 I kick down the door and step inside cautiously. Suddenly, I hear banging and screaming coming from the floor above us. I can't tell who it is, but they need help. I sprint up the stairs to my left. The others chase me. They holler my name but I ignore them.

I go past every door, the noises slowly getting louder as I make my way down the hall. I stop at the room that sounds the loudest.

“HELP MEEE!!!” A female voice comes from behind the door, followed by pounding on the door.

“Hello?? Who's in there?” I ask, jostling the knob.

“Does it matter??” She sounds annoyed, “Just get me outta here!!!!”

“I'm trying!!!” I turn and face the group. “Help me break down the door!” I turn back to the door, “I'm gonna need you to back away from the door. I don't want you to get hurt!”

I wait for a few minutes before beckoning Bing, Tom, and Dan forward.

“We're gonna try kicking the door first.” I tell them. We all thrust our feet at the door.

Bang! Thud!

The door moves a little bit. I smile and we hit the door again, but nothing happens.

“What now?” Jamie asks. I think for a moment before I decide.

“We're gonna run at the door.” All the men group together. We get ready to charge, “On the count of three. Ready? One...Two...THREE!”
