We all continued screaming as the room continued falling. "We're going down! We're going down!" Steve shouted through screams. "Yeah, no shit Harrington!" i shouted back.

"Why don't these buttons work!" Dustin shouted as he pressed all the buttons. Suddenly, the room stopped falling causing us all to loose our balance.

"My groin. My groin. It fell on my groin" Steve mumbled as the box fell on him. I crawled towards him as i pushed the box off of him. "You alright?" he asked holding his groin. "Ask me tomorrow" i said.

"Is everyone okay?" Robin asked. "Yeah i'm great now that i know that Russians can't design elevators!" Steve shouted angrily as he began pressing all of the buttons. "I think we've already established that those buttons don't work!" i exclaimed.

"They're buttons. They have to do something" he said. "Not without a key card" Robin said. "What?" he questioned.

"It's an electronic lock. Same as the loading dock door. If we don't have a keycard, it won't operate meaning-" "We're suck here!" Dustin exclaimed finishing Robins sentence. "That's great. That's really great" i said as i began pacing up and down the small room.

"Just so you nerds are aware, i'm supposed to be spending the night at Tinas, and Tina always covers for me. But if i'm not home for Uncle Jacks party tomorrow, and my mom finds out you four are responsible, she will hunt you down and slit your throats" Erica snapped.

"I don't care about Tina! Or Uncle Jacks party! Your mom won't be able to find us, if we're dead in a Russian elevator!" Steve shouted. "Hey, what if we climbed out" Dustin said pointing to the small opening on the roof.

Steve pushed me through the opening as i helped him up. "Well shit" he mumbled. "Can we climb out?" Dustin shouted from inside the room. "Unless you can climb up a 30 foot rope then, no, i don't think so " i said.

I sat down on the roof and put my head in between my knees. "We're going to die down here" i mumbled. "Yeah... Probably" he said looking up.

"We have to get back. I need to tell my dad what's happening. He can fix this. We have to make a plan" i said standing up. "Okay... How do we do that?" he asked.

"I'll figure it out... I have to figure it out."

For the next few hours, Steve and i stayed up trying to figure out how we can get out of this mess. Without realising, i must have fallen asleep.

I woke up to Steve and Dustin taking. "Jesus, what time is it?" i asked. "Haven't a clue. But you haven't been out that long. Just a few hours... I think" Steve said.

"Has anything changed?" i questioned. "Nope, still no idea what we're going to do" Dustin said standing up. He picked up the walkie talkie and began trying to get in contact with the others.

Steve slid himself over to me and gave me a weak smile. "This is probably the worst case scenario, huh?" Steve said with a laugh. I gave a small laugh back. "Yeah... Pretty much. But wait!" i said looking through my pockets.

"Look what i have" i said showing Steve the flower book mark he had made. "Oh well, now we're all saved" he said sarcastically. "I feel like this may be bad timing, but all i can think about is Chinese food" i said.

"Well then, the first thing we'll do when we get out of here is get Chinese food. Just not imperial panda" he said as i laughed. "Definitely not" i said. His staring lingered as my smile slowly faded.

"If we get out of here, i promise we'll do a lot more than just going out for Chinese food" he said. "What?" i questioned. Steve opened his mouth to speak but we were interrupted by Dustin running over.
