Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad

"He was an inch, perhaps two, under six feet, powerfully built, and he advanced straight at me with a slight stoop of the shoulders, head forward, and a fixed from-under stare which made me think of a charging bull."
I had to think fast or else I would've been crushed so I quickly leapt out of the way right as he dashed by me. He was going so fast it took him a couple seconds to slow down and turn back around. This time I was ready. I bent my legs and held up my fists as he started to charge at me again. Just then Jeremy sprinted out from behind the wall and shoved me out of the way and we both went tumbling onto the floor.
"What on earth are you thinking Ben! We have to get out of here!" yelled Jeremy.
"I didn't know where you were!" I said as we ran down the staircase. "Did you get the evidence for the police?"
"Yes I have it all right here" he replied showing me a small brief case.
"Okay but how are we going to get out of the building with the guards there?"
"We will have to create a diversion. Go this way" he pointed to the right.
We ran down a long hallway and when we got to the end we could see the front of the building being guarded by 3 large men with dark sunglasses.
"There is no way we're getting by them without getting attacked" I said.
"I know but I have an idea. You are going to take the brief case so they think you have the evidence and run as fast as you can towards the other side of the building. Once you get far enough just hide in one of the rooms and lock the door. They won't be able to catch you."
"And what are you going to do"
"I'll take the actual evidence and run across the street and use the phone to call the police right away. When they come I will tell them where to find you"
"Okay be careful Jeremy"
"You too. Now go!"
I sprinted as fast as I could past the guards. As soon as they saw me they came running for me. I didn't look back once but I knew they were right behind me. I did as Jeremy had said and ran down the hall until I found an open door and ran inside and locked it. My heart was beating so fast I thought it would burst out of my chest. The only thing I could do now was wait. About 10 minutes later I heard police sirens. Finally I heard Jeremy and two police officers so I opened the door.
"Ben are you okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine. Is everything taken care of?"
"Yes" the police man answered. "We have the evidence. These men will be going to jail for a long, long time. You two really helped us out today. Have either of you considered joining the squad?"

"And thats how Jeremy and I became police officers" I said after I finished the story.
