Chapter 7

They continued talking until there was a loud snapping sound and Jessica screamed. Dead silence soon followed. Mike now realized his sister wasn't answering.

"Was anyone on it." Dave asked.

"Jessica was." John answered.

Everyone knew who she was cause most were like family.

"John."

""Yeah Rey."

"We need to take care of Mike." Rey said.

"What about you?" John asked.

"Jess is family to me and I know her past and right now we pray for her." Rey answered.

Both guys headed towards Mike. John wrapped his arms around Mike and Mike started crying. Rey and Mark stood watching Mike. Mark was stunned that this had happened.

"Does the elevator go to the basement?" Mark asked.

"Yeah." Rey answered.

"Get Glen and follow me." Mark said.

Rey did as told. Soon all three were taking the stairs to the basement.

"What's this about?" Glen asked.

"We're gonna play hero." Rey answered.

"Find a table or something solid and a crow bar." Mark said.

Rey went in search of something solid and Glen got a crow bar. Mark started prying open the doors. Rey returned with a table.

"Need a sturdy piece of metal or wood as well." Mark said.

"Way ahead of you." Rey replied.

Mark used the crow bar and started prying the doors open wider. Once he had the doors slightly apart, him and Glen opened them completely. Rey handed Mark the wood and Mark jammed it to keep the doors open. Rey carefully made his way into the elevator. Women's clothes were everywhere then he saw Jessica. Rey kneeled beside her.

"Anything?" Mark asked.

"She's breathing." Rey answered.

Rey carefully picked her up and carried her out of the elevator. Rey handed her to Mark and she groaned. Mark carefully placed her on the table. Mark started checkin her over.

"Call Mike and tell him where we are. He'll want to be with her." Mark said.

"Better yet, I'll go back up and get him." Rey replied.

Rey left to get Mike. Mark stayed with Jessica. She tried to get up.

"Jess, stay still. I need to know what hurts." Mark said.

"My head along with everything else." Jessica replied.

"I did a quick check but didn't find anything but they'll find more at the hospital." Mark said.

"Where's Mike and John?" Jessica asked.

"Rey went to get Mike and John will probably come along." Mark answered.

Not to long later. Mike was by her side and so was John. Mark left them alone.

"You know I was so scared." Jessica said.

"Yeah I know but I thought the worst and I didn't want that." Mike replied.

"Think about mom and dad." Jessica said.

"I did. I'd hate to call them and tell them if this was bad." Mike replied.

"You still need to call them. I want them here too." Jessica said.

"Give me your phone and I'll do it." John replied.

"Don't make mom cry, just talk directly to dad." Mike said.

John walked away to make the call. Mike never left her side.

"Mike." Jessica said.

"Yeah." Mike replied.

"I love you and I'm glad I have you in my life." Jessica said.

"I love you too and I wouldn't have it any other way." Mike replied.

"Mike, I need to get to a hospital." Jessica said.

"Mark could you call an ambulance." Mike asked.

"Already been done." Mark answered.
