The room began moving as everyone started screaming. "We're going down! We're going down!" Steve yelled.

"no shit Steve!" "Yeah no shit Harrington!" Both girls yelled as they clung to the walls around them.

"Why don't these buttons work?!" Dustin screamed, slamming his thumb on the button.

Erica and Dustin were screaming over which button to push when all of a sudden the room came to a complete stop causing everyone to grunt

Robin fell against the boxes, Julia hit her head on the wall behind her and Steve toppled over with a box landing right on him.

"My groin. It fell on my groin." Steve mumbled in pain as everyone tried to get themselves back up.

"Dustin! Get this off of me!" Dustin lifted the box off the boy as everyone was breathing.

"Is everyone okay?" Robin asked as Julia rubbed the back of her head where she previously slammed it.

"Yeah I'm great now that I know that Russians can't design elevators!" Steve yelled as he frantically pushed the buttons again.

"Steve. Those buttons don't work. They didn't for the last minute, they're not going to now." Julia called out as Robin offered a hand to help her off the ground.

"They're buttons. They have to do something." Steve raised his voice at his girl unknowingly. He was frustrated and scared. They all were.

"Yeah if we had a key card." Robin pointed out.

"A what?"

"It's an electronic lock. Same as the loading dock door. If we don't have a key card, it won't operate, meaning-"

"We're stuck in here." Dustin finished.

"We're fucked." Luckily no one had heard Julia whisper that.

"Just so you nerds are aware, I'm supposed to be spending the night at Tina's. And Tina always covers for me. But if I'm not home tomorrow for Uncle Jack's party tomorrow and my mom finds out you four are responsible, she's gonna hunt you down one by one and slit your throat."

Julia was easily annoyed at Erica at the moment and she snapped. "Listen here. We don't give a single fuck about Tina. Or Uncle Jack's party! Your mom will not be able to find us if we are dead in a secret Russian room. She will not be able to find us if we are dead after these fucking people torture and kill us. okay? We have bigger problems then this 'party' so please. Knock it off with the attitude and help us figure out how to get the fuck out of here. Alive and not chopped up body parts." Julia huffed as Erica stared up at the girl.

Everyone was quiet until Dustin pointed up to the ceiling. "What if we climbed out?"

The group stacked a few boxes on top of each other as Steve and Dustin climbed up onto the roof of the elevator.

Erica was still staring at Julia. "I'm sorry for yelling. But the attitude was getting annoying and I'm scared and frustrated. Just, try to cut it with the 'tude. please." "I'll only do it because I like your modesty. And I know you'll be giving me free ice cream for-" "for life yeah I get it."

Everyone woke up from their sleep to realize they were still in the elevator with no hope of getting out. Julia woke up to the sound of a liquid spraying. She struggled to open her eyes but once she did she saw that 'liquid' aiming on one area.
