Colton’s perspective

Colton dashed around the corner in time to see Manabu crashing through the door, he fired twice but missed. Manabu quickly regained composure and began running up the flight of stairs. Colton followed in quick pursuit, counting the floor he was on. Soon enough he had passed the tenth floor. Typical he thought, that the “little fether” would choose the tallest building on the block. He fired up the stairway, this time skimming Manabu’s arm making him grunt in pain.

“Got you, you little fether!” Colton laughed.

He reached the top of the stairs; the door to the roof was swinging in the wind. He slowed his pace to a cautious walk as he stepped through the door. He could see the towns clock tower in the distance, and the sun behind making its slow crawl to the top of the sky.

Colton scanned the roof quickly, he realised too late that Manabu was behind him. A kick to the head sent Colton to the ground, his gun tumbling over the roof edge. Colton rolled onto his feet, blocking another kick thrown at him; he quickly counted with a flurry of punches to Manabu’s face. He grabbed Manabu and kneed him repeatedly in the stomach.

A sharp pain shot through Colton’s thigh, forcing him to release Manabu. A small knife was sticking out of his thigh, before he could think; Manabu was throwing punches and kicks like a tornado, forcing Colton on the defensive. Colton took hit after hit and then he saw his chance. Manabu threw a sluggish roundhouse kick; giving Colton the time to grab it and kick his other leg out from underneath him.
