Mile High in the Mile High

Well, one good thing about what I am doing, is that I get to see a lot of the country. I get a new letter from Level 37. I need to get a package from the stairwell on the 50th floor of a building in Denver.
I press my thumb on the letter, and off we go. Meet Jerome at 2:07 am.
 
I get there early to scout around. After making my way up the building across the street, I begin watching to see if there is an easy way in.
 
Just about 2 am, I notice a flyer drop down and begin messing with the doors. What a Noob, those doors wouldn’t be unlocked at this time of night. Most of the lights are off in the building. I ‘walk’ across the air to be behind the person at the doors. I make sure that I’m insubstantial just in case this is some IERA agent or LFER agent. Not a good idea to get shot down while flying. The fall doesn’t kill you, it’s the sudden stop at the end that does the trick. And from 50 floors, that would be a painful sudden stop.
 
I make the hand gesture for Level 37, but in reverse, just to be safe. Don’t want to give away all our tricks if this is an IERA agent. It could be one of those LFER jokers too. At least they kinda have their thoughts in the right direction.
 
No go on the call sign, so definitely not a level 37 member. At least I don’t have to train this one on B and E. I toss a field of energy at her, and she dodges out of the way.
 
She cracks her knuckles and says something about fighting. Ok, she wants to swing, I’ll swing. She’s obviously some ‘powered’ wanna be, so I respond “So, you want to Rumble? Let’s Rumble.” I dense up and put it all behind my swing.
 
Man, that felt sweet. Nice right cross to the chin. She goes flying back through the brick wall and into the building. Well, there goes the quiet stealthy approach. I follow her through the hole in the wall and look down at her on the ground. I shake my head, it's got ta be a LFER, not IERA. The IERA is better trained than that. I whisper over her, “You’re too dense to move, sweetheart. Just lay there and sleep.” I then walk through the wall behind her.
 
Well, if I needed a bathroom break, I went to the right place. As I step through the next set of walls, looking for the stairwell, there is a custodian about to walk into the bathroom. He makes a call over his radio. I swipe at it to mess it up, but my hand passes through it and him. I know that I’ve messed with electronics before, but I must have been solid when I did that. Something to try out some other time. Better to move on quickly.
 
A female custodian screams something in Spanish about “Dios”. So, either two or praying to God. She runs away from me, and I hear a door open. I follow her around and, thanks lady, you showed me the stairs.
 
As I step into the stairs, there’s a guard coming down the stairs from the floor above. He asks me what I’m doing in there. “Are you Jerome?” Surprisingly he replies that “No, I’m Samwise” He don’t look like no hobbit, but what do I know. He tells me to stop, and he calls over his radio about an intruder.
 
This job has gone south pretty quickly. I step back behind me and luckily into the elevator shaft. The elevator is making its way up the shaft. I’ll wait here for it to get to me. Suddenly, I notice that some sort of force slices through the cables moving the elevator. Great, someone else to mess with.
 
Naw no sense getting into another fight tonight. I’m hoping that the person in the elevator is Jerome. I dive down the shaft towards the car. The emergency breaks catch the car about halfway between two floors.
I land on the top of the car and stick my head down through. “You Jerome?” The guy stammers for a second, then gives part of the pass code. I give the counter sign and he sighs. “You got the package?” He says that yes, he does, but it’s now too hot for him here, and he wants out. Not really part of the mission, but I can't leave a fellow 37 in harms way.
 
I drop on into the car, and dense up and pull the inner doors open. I then reach up and open the outer doors to the floor above where we are. That’s the easiest way out. I climb up and stick my hand in to pull him up and out. He hands me the canisters, and I attach them to my belt to free my hands. “Climb on, and out we go.”
 
Jerome climbs on my back and I grab an arm to help hold him in place. With my free arm I punch the window, so we have a way out. I hear a noise in the stairwell just as we’re walking out of the window. Jerome says some IERA agent just came out of the stairs and ran over to the window.
 
“Thanks for the notice. Hang on tight, and up we go.”
 
I head up a bit higher and move around the corner of the building before heading back down to the ground.
 
“Ok, Jerome. Here’s your stop. I hope you know how to get to the safe house in Denver, because that’s above my pay grade. Thanks for the package. Good luck buddy.”
I turn and walk away from him. I find some shadows and deactivate my suit and pull my hoodie up over my head and head to my exit point.
