Sitting in this cell makes me ponder, will I ever be able to grasp the shining light again that will lead to my freedom once more? Will I ever be able to skip around with grace? Will I ever be able to glide with joy? Will I ever be able to escape as I did on that night?

Getting Waldo up the roof was a great feat; alas, the lawmen were already covering the rooftops, “can you walk” I asked Waldo to which he responds with a nod. We began to leap from one rooftop to the other listening to Paul’s callouts to stay out of sight. Upon the rooftop, we hid behind a water tank to catch our breath and replanning. However, he again emerged to foil our plans, “Get out from cover, there is no place left for you to hide” declared the man. A metallic click echoes on the rooftop, a gun. Ready to show myself Waldo stopped me, “no hand me the gem, you go find a different path” he whispered to me, without a plan in mind I follow his directions. Waldo emerged from the small cover holding the Star by squeezing it between his chest and arms allowing him to clap his hands,

“Mr. Kogoro, I didn’t expect to see you so soon again.”

“Don’t take me for a fool Arshan, I was never down there, to begin with”

Waldo turns his head, puzzled

“A stunt double, one with a sharp aim, just in case you know my background; however, it seems that I was overprepared for you do not know who I am. Nevertheless, tonight shall be the night the curtain falls.” He aimed his gun at Waldo.

“By law, I have been given the right to take your life away, but don’t fret I will make this bullet only obstruct your escape. I ask you don't move, do not want to hit a vital spot”

I hope you didn’t think I sat there idle… I used this opportunity to climb on the building’s edge circling it, now behind Kogoro

I lean my head into the Phantom Talki, “Arshan if you can hear me clear your throat”

Ahem

“Alright good, I have a plan just keep him distracted”

While Waldo was conversing with Kogoro I snuck up behind him and slowly with every bit of caution begin to unload the gun. Knocking out the gun from his hand will be too risky either Waldo or I will be in great danger. As well as the fact if Arshan Yuured is found to have accomplices that will make it harder for us to keep cover.

Done, I signaled to Waldo and hid back to cover

“Now, it was a great pleasure knowing you Mr. Kogoro, but I must leave now, goodbye!”

Waldo dashed across the rooftop, “I warned you! Huh?”

He turns his head down at the gun and noticed the bullets I gently placed; however, by the time he realized that Waldo was already at the roofs ahead. He turns towards Kogoro and bows before leaping off, and to make my escape
