Tenth floor…Ninth floor… Eight floor…
Comeon!She thought impatiently, tapping her foot as lift screeched by every floor.
The lift seemed to take forever, pausing slightly at every floor then screeching down to the next one. She sighed, her hand on her hip and her teeth chewing the skin on the inside of her lip. Kira hated working at all, let alone working over Christmas. As well as hating work, they decided to have a party right outside her office door. Of course Mr Takagi said she could forget work and join in with the party dwellers.
Yeah right, and have work as high as Everest to come back to?
Mr Takagi was a nice enough boss. Of course he ensured the work was done efficiently and to company standards; but he is very likeable…
Kira couldn't help but smile, knowing she couldn't be angry at Mr Takagi for her, having to work. She shifted her weight to her other foot, as the lift screeched past the fourth floor.
"Jingle bells, Ellis smells and batman flew away…" she sung as the lift doors finally opened to reveal the first floor stairwell. Before Kira realised she was on the wrong floor, the lift doors shut tight and there was the sound of the lift making its journey upwards.
Kira looked at the dial as she would have to wait for the lift to stop before she could call it again. She could feel herself getting angry, knowing the easy solution would have been to get Ellis to do it.
"No, if you had sent Ellis it would be you having to clear up his coke pile back at the desk" she answered herself aloud.
She turned round and made her way through the parking lot door to the parking garage. Oh well might as well grab my cell phone from my car while I'm here…Did I leave it in the passenger seat? Kira approached her car- a red Volvo- as she removed her keys from her pocket. Once the door was unlocked she climbed in, kneeling on the driver's seat as she leant over to grab her phone.
Ow! Fuck!
She caught her head on the roof as she brought herself out of her car. In rage she slammed the car door shut, locked it, and then hurried back to stairwell. Tucking her cell phone in the strap of her bra for safe keeping.
The lift had returned, but the doors where closing slowly. Kira started towards the lift, but she knew she wouldn't make it. Suddenly a hand appeared between the doors, halting there mission to close. A man, dressed in a formal grey coat, covering a black suit exited the lift. His hair was dark and combed back into place, he hadn't shaved but his beard was neat and well trimmed. Kira took time to look over his features.
Well… Definitely not a bad looking guy…
Kira was even more impressed when he smile, his teeth perfect. She was out of breath when she made it to the lift, smiling back at him.
"Ladies first" his voice was deep, but smooth. He had a German accent- something that Kira was definitely not put off by.
"Thank you"
Kira entered the lift, which was crowded by five men with heavy looking black sacks. She eyed them suspiciously. We certainly haven't ordered anything… She shook her head as she turned to face the lift door. One of the men coughed, making Kira look over her shoulder at him. He glared at her, Kira quickly turning back to the lift.
The man, who held the lift for her, extended his hand to her.
"Hans Gruber- Who did I save the lift for?" his voice was charming.
"Kira- Kira Kerr"
Kira placed her hand in his, as he shook it gently although his grip was tight. He leant forward so his lips where at her ear. "Pleasure, I'm sure." German accent-this guy is definitely worth my attention…
Once he had leant in, Hans now stood closer to Kira as he rocked on his heels waiting for the lift to past the tenth floor. "Thirtieth floor I presume?" he eyed her before moving his gaze to look at Kira properly. She watched him as he studied her chest, slightly revealed by a red long sleeved top that hugged her hourglass figure. His eyes moved to her face, taking in her green eyes and soft pink lips. Her brown hair curled in ringlets passed her shoulders. Again he smiled, his teeth gleaming.
"Well, I was meant to grab some papers from the fourth floor-" she glanced at the dial before locking her eyes with his. "but we've passed that floor now."
Hans replied, not moving his eyes away from hers, his tone monotonous. "Indeed"
One of the men coughed again, shifting his weight. Kira now turned to look at them and their sacks.
"Are you guys delivering something?" she eyed the men.
Hans raised his eyebrow at her, a scowl on his face. He turned to look at his men before pursing his lips as he spoke. "Nope"
"Oh" That was a blunt reaction.What the hell is in those bags?
"Do you work here?" Hans interrupted her thoughts, still rocking on his heels.
"Unfortunately. I'm working now, while they have a little Christmas party outside my office"
"Interesting" Hans now moved his eyes down her body, to her backside which was now in view after she turned to face the men who accompanied him. "Mr Takagi chooses his woman workers well." Kira was taken off guard by the comment. She was so busy digesting the comment she didn't notice until it was too late. Hans now grabbed her arm, yanking her closer to him.
"Ow, what the hell-" Kira struggled but his grip was tight.
"Calm down girl, I'll let you go soon enough." He smirked as he began humming to elevator music that wasn't even there.
"No! Why don't you let me go now, who the hell do you think you are?" Hans scowled at Kira, his hand gripping her arm tighter. When he refused to answer, Kiras anger intensified. Just wait till we reach the thirtieth floor you asshole!
Kira remained silent, occasionally trying to tug from his grip, to which he only yanked her closer to him.
Kira closed her eyes as she prayed for the lift to hurry up. Maybe I can find out what the hell this guy thinks he is doing.
The elevator just passed the 29th floor when the men behind her began removing the black sacks. Kira glanced behind and soon wished she hasn't.
Oh my god! They have friggin machine guns!
The men loaded the guns as Hans moved himself and Kira to stand closer to the doors.
Kira took one more look at Hans, who looked back with a smirk. "Ho, Ho Ho" he said slowly, winking at her, mockingly.
The lift doors opened and havoc started….
