“Archer and Foster encountered eleven stragglers walking down as they headed up, none of them their friends from the street but each giving them an unpleasant moment when they appeared. Despite his age, Foster was in good cardiovascular shape and set a brisk pace. By the time they arrived on 17, both men were breathing hard, their thighs burning. When they made it to 22, they both needed a few moments to catch their breath. Pulling open the stairwell door to 22, they quickly cleared the corr...idor and found another door halfway along, the entrance to the roof. Archer pulled it back and Foster took the lead, moving up a short flight of steps and taking a deep breath of night air, Archer following close behind. It was a flat roof, constructed with reinforced concrete and covered in loose grit with just a brick ledge acting as a perimeter. There was some trash, empty beer cans and cigarette butts scattered on the surface, and it smelt of old tar softened by the daytime sun.MoreLessRead More Read Less
