He shouts up to the person on the ledge just as it jumps, or is pushed, and lands in a pool of blood on the ground. Jimmy rushes bier and is joined by others. One of whom hands Jimmy a knife. Saying, “take this”. Then shouting out that was Jimmy was the assailant. Jimmy realises his situation and shouts out Shelley’s name.
