Narrative:
On the morning of nov/wed/01 at about XA15, I was taxiing aircraft to gate with mr X riding right seat. We received clearance from ground to proceed to the gate. As we taxied down taxiway K to gate, we saw that flight xyz was blocking access to gate and was proceeding to get deiced. Mr X communicated to ground that gate was blocked. Ground said they couldn't have us holding there and to proceed down taxiway K and hold short of taxiway east and contact tower. We did. After contacting tower, we were instructed to make a left on taxiway east and hold short of runway 5L. While holding short of runway 6L, tower instructed us to follow the heavy B747 to taxiway D, the B747 was just coming off of runway 6R and taxiway D. I proceeded to taxi the aircraft across runway 6L on taxiway east to runway 6R. As we approached runway 6R, tower instructed us to stop immediately. I hit the brakes and the aircraft proceeded to slide entering runway 6R. At this point there was an aircraft on approach about to land and tower instructed us to basically get out of the way. I don't really remember at that point what tower had said. I just knew I needed to get off runway 6R. The aircraft was still in motion. I made a left turn on runway 6R and taxied to taxiway D following the heavy B747. Tower had us hold short of taxiway K on taxiway D and to contact ground. We did. Ground told us to proceed to gate.
