"Is everyone okay?" Robin asked awkwardly scanning the room.
"Yeah I'm GREAT now that I know the Russians can't design elevators!" Steve yelled as he frantically fiddled with the keypad
"I think we've established that those buttons don't work" Robin pointed out.
"They're buttons they have to do something!" Steve dramatised
"Yeah if we had a key card!" Robin tried to reason with Steve.
"What?" Steve spat
"It's an electronic lock. The same as the loading Dock door if we don't have a key card it won't operate meaning..."
"We're stuck down here" Dustin finished Robins explanation.
"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 for uncle Jack's party tomorrow, and she finds out you three are responsible, she's gonna hunt you down one by one and SLIT. YOUR. THROAT" Erica threatened.
"I DONT CARE ABOUT TINA, OR UNCLE JACKS PARTY. You're mom's not gonna be able to find us if we're DEAD IN A RUSSIAN ELEVATOR" Steve lost his temper
"OKAY OKAY LADIES SETTLE DOWN" I interjected
"Yes, Erica, we do have more important things to worry about right now than your social life. But Steve, would you please try to act like a calm adult because we are not going to get anywhere by you acting like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum because it's thrown its toys out of the pram. We're the grown-ups of the group, start acting like it" I lectured
"Oh cmon" Steve whined
"She's got a point" Robin broke the silence
"You're on her side? You expect me to be calm?" Steve asked
"I expect you to try" I retorted
"We're gonna die down here Heather!" Steve exasperated
"Well with that attitude we will" I pointed out
"Hey guys!" Dustin interrupted our bickering
"What if we climbed out?" Dustin suggested pointing to a hatch in the roof
"That's not a half-bad idea bro" I complimented
"Alright, let's get up there" Steve said, a new found spring in his step.
Steve hoisted Dustin up onto the roof of the elevator and then pulled himself up too
You looked around the room; Erica was preoccupied opening boxes in the corner and Robin was Leaning against the wall, biting her nails anxiously.
I offered her a smile which she returned through her nails.
"You okay?" I asked her quietly
"Yeah uh just... a little shaken I guess" she responded with a nervous laugh
"Are you?" She took a tentative step closer to me.
"Yeah. Just wondering how we ended up here" I smiled
"Yeah" Robin whispered
"Thankyou, by the way" Robin granted
"What for?" I asked confused
"For the way you talked to Steve. I swear that man acts like a complete drama queen sometimes. You really knocked some sense into him" Robin laughed
"Tell me about it! I love him to death but god I do wonder how he became the cool popular guy, he is far from cool, calm and collected" I laughed
"It's the hair" Robin stated
"Ah of course how could I forget his defining feature!" I smirked
"It's never really done it for me" Robin admitted
"Me either. I'm more of a long hair type of girl. Not like super long but shoulder length maybe" I glanced over at Robin during my rambling and realise I'm describing her. Her hair.
I couldn't tell if Robin noticed my blunder so I hoped for the best and tried to carry on as if I didn't just make the stupidest mistake of my life.
"We should check on the boys, make sure they haven't runaway or anything" I suggested with a smile
"Totally" Robin laughed.
"Any luck up there guys?" I shouted through the hatch
"Do you fancy climbing up a 600ft long rope?" Steve asked sarcastically
"It's not particularly on my bucket list no harrington" I snarked
"Then it looks like we're still stuck down here" Steve stated as he hopped back down the hatch
"What do we do? Robin asked
"I guess we just have to wait until someone shows up with a key card" I shrugged
"That could take hours. Days even" Dustin exclaimed
"Then that's how long we wait" I stated
The whole group sighed pessimisticly.
"Look, it's getting late. How about Dustin and Erica, you guys go to sleep and try and get some rest. Me, Robin and Steve will stay up and try and find another way out and when we do, if we do, we'll wake you up. Okay?" I suggested
"Okay" Dustin agreed and Erica merely nodded.
"Guess we've got a long night ahead of us then" Robin frowned
"Guess so" I sighed.
