Re: Near the edge of the roof
Officer Krispie put his hands firmly on the redhead's shoulders, giving her a gentle little shake as he spoke loudly in order to be heard through her haze of intoxication. "DO. NOT. PANIC. WE WILL SAVE Y'ALL," he enunciated as crisply as he could through his fake accent. He grabbed two more drinks from a waitress' tray, ignoring her indignant exclamation - apparently the drinks had been on their way to other guests, but this was an emergency, goddammit - and handing one to each woman.
"Here, drink these while ah fix our little sitch-er-ation." He contemplated the lock just as Officer Blubberbuss had a moment earlier. In a flash of inspiration, he grabbed the toothpick from his mouth and jabbed it in the lock that opened the other officer's cuff, deliberately ignoring Meredith's half of the plastic contraption.
