pushed rapidly until he was able to haul himself up and over, onto the ledge.
“Oh come on,” he muttered aloud, his eyes drawn to the building below him just in time to see one of the Agents launch his partner up and toward the building Justin currently lay upon, giving him much more height.
It also meant he was vulnerable.
Justin wasn’t willing to kill them in daylight, and he stuck to that, hoping to find another way to evade them. But the Agent had enough height that he was going to clear the lip that Justin was on and land on the gravel roof two feet down.
All Justin had to do was bunch his legs up, and as the Agent passed next to him, kick out.
There was nothing the man could do besides grab at Justin’s legs, but there was no hope of him finding enough purchase there. The enemy Agent went tumbling across the roof until he connected solidly with the lip over there, his head slamming into the stone.
He had hoped it would buy him some time, but the Agent just shook his head and leapt to his feet, eyes focused on Justin.
Behind him, the first Agent leapt across the distance, following Justin’s path as he grabbed onto the lip and began to pull himself over.
“Oh come on,” he muttered. “Do you guys ever give up?” he asked under his breath before taking off again.
The straight line between buildings that he had been taking ended, and Justin was forced to go to the right. The building he was on seemed to be a long one. He was able to go quite some distance before being forced to leap to the next building, which thankfully was the same four stories as the one he was currently on. Behind him the Agents continued to pursue him. Justin was starting to breathe a bit more heavily now as the chase continued from rooftop to rooftop.
It dawned on him, as he had to make another right turn to continue having a building to jump to, that he was heading back the way he had come. Not good. This was going to lead them to Shay if they continued.
Assuming she’s still there. By now she’s likely realized that I’m long gone, and isn’t going to stick around.
He wondered if she would even still be at the same hotel when he finally had a moment to contact her.
If I were her, I’d be finding somewhere else, somewhere where I can’t get drawn into this world.
Part of him hoped Shay would do that so that she would be safe, even if it meant he would never see her again.
Shaking his head, Justin realized he had allowed himself to be distracted. As hands wrapped around his midsection, taking him down, he realized it might have been a fatal distraction. The Agent tackled him hard, and the two of them went down, bouncing across the roof. Bits and pieces of metal that he had avoided while running slammed into his body, and then the Agents as they began to roll, opening cuts on both of them.
Justin grunted in pain as it was his body that slammed hard into the raised lip around the roof, bringing the pair to a halt with bone-jarring swiftness. The Agent’s body used him as a landing pad, adding insult to injury as he tried to rise, ignoring the cries of pain from a dozen parts of his body.
The Agent rose even swifter, seeming to have come out ahead. He grabbed Justin by the collar, shook him violently with his extreme strength that had been enhanced by the blood of a shifter, and then hurled the Sentinel over the edge of the roof.

Justin shouted out in surprise, and possibly just a bit of terror as his feet caught on the edge of the roof, imparting a spin to his fall.
He reached out, managing to snag the fire escape, but the flimsy metal gave out under his strength and the pull of his weight, and he continued to fall. His head slammed off another piece of railing, shooting stars across his vision and spinning him faster.
Then he hit the ground, which to his surprise gave out under him. It was only after the stars began to clear from his vision that he realized someone must have been watching over him. He had
