally congratulating herself before she felt something slip from her pocket. The sleeping pills hit the alley bellow with a soft thud and a rustle of plastic, and there she was hanging precariously from the fire escape.
“Told ya I heard somethin”
Damn she scrambled onto the fire escape as fast as she could , she began to run up the stairs as quickly as the angle would allow. The man who had heard her was currently starting to climb after her , his companions called to him to let her go that they had better things to do. She cringed as she heard him say something lewd back, damn she cursed why do I have to be so hot?
She reached the roof at a speed that surprised even her, she glanced around. This was not a good place to make a get away all the surrounding building were too far away for her to jump to …. She was trapped.
She could hear him clambering up after her , she needed to hide. She spotted a shadow remote corner and dashed for it, she turned quickly and slowly backed into the blackness as her pursuer lumbered onto the rough.
As she backed deeper into the shadows her back connected with something hard, two arms reached out and pulled her back into the folds of an oversized trench coat. She could have cried with relief as she relaxed back against him , she wasn’t sure how he had found her and she didn’t care.
She watched the thug peer around looking for her for several minutes before giving up and lumbering back down the way he had came. She couldn’t believe he hadn’t bothered to look more carefully after making the effort to climb up there but it was in her favor so she didn’t care.
She smiled to herself as she swung around to face the turtle holding her, she had planned to say something spunky and then take him home to bed but her words died on her lips as she looked up into his eyes and saw that one of them was missing, the socket sewn shut.
