With the option too good to dismiss, Lawrence forced himself to take the chance and climb up the fire escape. Although his ascension was not as graceful nor silent as he would have liked. His axe was rather bulky and he had no place to mount it while he climbed. The metal of the axe clanged against the fire escape, making Lawrence cringe every time. He knew the undead were drawn to noise like flies to horse shit. But there were others that were alarmed by noise: humans. 

Lawrence's previous encounters with other humans over the last few days had been less than pleasant. All of a sudden, everyone assumed that you had harmful intentions and took it upon themselves to hold you at gun point until you proved them wrong. The area seemed pretty deserted so Lawrence had his fingers crossed that no one would be in the apartment when he finally got up to it.
