“The controls are operated by key,” Donald grunted between gritted teeth. “Gimmie a hand!”

Garrett hurried over, hooked his fingers under the metal sliding door and gave his all, but even with their combined strength, they couldn’t move it. It was securely locked in place.

“Forget this. It’s not working, back into the store!” Garrett blurted.

“No,” Cody said, turning back to the group. He turned away from the window. Garrett could see from his ashen face that something was seriously wrong.

“We can’t go back. Not in there.”

Garrett started towards the door to see for himself.

“Don’t. You don’t need to see what’s out there.”

Garrett nodded and turned back towards the group. They were now watching him and waiting to be told what to do.

“We’re trapped here, aren’t we?” Donald asked.

“Not quite. There’s a staircase in the back. It could lead to a way out.”

“Please,” Leena said, looking from Donald to Garrett with frightened eyes. “Please don’t let them get me.”

She was shaking, and her eyes had a glassy sheen.

She’s close to the edge, Garrett thought to himself, and then realized the same could be said for all of them.

“We should try for it.”

Everyone looked at Bernard, who had regained enough of his composure to find his voice. He looked at the group, who were now staring at him and even found it in himself to give the smallest flicker of an arrogant smile.

“I mean, what other choices are there? It’s either take our chances down there or wait here to be killed. And I for one have a hell of a lot I want to live for.”

Nobody said anything, and for a few seconds, they stood and listened to the screams and brittle tearing sounds from the adjoining room. Donald took his wife by the hand and stepped forward.

“We should get moving. We don’t have time to stand around here and think about it.”

“I don’t think I can do it,” Leena said.

She somehow managed a pained, haunted smile. “I don’t think I can. I’m sorry.”

Helen reached out and took her hand. “Come on honey, we can do this together. You just keep a hold of my hand, and everything will be all right.”

The older woman smiled as calmly as she could manage, and although Leena didn’t say anything, she nodded her head.

“Okay. Let’s go,” Garrett said, hurrying to the door.

Lee was still standing with his back to the edge of the doorframe, peering down the steps.

“I take it the loading bay is out?”

Garrett nodded. “It’s not happening. Any movement down there?”

“Not a thing, just that bloody awful smell. How do you want to do this?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, do we go slow and quiet, or run for it?”

“If we can get out of here and keep under the radar, then I’m happy with that,” Garrett said. “Besides, I’m sure Nicu and his family will be out there looking for us. You in particular, after what happened with Bo. I don’t think it will take too long for them to realize we have slipped away.
