We are not in the same room anymore. However, the room is full of technology just like the room that we were in just a moment ago. We look around quickly to make sure we are alone, the room is empty. It seems as though the room is not being used right now. After looking around the room for some details. I notice some of the equipment is labeled "SadTech".

"Kiera, I think we made it back home."

"How can you be so sure?"

"SadTech was behind the my kidnapping, or at least I was attacked within a SadTech facility."

"Will they not come back looking for you?"

"I suspect they will, but I know they are out there and will be on the lookout. Let me see if I can contact Alec through my tech."

"Who is Alec?"

"That is a rather complicated thing to explain, but he helps me with the running of my tech in this time." I try to make contact through my tech, but there is no response. "They may have jamming technology within the building."

"Then we need to get out of here." and Kiera moves towards the door.

"Kiera, wait! We should go prepared. They are likely blocking my technology throughout the building. We need more low-tech defenses."

I grab a chair to break the metal poles off of what is likely an important part of the transport device for the sphere. "I think these may do the job." Kiera takes one of the metal poles and moves towards the door. "Wait a moment Kiera. Stay behind the door while I open the door and take a look."

"OK, let's try your plan." as she smiles knowingly at me.

I open the door and there is no one there. I start down the hallway and soon two men exit the elevator and immediately start walking straight at me. I turn around and start walking quickly back to the room. "Kiera Cameron, it will be easier if you don't resist." I run into the room and the two men follow quickly behind and as soon as they both enter Kiera hits the second square on the back of the head and he falls to the ground. The first man turns, "How did you..." and I clock him in the head with my pole.

I grab the sphere from the perch that it was sitting on. "We do not have time to mess with them. We need to move." I grab a chair and drag it out with us.

"What do you have in mind?"

"I think we are going to need some deception to get out of here." We rush down the hallway and hit the buttons to call the elevator. The doors open immediately. I place the chair in the threshold after we have stepped into the elevator. "We need to get through the hatch to the top of the elevator. I hope that they will believe that we blocked the elevator to slow them down. They will have to use the stairs to find us."

"And to come up here to unblock the elevator so they can get control of it back."

"Yes." We both are on top of the elevator and seated. It takes several minutes before anything happens. It seems like an eternity. There is the silence of just waiting there and both of our hearts are beating hard in our chests with the anticipation to what may come. Finally we hear talking below us.

"The elevator was blocked but it is operational now. Keep searching for them, they have not left the building. Recall the elevator, I do not want them to be able to use it. I will keep searching this floor." and his voice trails off and I hear the door slide shut. The elevator starts moving down and finally comes to a stop. The door opens to silence and closes back up.

"Wait here while I check the door. " I climb down and try the open door button. I does not work. I try all the buttons and there is no response. "Kiera, do you see an emergency lever for the door up there."

"Let me see." After a moment, I hear a click and a sliding noise. "How about now?" I try the door. They move with a little force.

"I think you did it." I get the door partly open and then use the metal rod to pry the door open the rest of the way. I expect to face some resistance from forces in the lobby of this building. But it looks like we are in the basement. "Kiera, you can come on down."

"We must have been taken to the basement."

"But this is not the lowest floor."

"What do you mean?"

"This building has a parking structure built under it."

"How do we get there?"

"By some stairs that are hopefully nearby." We find the stairs but they only go up. "We will need to find another way." and then I see the solution. I head over to a hatch.

"What is that?"

"That is the door for the trash disposal in the building. It will go to somewhere in the parking structure. I'll go first." and I pull myself up and down I go. I drop about a floor and a half and land with a thud on a pile of bags. I try and move out of the way, but just barely get out of the way of the chute when I hear Kiera falling. She comes shooting out of the ceiling.

"This smell is awful." and she tries to stand up in the trash.

"Let's see how we will get out of here." and just then my tech comes alive.
