Sarah had been waiting for Becker to return to her and was getting worried. He had been gone for over 2 hours to look for food and should have returned by now. She could go out and look for him, but she knew that he would not stand for it, especially since she still had a nasty gash in her leg and was unable to get around very easy.

She kept the vigil up until she could stand it no longer. She was preparing to go and search for him when she heard a noise outside the door. She grabbed one of the guns that Becker had left for her and was prepared to use it, but luckily before she had a chance to try Becker spoke to her prior to entering the room. "It's just me Sarah".

Sarah put the gun down and hobbled over to the door; giving Becker a great big hug and kiss. It was the kiss that made her realize she may have gone too far, but when he responded she knew he felt the same way.

"Where have you been; I was ready to go out and look for you".

"I'm sorry Sarah; it was pretty rough out there. I'm afraid they know there we are in here and there not going to leave any time soon knowing food is inside".

Sarah hobbled back over to her corner and slumped to the floor, "Well, I guess that's it then. We die here then".

Becker wasn't about to give up so easily, "No, we don't have to die here, but I think we need to find a new place to hide. I was trying to study the building some more and there is an air shaft that leads to the roof. I think that if we can make it up there, we may have an opportunity to get to the next building".

"But how would that help, they can climb the walls and get us".

Only if they know we are there. From the looks of the place they are on the ground waiting for us, so I don't think they will be expecting this".

"I don't know if my leg will allow me to jump to another roof?"

"The other roof is rather close so I think you can make it".

Sarah had learned a long time ago to trust Becker, so why should she stop now. She helped him gather up what little supplies they had left and made their way out of the room. They walked along the hall until they reached a room at the end.

"We can get to the air shaft through this room".

Sarah followed him into the room and allowed him to help her onto a table which led to a small opening in the wall. Luckily it only looked big enough for people to get through, but just barely.

Eva was just studying some pages on her computer when the door to the room suddenly burst open. She went to grab her weapon, but found her hand being pushed down instead. She looked at the intruders and found that it was a man and two woman; one of which she knew.

Danny had managed to push her arm down before she could reach for the weapon. He picked the gun up and handed it to Abby. He looked at the woman whose arm he was now holding, "We won't harm you if you do as you're told".

Eva was a scientist and not a fighter so she did as she was told.

"We're here for our friend Connor, where is he".

Eva was a little nervous about answering. She knew if they took Mr. Temple the repercussions from Trina would be harsh, but then again she could be shot by these people if she didn't comply. She really wasn't good at confrontations but knew she needed to make up her mind.

Danny could tell she was thinking but thought she was taking too long so he was just about to ask again when Abby walked up to her and got in her face.

"Look, you know where he is so just tell us already". Abby was frustrated and couldn't wait for Danny. She pushed the chair around and grabbed the woman by the shoulders pulling her up. "Now just show us where he is". She gave her a slight shove toward the other door in the room.

Eva didn't like this treatment and figured it was better to just let them take Mr. Temple so they would leave her alone. "Alright, I'll show you".

Eva led them through the other door into another circular area. There were several doors inside this other room, but she chose the one directly to her left. She entered the code that unlock the door but didn't get a chance to open the door.

Abby was just itching for her to complete the code so when she heard the door unlock she pushed it open and rushed inside. "Connor, are you in here?"

Connor had been sitting on the bed in the other room when he could have sworn he heard Abby's voice. He looked toward the door and said to himself, "Abby?" He got up from the bed and grabbed the crutches that he had found in the closet and hobbled into the living area; only to be almost thrown to the ground as Abby rushed in to hug him.

"Oh Connor, we finally have you back". She clung to him until she heard Danny say something and let go feeling a little embarrassed by her actions.

Danny was extremely happy to see Connor as well, but he knew they were not safe until the left this place. "Good to have you back Connor, but we need to get out of here. Are you up to it?"

Connor steadied himself on his crutches as he turned to look at Danny, "I am so up for that".

Danny looked in Eva's directions, "You're going to help us get out of here. Which way do we go?"

Eva was hoping they would just leave here there but having to lead them out was something she didn't really want to do. She pointed in the direction and hoped it was enough.

Danny could see she wasn't going to move so he grabbed her arm and roughly pushed her toward the direction she pointed toward, "Your coming with us; at least until we are outside.
