"We need to get to the roof, that's where he's reading and if we take him
inside civilians are going to get in the cross-fire." Without waiting, I
shoot a line so I can swing over to the station roof. It's the best place
to lay a trap and we can't afford any mistakes. Not like JJ. I can't let
that happen again.
Flying through the air, I try not to think about it. About how he just kept
pushing and pushing, using Alysia and then the Joker and then Mom to push
me to that edge and over. I try not to think about the anger and betrayal
in Dad's voice when he ordered my capture. But even my usual methods to
calm are failing me. How did it get so far? What did I miss? What could I
have done differently to save both Mom AND JJ?
I land quietly and while waiting for Jason, I hear it. A woman crying from
the far side of the roof, behind a raised ventilation opening that blocked
my earlier view.
DAMN IT. They're already up here. I try to motion to Jason to hold off so I
can try and figure out exactly where Ellis is in the dark before we spook
him, but I don't know if he's going to see the signal in time.
