Azid opened the door of the room where they had been holding Jackie prisoner to get her ready for the awakening. He was startled to find her gone. His first reaction was to run to the window, where he discovered the makeshift bridge.
“Oh shit,” he said aloud. “Jamal's going to go berserk.”
He ran from the room to find Jamal. “Jamal, the bitch is gone.”
“What? How the hell did she get by us?”
“I don't know. It looks like someone helped her go through the window. They crossed over and went out through the house next door.”
Jamal stood up. His fists were balled and a vein stood out in his forehead.
“I want you to get everybody out on the street and find them!” he ordered vehemently.
Azid spun around and started calling everyone, telling them to find a white girl who would probably be running around without any clothes. He told them she was probably with somebody, but he didn't know who.
