This would be like shooting fish in a barrel. If the fish hadn't studied capoeira most of their lives and could give free runners a challenge. There was a dumpster in the alley at some point. That there was and it was near a fire escape was just what he needed.

Rather than using the dumpster for momentary cover like planned, he jumped and pulled himself on top of it. Marcelo then used it to launch himself at the first level of the fire escape. He hoped his capoeira-honed arms and legs got him just far enough.

His hopes were almost dashed until the dumpster blew up behind him and gave him enough of a boost.
