Let's say you're a criminology student who lives in the Midwest.
Out of curiosity you try to get more information about your friends death. You accidentally end up falling into a rabbit hole and start your own investigation.
Trying to solve this my...
Cw: swear words, cursing, blood, burying someone under shelves

Carrying the backpack you absolutely loved and took everywhere you went was a pain. Quiet literally a pain.
Your left shoulder was shot so you could carry it only on your right side. The cheap painkillers from your own med kit weren't that great after all. Maybe you should've taken the ones that were left for you. But as said, you were stubborn and didn't trust whoever left the pills there for you...
It was already late blue hour when you got to the library. Plus it started raining and thundering not too long ago. It would've been so much easier to drive with your car but you didn't wanted to fuck up your cover of still being passed out. Taking a deep breath in front of the library entrance you went inside and signed in with your student card. Usually you had big appreciation for how big the library was but not today. Not tonight.
There were a few students that you have seen before but tonight you didn't say hello. The less people noticed you the better.
A few voices came from where the section of the kids books was ending and where the DvD, tapes and CD section began. There was no way of knowing who it was before getting closer but it was almost like you already knew.
The closest you could get towards the voices without being noticed was in the kids books section. The bookshelf was way to high for children to reach the top books and for you too. Thankfully all the shelves were mostly full and there was no way that the people on the other side of the shelf could see you if you were careful.
Looking through one of the gaps you saw them. The guy you shot- tObY. was nowhere to be seen but there were the both masked fuckers. Plus Nolan.
You refused calling them by their stupid cover code names. The names were stupidly crappy and not creative, just like them. Maybe they weren't stupid but they looked like they were. They also were kind of intimidating. But mostly stupid... very intimidating but also stupid.
You tried very hard to not be afraid of them because that would just be contra productive for staying concentrated.
Should you first eavesdrop on then or try to get Nolan out immediately? Or should you wait? You decided to do all of those things and just trust your intuition which meant no overthinking. Looking around while listening you noticed that the shelves looked very fallable and that the room between them was perfect. Try to imagine a domino chain reaction. That's what you were seeing looking at all of the shelves.

"Where'd you hid it?" Mask man asked annoyed and grumpy
"Somewhere here I'm looking give me a minute" Nolan was supposedly looking through a box of tapes and CDs
"Cmon we don't have all night" Mask man said even more grumpy
You just needed to get Nolan away from the shelves and then push one of them over. You could scream for him to go away from the shelf but their reaction might be faster than Nolan's. What if you would end up burying Nolan and not them. That would be not fucking ideal. You needed to think more outside the box.
"Here is the one tape." Nolan said and put it in the plastic bag with a yellow smiley face on it
"The rest." Mask man said bluntly hinting that Nolan should hurry the fuck up
Mustard hoodie guy was not saying a single thing. Looking through a gap you noticed that the fabric of his hoodie was wet. Not wet from rain but as if he cleaned something off. Probably blood. "Don't distract yourself" you thought to yourself
Nolan continued going searching for the rest of whatever he hid. He was like a squirrel that hid nuts somewhere and couldn't find them again after the winter ended. "Enough metaphors and comparisons fukin concentrate."
Out of the corner of your eye you saw a teen magazine about the game just dance. On rainy days Nolan made you play it with you, you absolutely hated it but right now it was perfect. You got it out as quietly as you could and opened a random page that was designed in darker colours. With paper clips you made sure that it wouldn't close and then with a white permanent marker and stylised writing you wrote on it "slide to the right". Hopefully Nolan would understand that it was you. If not then you would have to run alone and just hope for the best. You just hoped that the Eggheads didn't see you as a threat and continued to underestimate you. That would give you a head start and maybe the upper hand.
You let the magazine fall onto the other side of the shelf there where the people were standing. It landed perfectly. Mimicking Tour Voice into the one of a little girl you said "oops". You used this voice a few times to joke around with your friends and seeing Nolan's face gave you the go. He understood. He understood. Heck yeah!
"The fuck?" The yellow hoodie guy mumbled, he didn't have his voice changer on supposedly
In a Split second you pushed the shelf over taking the Maskes fuckers off guard and Nolan slipped away in the last second.
"Ahgr fucking son of a bitch!" You heard masky gut yell
"Nolan! Nolan!" You yelled in a hushed Tone netting him at the wall where he slipped away
He turned around and saw you. You took his hand and ran with him to the back Exit while the sound of more falling shelves and screams filled the library. They were falling one after another like domino's and the loud echo filled the loud library. On the way out of the door you pushed the fire alarm after breaking the glass on the button. You accidentally cut your finger on it but that didn't matter, you weren't feeling it anyway because of the adrenaline rushing through your body.

"Are you okay? Did they do something to you??" You asked Nolan
"Yes yea, no im fine. Are you?" He asked between breaths as you both ran
"Im okay" you just wanted to catch the next bus and drive to the police station to get your car back. They didn't know that you knew so you just hoped you'll be fast enough
"You were shot y/n."
"Yeah no shit."
"More like 'yeah no Shot Sherlock' hehe" at least Nolan still had his stupid jokes on his tongue
