CLAUSTROPHOBIC IN AN ELEVATOR

Ok...I can do this. I casually start walking toward the menacing building. Then, I conceal my gun in my waist band. I walk into the building as a sharp receptionist greets me with a superficial smile. "Hi. "F23IL34E45BSH,"I state. She turns all serious and hands me an envelope. I open it gently and read the message.

"Room: 878 Floor: 18" I stalk towards the elevators and press the button. As I step in I realize that Xander told me to wait. I press the button to open the door, but suddenly it stops. Oh, shit no. This is not happening. I might be slightly claustrophobic. Oh gosh. Uhhh...I do the one thing I can in the moment. I call Xander. It starts to ring. Pick up the line!!!

"Hello?"

"Xander, I'm stuck in an elevator."

"Sky! Are you ok? Did you make it in the building?"

"Did you hear me? I said I'm stuck in a freaking elevator, Xander! Xander...I might be slightly claustrophobic. Where are you?"

"Well that's just great...Bad news. I lost Liam. I'm coming, just hang in there sweetness. I'm on my way, ok?" Suddenly I feel as if the room is so much smaller. I start to hyperventilate. No...no...no...

"Xander! Stay on the damn phone...I need you to hear you... please. Xander..!"

"Calm down...I'm almost there. Ok? Talk to me I'm right here, Blue.-"

"Wait.. did you just call me, Blue?" I ask with a panicked tone.

"Yes, yes I did. Almost there. Ok...keep talking. I'm right here...let's see...hmmm. What's your favorite color?"

"Are you damn kidding me, Xander! It's not share and care time right now. I'm stuck in an elevator and not to mention I have claustrophobia!"

"Just trust me, Sky...it'll help you relax. Now, answer the question. What's your favorite color?"

"Blue. Happy now?"

"Extremely. Wow I should of guessed. What a spontaneous choice."

"Yeah I totally appreciate your sarcasm while I'm hyperventilating in an elevator!"

"Why do you like the color blue?"

"What the hell. What kind of question is that? Who asks someone why they like a color? Oh...I don't know, Xander...gee it it's the color of the sky. Oh yeah and my name is Sky. My agent name is Blue. Oh and on a totally unrelated note it happens to be the color of your eyes. Are you satisfied? Enough with the stupid questions...it's getting hard to breathe."

"Someone once told me there was no such thing as a stupid question...Shit...Sky? As much as I appreciate your hot sarcastic remarks...I see Liam's car outside the building...Stay calm...I'm coming to get you..." As he warns me the elevator door opens and I breathe a sigh of relief until I see Liam standing in front of me.

"I..I think I found Liam..."

"Sky, no!" I cut the call before Liam forces me to. I grip my gun and hold my ground.
