Thank God It's Not Friday - Zack

Location: Unfinished L.E.A.P* , London, England, UK.  

---

Zack’s fingers were straining to retain its grip as he muscle-uped* his way off the ledge and onto the roof of the fake  building.  He rolled a couple of inches closer to the center before getting off and brushing himself off. It was only because Zack was an ACME agent that the owner of L.E.A.P. allowed him to used the already finished portion of the park for his training.   Also, the owner was an old acquaintance of his, and knowing that Zack had taken a serious interest in parkour and owed him one, he was more than happy to allow the younger half of the Monaghan duo some time in the park. Zack’s palms were getting sweaty, he had been at the park for hours and his breathing was starting to become slightly laboured.  He looked at himself, his white shirt and blue shorts full of dust. His bare feet were starting to turn red and raw from all the training he was doing. Zack glanced at this next destination - another rooftop, thirty feet away, and ten feet higher. He walked over to the center of the rooftop that he was on and closed his eyes and concentrated on his primary target.  He allowed himself to imagine himself easily getting onto the rooftop with a cat leap. When he opened his eyes, they were focused, and his body acted in a single fluid motion. Within seconds, his feet had kicked off of the ledge. His lower legs were slightly bent  and his hands were in a claw- like position. His feet hit the wall first, absorbing the impact while his hands caught the ledge.  He pulled himself up onto the second rooftop.
Success.
He smiled and sighed happily before commencing his decent. Fortunately for him, there were three consecutive artificial rooftops dropping about ten to fifteen feet in between each, and there were no gaps.  Zack walked up to the ledge that was adjacent to the first of the three rooftops, and propelled his body over the ledge, while still gripping on to it. Once he stabilized himself, he safely dropped to the rooftop, and did falling roll upon impact. He repeated this until he was on the ground. Then he heard something.  It was a familiar,  and absolutely torturous.

♪♫ “7am waking up in the morning, gotta get dressed gotta go downstairs. ” ♪♫

Zack’s left eye began to twitch. This was one of the few songs that he couldn’t stand, and he needed to stop the source of the music, and fast.  His eyes followed what his ears heard and saw at the tallest usable rooftop, a flashing light.  
“That’s weird... there was no one else here but me...”, he murmered to himself, “It’s probably a cell phone... whomever made that their ringtone needs some new taste in music...”

Getting there was not all that simple.  With just using some muscle-ups and cat jumps, he was able to get back to the second highest rooftop - the one he had cat jumped onto earlier.  He faced the tallest rooftop, which was only another ten or so feet higher, yet it was at least triple that in distance.  Fortunatley, there was a smaller roof top, halfway in distance and only five feet higher than his current height.

Zack cracked his knuckles.

“Time to be a Cat and King Kong this.”

He backed as far as back as possible and ran forward and propelled himself off of the ledge.

♪♫ “It’s Friday, Friday, Gotta get down on Friday!” ♪♫

With a safe cat leap to the middle platform, he pulled himself upward slightly differently.  He actually propelled himself slightly higher so when he landed on the smaller rooftop, he was able to quickly run and propel himself again while still on all fours, before landing another successful Cat Jump on the highest ledge.  He pushed himself up with a Muscle-Up.
♪♫ “Yesterday was Thursday... Tomorrow is Friday (Friday) We, we so excited.”♪♫  

When Zack looked up, he glared at the source of the noise, it was a simple Nokia Bar phone.  He picked it up and hit the red button on it, killing the song that had been causing him to come up here.  On the lock screen, it had a pop up with a little envelope saying:
“1 New Message.”
He looked around the rooftop, there was no evidence of someone else being present.  He shrugged and unlocked the phone with ease and read the message:FROM: OXIDE
"Assemble small team; get to Panama.  Further briefing en-route."
Then the phone just shut off.  The battery mustn’t have been too charged, and playing Rebecca Black’s single probably drained the battery. The traceur*** in training thought about what just had happened.  While it wasn’t like Euge to normally do something like this, it could easily have been him. Plus, only him, and Tanya knew where he was.

Zack pocketed the phone and looked at the path that he came.

He’ll ask Euge some questions later.  Right now, he was off to Panama.
