Elevator

Noah pressed the sixth floor...

[unable to access sixth floor....]

[sending to another floor...]

The elevator's lights flickered red.

Than, it started shaking... It took a few moments until it finally...

Welcome to the eighth floor, we have a total guest of five today.]

"What the..." Liam stood still with a surprised face. Everyone was 'supposed' to be surprised. But with almost half of the people in this group already knowing what would happen, not so much.

"We should take a look around since we're already here." Noah quickly walked out as if he was in an game speed run challenge.

The hallway was (like any other hallway here) eerily quiet. But this hallway was in better condition than any of the place we've seen. No lights were broken, the walls weren't scratched, every door was shut. The tile floors reflecting our nervous faces... we stopped on a door '806' ...we had to knock a few times until it finally opened, a man wearing navy jacket with white strikes across it, (probably adi*as) and just a normal blue jeans, opened the door. "Who may you guys be?" The man's face weren't panicked or scared like the other peoples... he just... wore a tired face as if we just woke up from his sleep.

"Sorry to bother you this late at night, but would you mind if we enter?" Noah said with a tight smile.

"I DO mind, thank you and bye-" the man was about to close the door, but couldn't close it... when our Liam the nurse, grabbed the end of it. The man laughed awkwardly a bit, than he slowly opened the door. Sighing, "welcome in..." than, did Liam finally let go of the door.

It looked like Liam didn't put much force into the door, but after he let go... the door had a small dent of a human hand... "..." don't ask me why I'm sweating at the back of my hand...

The inside had a stair, making it another floor? The room had a large window covering a whole section of the room, but it was shut tightly with a metal shutter. On the right side of the room, held a large map... if you look closely, you could tell this was the map/blueprint of the whole building we are in.

"What is this map?" Rowan asked.

"I have that because I built and designed this building of course."

"Why is the eight floor built larger?" It was Noah who asked this time.

"This floor is where the rich lives... but mostly because I live here." The man said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

".... but in this map... there's another floor in the basement, I've never heard about it." This time, it was the truth Noah spoke... he never met this man nor have he heard about an null floor after all.

"That's the null floor, I didn't build that part... they didn't tell me anything about it. I only know that there's some scientists researching whatever." He's bored and relaxed tone turned a bit serious.

"I'm not sure when this floor will not be safe anymore... There's some hidden bunker I built in the fifth floor, I'll give you this master key that can open some hidden storage containing useful stuff if you help me get there" the man paused for a moment than continued, "I forgot to introduce myself did I? My name is William."

-----

Things went all smoothly when Noah agreed. "Why did you make this floor so big! It's taking forever to get to the elevator...." Liam nagged. (While holding his gun of course)

"I already explained-" William's voice got cut off with a rumbling sound instead. The ceiling started shaking....

"Are you sure you built this place right?-" The ceiling fell down.

My mind went blank and I don't remember what I even did. I could only guess after I realized I was on top of Noah, after pushing him out of the way. (Saving Noah from turning into a flat piece of meat) "ah I want pizza for dinner" I started talking to myself, don't get me wrong... I was in an embarrassing pose right now! (On top of Noah) Than I quickly sat up, dusting my clothes off.

The fallen ceiling blocked our way, locking us away from the elevator. Don't give me this 'locked-alone-with-only-the-two-of-us' cliché!!! I guess the god heard my pray... on one of the fallen ceilings... stood a monster... we're not alone now... I changed my mind, give me back the locked-alone-with-only-the-two-of-us cliché!!!!

(God: kk!)

The monster lunged, Noah finally getting out of his surprised state and took down the monster. I cant described how he took it down, I just blinked and it was over! (Maybe because I didn't write the action scene and only wrote "I killed the monsters" that's why the world cut off the action scene...)

"Let's find a safe place first."
