Setting: As Vincent climbs to escape, the tension reaches its peak with danger looming.
With a fierce determination, Vincent glanced around, assessing the situation. “I’ll be right behind you!” he promised, turning back to fire at the men charging towards him.
As he began to climb up, he felt a sharp pain in his side—a bullet had grazed him. Ignoring it, he continued to push upward, adrenaline masking the pain.
“Vincent, hurry!” Elena shouted from above, her voice filled with urgency.
With one final effort, he pulled himself into the window, gasping for breath as he tumbled onto the rooftop beside Elena.
“We made it!” she exclaimed, relief flooding her expression. But the victory was short-lived as they heard footsteps approaching from the stairwell below.
“We need to move,” Vincent said, his voice low and urgent. They dashed to the edge of the rooftop, peering down at the alley below. “It’s a long drop.”
“I’ll go first,” Elena suggested, ready to make the leap.
“Wait!” Vincent held her back. “We need to be smart about this.”
