The search for paradise

Chapter 6

I collapse with laughter as water comes out of the end, sprinkling his trousers.
"You threatened to kill me-with a water pistol?!"
"Hmpf."  
I roll around, giggling so much I don't think I can stop.
"You seem to be forgetting something. Death-drop? Or visiting me in jail with a few dead flowers and a box full of moldy chocolates."
"Actually, I think the second option sounds very tempting," I say with of course makes me giggle even more. He scowls at me so I shut up.
"Jump."
"Fine."
I pull myself down steadily, holding onto the drainpipe. "Er, you are coming too right? Plus, I'm feeling a bit dizzy-"
Before I could continue, he was down beside me."Ladies first."
I scowled and started pushing myself down. Then I heard a scream. A lady was down at the foot of the hotel, crying for the police.
"Police! Two children are stuck! Oh, get the fire brigade!"
I roll my eyes and cling onto the pipe, jumping from window sill to wall, windowsill to wall. I look up and see Scade still miles above me.
"Aren't you coming?" I call up.
"Did I ever mention my fear of heights?"
"No. That me be a slight problem."
"What?!"
I shrug and start my way down again.
"Aren't you going to help me?" he asked bewildered.
"No."
"What! That's not fair! I'm the one in charge! I'm the-" he missed his footing and slipped down, clinging onto my foot. I slip and we free fall, plummet to certain death.
"Aaargh!" I scream.
"AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!" Scade yelps. We fall, and bounce. "Huh?" Scade opened his eyes. We were bouncing back up again. Beneath us was a large trampoline, policemen crowded underneath it. "As we bounce!" Scade shouted to me. "Cling onto the windowsill and climb back up!"
"Why should I?" I shout back, enjoying the trampoline. "When you're the kidnapper?"
He frowns at me as if to say 'I wish I'd chosen someone else to kidnap'. I sigh although it is whisked away in the wind, whipping my hair in my face. I shake it away and clutch at a windowsill. Scade is still bouncing, looking a little worried.
"Don't worry," I grin, shouting the words so that the noise of the wind wouldn't drown me out. "It's no bad."
