Chapter Eighteen

Lana nearly fell to the ground as the earth trembled under her. She shot her hands out to catch the wall and keep her balance. The lights flickered and another set of bells rang as the security system went down. The door locks to each room went from blue to red indicating they were no longer in working order. So much for staying in her room.

A few others came tumbling out of their rooms, some in uniform others in sleepwear.

"What the hell?" one shouted. They all looked around in terror. A mirror image of what Lana was also feeling.

One man, still in uniform, calmly went to the door lock and examined it. "We aren't secure here, we have to go."

The others shouted and argued while Lana backed herself to the wall looking down each direction of the passageway. The elevators were still running from what she could tell, which was a good sign, but the blast which had happened from below could happen again and stop them altogether.

Lana's mind raced as she came to one bad assumption after another. The one that hit her the hardest was that she was absolutely certain whatever had caused the lockdown and the blast had something to do with level twelve.

"Come on everyone we have to go," said the man.

"Where?" asked another.

"Down to level ten," said the man.

"Are you nuts we aren't going down! Did you not feel that?"

"We don't have a choice. That's the closest saferoom. And per protocol, this level is designated to that room."

Lana listened to them but didn't respond though she knew the uniformed man was right. Even if going down meant getting closer to the blast site.

Reluctantly they followed the man to the elevators, Lana looked behind her at the end of the hall before stepping into the elevator as if she feared to see something crawling around the corner and come racing down the hall.

But no, it couldn't be possible. There was no way any of the specimens could get out.

They rode in silence down and when the elevator doors opened to level ten they were met with a large hallway filled with people and chaos.

There were dozens if not hundreds of people packed inside, all forming at the door to the saferoom. Shouts and screams could be heard over the sirens and the repeated announcement from the female voice. Guards with guns order people back as they brought equipment in from another room and stored it into the saferoom first. People huddled together then broke in a wave as the officer allowed them to enter the saferoom a few groups at a time. The floor trembled again and a few people shrieked, officers pushed back a few to wait their turn.

"This is fucking crazy," someone said behind her. Lana couldn't agree more, but she was too speechless to react. She was pushed gently toward the saferoom until she squeezed through the door and found herself in a large concrete-floored and steel-walled room the size of a small gymnasium.
