Dustin and Steve climbed out of the elevator shaft escape door to see if we all could climb out. We heard some talking but then Steve came back down.

"He's gonna try to reach the others from his walkie-talkie." Steve said as he climbed back down.

Steve climbed back up after a few minutes but this time I could hear what they were saying because they were loud enough. "Hey. Gotta take it easy on that thing, okay? Gonna drain the battery."

"The mall just opened." Dustin said.

"So?" Steve asked.

"So someone could be in range!" Dustin said.

"What do you think, Petey the mall cop is going to repel down here and save the day?" Steve asked sarcastically.

"All right, why are you such a cranky pants after getting to spend the night with Katlyn and Robin?" Dustin asked.

"Shh! Jesus Christ." Steve said. "Will you just give up on that creepy dream already?"

"I heard you and Katlyn talking all night." Dustin said.

"Yeah we were trying to figure out a way to open up the door." Steve said. "While you children were sleeping. After eight hours, we're still exactly nowhere, which is, you know, probably just a little bit of the reason why I'm feeling just... a tad cranky."

I walked over to Robin to help her with the keypad and Steve then unzipped his pants to pee.

"What are you doing?" Dustin asked.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm taking a leak, look away!" Steve said. "Look away!"

Robin turned around and sighed, "Can you redirect your stream please?"

I turned around to see a stream of liquid moving and dripping down the wall. "Ugh. Ew."

Erica was banging the glass part of the circular container against a metal barrel.

"Hey, hey!" Robin said as she ran over to Erica to stop her. "Be careful! We don't even know what that is!"

"Exactly!" Erica said. "It could be useful!"

"Useful how?" I asked.

"We can survive down here a long time without food," Erica said. "but if the human body does not get water, it will die."

"I hate to break it to you, but this is not water." Robin said.

"No, but it's a liquid," Erica said. "if it comes down to me drinking that shit or dying of thirst, I drink."

Robin scoffed and then Robin and I heard something on the other side of the door. We walked over and put our ears against it to hear better. It sounded like some sort of vehicle.

Robin climbed up the fire escape and said, "We've got company!"

We all hid ontop of the elevator as the door opened and Russian men walked into the room. When the men left, we quickly got down and Steve put the container under the door before it could close. We then rolled under the door before it crushed us and the container. When we all got out, the door crushed the container and the goo inside then exploded.

"Ooh!" Steve said as he leaned over the goo. "Jesus Christ.."

"You still wanna drink that?" I asked Erica.

"Holy mother of God." Dustin said as he looked behind us which seemed to be a super long tunnel.

"Well..." Steve said. "Hope you guys are in good shape."
