as the two made their way down the stairs, bob stopped her from going further.

"here." he placed the gun into her hands, "stay here, i don't know how many are in there."

"then, you need the gun," tilly gave it back to him, "i can defend myself."

bob hesitated before sighing, "okay."

the brunette waited for about five minutes for the older man to reset the breakers and heard him speaking to himself:

"keep it together, bob."

"oh, God."

"okay, here we go."

just when she was going to check up on him, the lights suddenly turned on and the electricity surged.

"gringo." she grinned as she ran to him.

"okay, bob, six? can you hear us?" dr owens questioned through bob's ear piece.

"loud and clear, doc." bob affirmed, "can you hear me back?"

"it's tilly." she corrected him.

"we hear you." owens spoke.

"all right, give me a minute." bob stated as he pressed some buttons on the computer, "you want to do the honours?"

"of course."

"press that."

tilly reached over and pressed the button she was instructed to.

"open sesame." bob said as a buzzing noise was heard.

"it's open." dr ownes stated.

"okay." bob muttered as he unlocked everything else.

once he was done, he stood up.

"you did it!" tilly exclaimed before pulling him into a hug.

"right, i'll meet you outside." bob spoke into the earpiece, "what's going on?"

"is something wrong?" tilly looked up in concern.

"we've got some company."

"where?" bob quizzed.

"the west stairwell."

"i got an idea." bob went back over to the computer, "okay. and splash."

"what was that?" tilly asked him.

"i activated the sprinklers."

"smart." tilly nodded.
