KATE COULD ONLY watch in horror as one of the creatures stared her, Dr. Owens, and her father down (as well as it could without any eyes, anyway). While a thick piece of glass separated them, the barrier did nothing for her nerves.

It pressed its slimy hands up against the glass window, suddenly trying to break through it.
Kate jumped back as it began to push against the barrier, her heart rate rapidly increasing. "It can't get through, can it?"
"It's... It's polycarbonate," Dr. Owens explained. "It can't."

Before the creature could break through the glass, everyone quickly shuffled out of the room, Kate and Hopper being the last two out and shutting the vault-style door behind them. Dr. Owens ran with them both up the stairs, the three of them missing the opportunity to be slaughtered by the creatures in the elevator.
