Day 14, Part Two
We pulled up to a skyscraper... The three of us got out of the Camaro and stared up at the building.
"This is supposed to be the restaurant closest to where the next Superhuman was last seen,"Jackson said. "We might as well order some food and check out the area when we're done."
We walked inside the skyscraper and took the elevator up to floor 58. Once we stepped out, we were immediately hit with the intoxicating aroma of food. My mind went blank except for the thought of burgers. Jackson was almost drooling. We sat down at a booth next to one of the many windows and ordered. I ordered a burger and fries, Jackson got a steak, and Evan got pizza. I was just about to dig in when I happened to see something out of the corner of my eye. I looked over out the window, and outside standing on a roof about two buildings away was a man, watching us. At the same time, Jackson stood abruptly, looking behind us. He sat down extremely fast, and kicked me and Evan in the legs to get out attention. I looked behind us, and saw that 8 men had just stepped out of the elevators. They all had suits on, but judging from the bulge under their clothes, I could see they were armed with guns. One nudged the guy next to him and nodded in our direction. I muttered a curse under my breath, and tried not to look. I breathed a sigh of relief when the waitress came over.
"Is everything all right?" she asked.
"Everything is great," I lied. "We just forgot we had somewhere to be, so if you don't mind, can we have three to go boxes?"
She said sure and hurried off to grab the to go boxes.
"Who are those guys?" Evan whispered.
"They are hunters," I said. "We think they hunt down people like us, and either kill them or capture them. They are here for us."
"What are we going to do?" Jackson asked.
"They came into that elevator over there,"I said. "I'm guessing that they have more guys downstairs guarding the other elevators in case we try to give them the slip. I really only see two solution. We take the stairs up to floor 60, get to the roof, and jump to the next building, or we can take our chances and try get to the stairs and take them down to floor one."
Evan groaned,"I hate stairs. I vote we go up."
Jackson said,"I say we go up.
I muttered, "This is going to be so much fun..."
