Christian POV
I have stood their like a fucking idiot listening to the conversation. But Something in what Elliot said stood out. 'It's the best place'.
"Elliot why did you say that?"
"Christian when you asked me to renovate this place we found the entire structure to be to week so I hired another crew and we reinforced the entire building."
"You did that?" I can't believe how smart he was. I owe him big time.
"Yes, I did. Safety first bro you taught me that." That's the smartest thing I have ever heard from him.
"Now if I am correct the person who set those bombs up were working on the old plans. They would have brought this hotel down within a minute of the explosion. But because of the reinforcing it was not even enough to bring the fist floor down." Listening to this there is only one person I can think of.
Jack POV
Why the fuck is this building still standing. This is fucking impossible. I done the calculations according to the original plans and it should have brought it to the ground. I am going to get a closer look. They wont suspect me anyway and I will just say I am concerned for my co-workers. They are going to get what is coming to them one way or another.
Ana POV
I have been sitting here for what feels like 3 hours now and I can't stand it anymore. I have eaten the apple and a few chocolates. I have sipped the water because it feels like a furnace in here. The smoke is starting to sneak in here and causing it hard to breath. I think this is the reason I am feeling so sleepy. From experience I know I need to stay awake. I know Christian won't stop till he finds me. I get up a little to walk around and realize I have a sore spot on my leg. It could just be my old injury playing up. I have to stretch my legs even if it's getting a bit hard with the heat and dizziness. I cant give up now no matter how hard it getting. All I picture is my family and this gives me the strength to hold on.
Christian POV
Its dark out now and still no sign of Ana. 12 hours later and they are still waiting for permission to search for more guests. To my glory the fucker Jack Hyde was arrested on site even though he was saying it was not him. The police found fingerprints on the explosives so he will be in custody till they find a match. I have ranted and raved till Elliot forced me into his Truck and took me to mum. I was screaming at him I can't leave Ana alone there. When we pulled up to moms I saw a very distraught Trey watching the driveway. Fuck he needs me to. When he spots me he bolts into me with such force he knocks me on my ass and starts crying.
"Dad I thought you also left me. They always leave me." Fuck i should have known. Now I feel like an ass.
"No buddy I am here. I promised you I would not and I am a man of my word." We got up and he snuggled into my side.
"Dad where is mom?" I knew this was coming, now what the hell do I say?
"She is by Taylor and Luke at the hotel. I came to check on you." I know it's not exactly the way it is but its part true. I don't need him more upset till we know what's going on.
"Ok Dad." We went inside and I got a text from Taylor saying the fireman are inside but the stairwell are so blocked they are going to have to clear them one at a time. They could not get to the ground floor elevator door either as a whole wall collapsed against it. I have to go back and help her. She needs me there. I took Trey up to his room and kissed him goodnight then Elliot and I were off again.
"Thank you Elliot for that." Was all I could managed. He understood what I needed.
"Bro we are going to get her out. Ana is a fighter so she will be ok." I just nodded because what else could I say. He is right my baby is going to get out of there.
Taylor POV
I joined the rescue team and we were clearing the stairwell to the fist floor. At least it was not as bad as it Looked. We got to the fist floor and we went straight to the elevator.
"Taylor have they found her." The boss was back but he sounded so hurt and desperate. I hated that they let him in but i guess there was no stopping him.
"Sir we going to open the elevator door to see how far it is. All the men helped and we managed to open the door. The elevator was stuck between the ground and first floor. There was a tiny gap but it was too dark to see in. The boss was calling out for Ana but there was no response. If she is not here we will make our way to the penthouse one floor at a fucking time. I will not give up until he is safe in the boss's arms.
"Taylor let's get this trap door on the elevator open."
"Yes sir."
Elliot POV
At least my brain is working because Christian's seems to be stuck. There was a paramedic on standby waiting to see if anyone was inside there. I was so terrified. We managed to lower a torch through the little gap in the floor and there she was curled into a ball. They got a huge grinder and started cutting open the trap door. The sound was terrible. We had to shield ourselves from the sparks flying. My baby brother was staring at them with so much hope in his eyes.
Christian POV
My baby is there on the floor of the elevator. She is breathing which is a good sign. They brought in grinders to cut open the hatch on the top. They pulled it open and I was holding my breath. Taylors voice sounded loud and clear.
"Boss she is in here. She is not awake but she is breathing." He lowered himself into the elevator to check her out and I went over to see through the hatch. She looked so small laying in all that food and broken glass. Then it happened.
