Amelia, Owen and Teddy were all slumped on the floor of elevator. Hot and tired, they had been stuck in this suspended box for about an hour and a half.
"Uggh!" Amelia groaned as she banged her phone down "there's still no service!"
Teddy couldn't help but giggle "what are you laughing about!? Owen said between chuckles of his own. Soon, all of them were laughing and didn't even know why

Deluca and Mer sat in silence, both sweating profusely from the insane heat traped in the elevator. After a everlasting silence, DeLuca finally spoke up. "We've been in here what...a hour?" He said to particularly no one.
"More like an hour and a half" Mer answered glancing at her watch. She sighed, turning towards him. "DeLuca..." She started "I don't hate you, I actually like you, like really like you. But I just...I just cant...with you..I can't do messy and complicated...I'm sorry..can we please be friends?
Just as DeLuca opened his mouth to answer, the elevator door cracked open a couple inches and a firefighters voice could be heard. "Hey I'm Maya Bishop, I'm here to get you guys out, alright?" DeLuca and Mer both have a verbal okay as their spirits lifted. Bishop could be heard takking with her captain
"Okay so there isnt enough space to get them through the doors, me and Herrara will go through the top. What do you say captain good plan?
"Good plan Bishop..are you going to use a harness or a ladder? The Captain questioned.
"Umm..I say ladder since both the victims are fully abled."
Good job Bishop, Herrera, get the ladder ready

Bailey and Helm were startled when they heard a loud thunk on the roof of the the elevator, at first they both panicked, thinking that the elevator pulley had snapped and they were going to pummel multiple stories to an untimely death, but then the roof hatch popped open, reveiling a tall firfighter in a harness
He descended into the floor of the elevator, "I'm Jack Gibson, Now which one of you lovely ladies would like to ride with me?"
Helm instantly claimed him "Oh! Me! Me! I do!" She said raising her hand and waving it in the air.
Bailey was not shocked that yet another intern had embarrassed themselves. "Okay young lady!" Jack said as he tightend the harness he was holding onto Helm. Then he strapped it onto his own and they both went through the hatch and started scaling up the side of the shaft. When they got out, another firefighter could be heard coming down, his boots could be heard stamping on the roof, and as he lowered his body into the elevator, he was becoming more and more familiar, his curves, the way his left leg was bent slightly the the right, His silky chocolate skin Finally when his face appeared, Bailey cried out. "Ben! Ben! Oh Ben!" She tearily said as he took her shaking hands on his "oh Baby" he softly said as he stroked her hair, "let's get you out of here."

Beep, Beep, Beep, Amelia listened to the sound of patients heart monitor, letting her mind drift. Teddy sat there silently, probably doing the same thing, and Owen had managed to fall asleep. Just as she started to drift of into a little nap of her own, the roof hatch loudly swung open, pulling her and Teddy out of their trances and awakening Owen.
A firefighter came down on the floor attached to a harness. "I'm Miller, I'm going to attach you one by one to this harness and were going to scale up the shaft, its about two story's high." everybody shook their heads in understanding. "Umm..you with the brown hair, let's go first."
Just as the firefighter was about to strap the harness onto Amelia, the worst thing, what everybody in this room feared, started to happen...
