His normally blank and bored demeanor slowly changed and his face contorted in an all-consuming anger. His nostrils flared, his mouth quivered and drooled as he slurred aa string if unintelligible words that spewed into space like a volcano releasing its pent up emotions, at the closing elevator doors. I let out a breath if relief and slumped against the hard cold metalic wall as the guard vanished from my line of vision.

I jumped out of my skin as I heard a loud bang on the doors. There was an extremely small space between the elevator doors and I prayed for them to close NOW... I heard the doors screech so loudly, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw flames. The space between the doors got wider as the guard forced the doors apart. The guard's face came back into view and I could see the beads of sweat rolling down his face along with the large purple veins standing up in his arms. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I was rooted to the spot and backed into a corner with zero chance of escape.

No you stupid girl. You don't give uo! You've never given up! Now find a way out! My hands closed into fiats and I croched forward, ready to run or attack when given the chance.

But I didn't wait!

I rushed forward and let go with an uppercut to the head that sent him flying from one side of the room to the other, at what seemed like the speed of light. His body made contact with the opposite wall and he slid to the floor like a sack of potatoes. He tried to gt up but fell back down to the ground.

I hurriedly pushed the button to the elevator. This time I braced myself for any unexpected attack. I didn't relax until I heard the him of the elevator and started to feel myself descend.

But I didn't relax for too long since I had no idea what would be waiting for me at the next stop. I figured the next side would be heavily guarded. Or maybe not.

The metal box jolted to a stop. I was in a lounge position with my fists raised in front of my face, ready to attack. The doors slid open at an achinhky slow pace. No one rushed inside the box when it opened so I figured they were not told yet. Nonetheless, I carefully stepped out and peaked out in both directions. No one was in sight. That's weird! Well, I don't care. I need to escape. I stepped our the box and looked in both directions AGAIN. I leant against the wall opposite the elevator and slid along the wall one step at a time.

I felt the ground vibrate under my feet and I figured it was oncoming guards. I glanced around and noticed a door about 5 metres away from me. I rushed towards the door and turned the knob frantically while glancing around wildly. I could hear the guards getting closer and closer. As the door pushed open, I Gabe one more glance around and stepped in. Just as I was pushing the door close behind me, I saw one of the guards bend the corner with a bakoleg. Bakolegs were the most common and standard directed energy weapons that fired artificially generated particle beam.

I leant against the closed doors, closed my eyes and held my breath hoping he didn't see me.
