Chapter 7
Quinn
The only thing I can do is watch immobilized by fear. I called for the fire department and I can hear the sirens in the distance getting closer, but maybe that’s wishful thinking.
I touch the door and I back away startled by the heat. It literally burns me and I suck on my finger instinctively. I didn’t hear anything from them from the other side of the door and maybe it’s a good thing. I don’t feel very good about my assumption, but dying of smoke inhalation is far more preferable than burning alive.
I didn’t hear them screaming. It is a cold comfort.
In a blind rage, I search the area until I find the fire extinguisher attached to the wall in a glass compartment.
I break the glass with my elbow and take the apparatus getting intimately acquainted with it. I will gladly walk into the fire with the fire extinguisher on full blast to give them a path to safety.
I look blankly at the imposing chain and huge padlock. I immediately imagine his face begging for me to do something and I go crazy.
I begin smacking the bottom of the extinguisher against the lock rapidly. It’s my last chance to save them, but the padlock is barely scratched during my onslaught.
I don’t know how to pick the lock and this sense of dread swallows me whole.
I drop extinguisher and drop in defeat on my hands and knees with my head bowed. I feel the sweat dripping to the floor from the energy I have used.
“What the hell is happening? Don’t tell me that they are still in there. My God, we could be in there with them if we didn’t go for a coffee run. I’m guessing you have already called the fire department. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a padlock like that. It has to be something industrial.” Jackson is the lead drummer and there is no shortage of women in his life.
“Where’s Peter?” I feel beaten into submission and I can barely lift my head with the tears threatening to run freely down my face.
“He wasn’t feeling very good and went back to the hotel to take a few aspirins for his migraine. I watched him drive away in the taxi holding his head. I’m sure this is going to sound sexist, but maybe this needs a masculine touch,” He said while picking up the extinguisher and slamming metal against metal until the sparks are flying.
I wave my hand dismissively not the least bit worried about his obvious weight advantage doing something I couldn’t.
“By all means, give it your best shot and I hope to god it works, but I’m not holding my breath. Somebody went to a lot of trouble to make sure those doors don’t open until everybody inside perishes. If the smoke doesn’t get them first then the fire will finish the job,” I said matter of fact no longer holding out any hope.
“The one thing I won’t do is give up. They are depending on us and we can’t let them down.
