I opened it hesitatingly. My hands were shaking and my breath was short. Let's just say my past wasn't the greatest.

???? ????????I dropped the file on your desk and fell back into my chair. This whole thing was unreal. A guy, that we have been hunting down for so long, SOMEHOW comes in and out of my office undetected! I knew I should have put up cameras in my office!
I closed my eyes and tilt my head up. I didn't want to open my eyes hoping this was all a bad dream. I didn't know anything about this guy yet he knew almost everything about me. The only thing I knew is that he was male, tall, quite built, and very fast. He was really aggravating and I couldn't stop thinking about him.
I finally started to open my eyes. When I did I saw something odd with the ceiling. There was a faint line in a shape of a square. It was barely noticeable but I had a gift for noticing those types of things. I always had that gift. That's why my mom couldn't hide my toys.
It seemed to be a decent size for someone to get through. I stood up and climbed onto my desk. I wasn't quite that tall to a put some books under me. I was 91 pounds so I knew my desk could support my weight.
I reached up and pushed it open. It was a long, dark tunnel with a small ladder leading to what seemed the roof. I didn't know what might happen if I climbed up but there is only way to find out......sadly.
I reached up and pulled myself off the books. I had pretty good upper body strength so it was quite easy. I had to climb the first couple of rungs with just my hands. Finally I was well in that I could use my feet. What y didn't expect was that once my feet touched the bottom rung, the square covers the hall most liking make it look like it was apart of the ceiling again.
My heart stopped for a moment when I saw a shadow jump over the hold. I took a deep breath and started to climb again. I obviously couldn't go back so I could only go up. The ladder felt like it rusted over so I tried to climb as carefully so it wouldn't suddenly break.
I was out. I was on top of the building and it was beautiful outside. All the stars were out and the city lights didn't get up here. It was quiet relaxing. The view was fantastic. I could see the whole city.
My eyes wondered around the little people, well, little from where I was but my eyes couldn't seem to land on the guy. Maybe he or she wasn't there. They seemed to be in some sort of rush but from what?
While my eyes were scanning the people, my gaze feel upon this one man. He was, what I could tell, charming and looked to be quiet secretive since he was wearing covering cloths. You seemed....drawn to him. Even from up here you felt close.
