Chapter 38-  Quit being an ass and say thank you

" Through here." Uncle Joel told us, as he cracked open an elevator shaft. " Come on Ellie, your going first."

Uncle Joel helped Ellie up, and I jumped down while Ellie lowered down a latter.

When Uncle Joel was halfway up the latter, the elevator moved a little. 

As soon as Uncle Joel climbed up, the elevator gave away and I found myself in freezing cold water three seconds later.

" Quilla!" Uncle Joel called down.

" I'm OK!" I yelled up.  " I'll try to find a way back up there!" 

I did find a way back up, and the place was covered in spores and infected.  

I made it out and returned to where I saw Uncle Joel and Ellie. 

They weren't there. 

A gunshot interrupted my thoughts. 

I darted in the direction it came from and walked into a fight between Ellie and Uncle Joel. 

" What the hell happened?" I asked as my eye found a dead person on the ground near Uncle Joel. 

" She almost blew my goddamn head off." Uncle Joel said as he got up. 

" Two more seconds under that water and you would have died." Ellie pointed out. 

I exhaled. " You know that I would have done the same thing. And it doesn't matter whether I did it or not. She saved your life. Quit being an ass and just say thank you." 

He turned around and we continued our way through the building, and a few minutes later, Ellie got her apology.
