As soon as they all entered the basement, Emily tugged Mercedes out from Mike's hold and hugged her. "Oh my god! Guys! Thank god!" Emily exclaimed, tightly hugging Mercedes, who hugged her back.

"What took you so long?" Sam huffed, quickly hugging Mercedes as soon as Emily let her go.

"It's not so good up there right now.." Chris breathed heavily as he went to sit on the desk.

"Understatement of the night." Mike grumbled.

"Where's the flamethrower guy?" Sam asked, looking in between Chris and Mercedes.

"Uh.. he uh.. he got.." Mercedes mumbled, leaning against Emily.

"He didn't make it?" Ashley exclaimed.

"Oh no.." Emily whispered.

"What happened?" Sam questioned.

"The thing, it.. it tore him apart.." Chris mumbled.

"Took his head clean off." Mercedes mumbled to Emily.

"Fuck.." Emily sighed out.

"Oh god.." Sam whispered, shaking her head.

They stayed silent for a few moments before Mike spoke up. "Alright.. these all the doors?" He walked around.

"Yeah.." Sam nodded.

"Are you sure?" Mike asked.

"What are you looking for?" Sam looked at him.

"Another way out.." Mike sighed as he walked to the surveillance camera screens and looked at them.

"What?" Mercedes asked. "Where?"

"Mike.. I really don't think that's a good idea. We should stay put, right here, until dawn." Sam shrugged. "At least we're safe down here-"

"Oh? Yeah? All wrapped up like a little present with a bow on top for that thing to tear us apart on Christmas morning?" Mike sassed.

"People will come for us. In the morning." Sam huffed.

"You don't sound so sure." Mike grumbled.

"That is.. what'll happen. Right Em?" Sam asked Emily.

"Yeah.. I mean.. right?" Emily didn't sound very sure either.

"Well you can wait. I'm leaving." Mike shrugged and went to leave.

"Mike, there's no key for the cable car." Emily told him.

"Josh. He's gotta have it!" Mike exclaimed.

"What? Why Josh?" Mercedes asked as she was now sitting near Chris.

"One of his dirty little tricks." Mike shrugged.

"Great.." Sam sighed. "Great!"

"If that fucking thing got a hold of Josh.. then.. we're shit outta luck." Mike grumbled.

Em sighed and shrugged. "I don't know, Mike.. it's possible.." She trailed off.
