9/11

loud noises

We awkwardly headed to the file room. It’s not that I hated Pam, it’s that she can be mean sometimes. The file room isn’t that far away from my office but when i walked with Pam it feels like 16 miles.  We finally got there I had to swipe my I.D badge so we could get in. I walked in after her, with my head down trying to find a good topic to talk about so i wouldn't feel as stupid for going with her.

“I love your heels!” I said trying to make small talk to make things less awkward. The tone of my voice must have made this really obvious because she replied

“Thanks” pressing her heels into the carpet as she walked to ST section of the file room. While I leaned on the wall because I honestly didn’t feel like looking for a file that has nothing to do with the case that I’m working on now.  Pam suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked around with a slightly scared expression.

“What’s that sound” Pam said now heading toward the door without the file.

“What sound” I said kind of getting annoyed. She opened the door quickly and rushed to the north side of the building.  I followed her because lets face it, i am noisy.

“Wait, I hear it too.” I said now getting worried because the noise was really loud. When we got the to north side we saw a crowd of people standing and pointing at something that looked like a bird.

“What is everyone doing here get back to work!” I said just trying to get a better look. Pam and I walked closer to the window while everyone else scattered back to his or her cubical.

“What is that it’s so loud” we kind of just stood there  slightly screaming at each other until it clicked in my head.

“Oh my gosh it’s a plane!” I screamed almost at the top of my lungs. Everyone instantaneously jumped out of his or her seats just in time to see the plane crash into the north face of the north tower. We all stood there like lost zombies with horrified and shocked expressions. I didn’t know what  to do but just stand there. I feel like my head is about to explode.  Suddenly someone pulled my arm and I jerked to the left. I have shivers running down my back so I really think where is this person is leading me. 

     “What just happened?” I heard come out of my mouth.

     “I don’t know but I do know that we need to get out of here.” Said an all so familiar voice. I looked at my arm to see Pam pulling me towards the staircase.

     “Where are we going” I demand. “Did you not see what just happened?”

     Pam turned around on the heels and gave me a blank stare. “The question is did you just see what happened. That plane just hit the north tower it could have been by an accident, it could have not and I don’t want to take any chances.”

     I thought maybe she’s right.
