Secret Identity (2008)
“Hoover's truck was still there.
Wa-hoo!
I strapped on my pack, jumped in the back, and climbed on the cab roof. The metal buckled a little under my feet.
Oops.
I lifted one foot onto the computer lab's power panel.
I grabbed the pipe.
I pulled myself up!
Then I just stood there, flat against the wall. If the truck wasn't there, I'd be in trouble. It was a long way down!
Okay, I told myself, get moving.
I reached for the air conditioner with one hand and held on to the pipe with the other. It wa...s farther away than it looked from the ground. Higher up, too.
Don't look down, I told myself. Don't look down.
I glued my eyes to the air conditioner. My right hand had a good grip over the top of it, and I was about to go for it when I felt something tickling my hand.
It was creepy.
Crawly.
And the next thing I knew, a big black spider was dive-bombing me from the air conditioner.
“Aaarrgh!”
I swatted, I shook. I panicked, I slipped. And when it was all over, the spider had disappeared and I was hanging on to the pipe, scared out of my mind.MoreLess
