Patrick nodded in reply, then looked back at Helena. "Tell them to make it quick, I have someone here who is having a panic attack." he replied. "On it sir" the man on the other end replied. Patrick walked over and stood next to Helena after talking with the guy.

Right now Helena was surprisingly calm. She knew help was on the way but her fear was still stronger. She didn't know if she could keep it together until someone would get them out. But there was another way out... if only she knew how far they were from the next floor above them.
"What do you think how far down from the next floor are we?" she asked.

by **Patrick Sullivan** Fri Oct 19, 2012 1:59 am

Patrick listened to Helena as she said that to him. "Helena, we can't think about that." he said to her gently.

by **Helena Coleman** Fri Oct 19, 2012 2:12 am

Helena turned and faced him, her face dead serious, she almost looked angry right now. "Yes we can. You might be able to stay in here and wait until someone gets this thing back to work, but I can't. And I am not willing to panick or worse when I know there is another way out. Or at least there might be." she replied. It was more than obvious that this probably wasn't the first time she had tried that way out and it was also more than obvious that she wouldn't back down unless they tried.

Patrick watched Helena as she said that to him, getting the hint that she was upset at him. "Point taken" he replied before starting to work on getting out of the elevator.

by **Helena Coleman** Fri Oct 19, 2012 2:27 am

"You ever done this before? Because I have." she asked, looking up at the ceiling of the elevator. There were a few things they needed to consider, before they could blindly climb out the top.

by **Patrick Sullivan** Fri Oct 19, 2012 2:30 am

Patrick looked at Helena when she asked that, then nodded, "I have" he replied honestly, thinking back to a mission that he had been on when still in the military.

by **Helena Coleman** Sat Oct 20, 2012 1:42 pm

"Good." she said quietly, her panick starting to lessen a little. But it was still evident on her face, in her voice and her eyes. Although she tried to keep as calm as possible.

by **Patrick Sullivan** Sat Oct 20, 2012 10:56 pm

Patrick noticed it, then went back to working on getting the door open. After a while, he wasn't getting aware. He sighed a bit, then stepped back and removed his jacket before trying again.

by **Helena Coleman** Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:03 pm

Helena frowned. The doors wouldn't help them right now.
"I thought you did this before... you didn't know there's a door in the ceiling leading to the elevator shaft?" she asked him as he tried the doors again.

by **Patrick Sullivan** Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:05 pm

Patrick looked at Helena when she said that, then sighed a bit, "Yes their is, how could I forget that." he said before looking up at the door above them.

by **Helena Coleman** Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:14 pm

Helena gently shook her head. She had that way out in mind the whole time. The only way she saw them getting out at all.
"Well... let's hope we're not too far down from the next doors." she said quietly.

by **Patrick Sullivan** Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:26 pm

Patrick nodded as he got the door open, then climbed out and looked over the side of the car. They weren't to far away from the next floor. "Helena, we are not to far from the next floor."

by **Helena Coleman** Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:30 pm

"Great." she said with a sigh of relief. Her panick lessened again. "Can you open those doors?"

by **Patrick Sullivan** Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:33 pm

"I'm getting to that now" Patrick replied

by **Helena Coleman** Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:40 pm

"Okay... when you're up there I'll follow." she replied, waiting for him to be on safe ground above them, so he could help her out of the shaft.

by **Patrick Sullivan** Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:49 pm

Patrick nodded in reply, "All right" he replied as he started to work on getting out of the shaft.

by **Helena Coleman** Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:53 pm

Helena started to walk cirlces in the elevator cabin, trying to keep her nerves calm and not to panick again. She still wasn't out of the elevator and the space wasn't big enough for her. She was locked in her mind, stuck in here. It would get better once she got out of that thing again.

by **Patrick Sullivan** Sat Oct 20, 2012 11:58 pm

It was slow going, but Patrick soon managed to get out of the shaft and onto the floor below them. At the same time, the fire department and two people from the elevator company arrived and met up with Patrick.

by **Helena Coleman** Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:10 am

Helena saw him getting onto the floor above them and was thinking that he would help her out first, but unfortunately help must have arrived. Anyway, Helena looked at the door above her, took a deep breath and then jumped up, grabbing the edges of the door and pulled herself up, so she was sitting ontop of the elevator, her legs still inside.
"You can do this, girl. You've come this far." she said to herself, looking at the open door, not far from her. This was easy, she could climb out by herself, she knew it.

by **Patrick Sullivan** Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:13 am

At the same time, the door above was opened and Patrick looked in. "Helena" he called out after seeing her on top of the car.

by **Helena Coleman** Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:22 am

Helena looked up, grabbing a hold of the steel rope that was holding the elevator and got up. Having trained so many different kinds of martial arts, keeping her balance on small places was the easiest task of all. The opening above reached her chest, so as she stood on top of the elevator, she could see over the edge.
"Step back, I'm coming up." she said, her hands reaching for the edge of the floor. She could do this.

by **Patrick Sullivan** Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:24 am

Patrick nodded, then stepped back, giving Helena the space she needed. The other guys with him stood back as well, waiting for Helena to come up.

by **Helena Coleman** Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:32 am

Taking another deep breath, her mind now not in panick mode, but fighting mode. She bend her knees a little and jumped, supporting her weight with her hands on the edge, Helena landed on her knees and shins. It hurt a little bit, as her shins connected with the edge, but she had a smile on her face. The little bruises that she might get, or not, were worth the feeling of freedom and space.

by **Patrick Sullivan** Sun Oct 21, 2012 12:37 am

Patrick glanced over when he heard that and saw what Helena was doing. "You good?" he called out to her
