Jalany cursed herself for forgetting about the fire escape, but sped across the roof anyway, heading for the office building next door.  Being the middle of the night, the building would be empty.  If she could get inside, she might be able to hide long enough to call for help. If not, it was an older building and she could head down the fire escape as she originally planned.<br/><br/>She came to the edge of the building and never slowed.  She took the jump at a dead run and held her breath until she hit the other side.
