NITA'S P.O.V

I make my way to the rooftop towards the helipad, where I see Phoenix, Brad and an angry looking Skye already seated in the helicopter.

"Nita, you made it! Lets skidaddle! Brad, hop in. Put your headphones on!"

As I walk into the helicopter, Phoenix hands me headphones to put on. And so I do.

"You can fly a helicopter?" If I knew I was gonna be taught these things, heck, I would've stayed!

"Yea, learnt how to about 2 years ago,"

We took off into the night.

The New York/Brooklyn skyline was beautiful, the dark hiding all the secrets hidden in the streets, and the lights illuminating the high life and enjoyment of this great city.

"Hey Nita, put this harness on. If you tilt out the door a bit, you can see better,"

"Are you sure that's safe?" It is SKYE after all.

"Yea, yea, I'll join you,"

"Sounds risky, but... okay,"

I attach the harness onto my body securely and hang out the window, the lights illuminating my face, spreading light through every crevice of my soul. This is a Titanic moment for sure.

"As ta la vista, bebe!"

I was pushed out the same time my harness was pulled off. I was free falling, spiralling through the air, meeting the dark creatures of the night face to face, to make it even worse, the night was thick with smog. Why did I look out with Skye of all people?

*THUD* *THUD*

Then everything goes black.
