There's a loud knock on the door.
"JAKE! LILY! Open the door!"
I recognize the voice immediately and struggle to unbolt the door. After a minute or so, the door swings open with a screech.
"Watch out!" I call, but a second to late. I bend to examine the figure on the ground, knocked over by the heavy metal door.
"I'm okay," Jason says. "Hey, Lily," he grins.
"Get up, Jason," I laugh, outstretching a hand to help him up.
Jason grabs my hand, but, instead of standing up, pulls me down with him.
"Get up, you two," Jake exclaims, turning around.
