As the door opened, Kiara saw that there was a girl standing at the entrance. She wasn't wearing a CERN badge, neither a scientist nor a visitor one... so what could she be doing there?
Her first thought was that she was the person she thought she saw earlier, when Yang's "colleague" was about to go for the coffee. But she dismissed that idea soon after: the woman was tall and thin, whilst the shadow had been shorter and wider; a man's shadow, most likely.
However, that didn't mean she could trust her. Still holding the scissors behind her back, she tried to look as if it was natural to be locked in a room, looking nervous for no reason. "Who are you?"
Before the woman had the chance to answer, though, Kiara cut her off. Two men were running towards the door from the back of the corridor, holding guns. "Quickly! Close the door NOW!" she cried, forgetting her previous suspicions.
(yerss> I improvised a bit so we can have some gun-gun-shoot-shoot 🥷 if that's contradicting what you've planned, tell me and I'll edit)
clovie >
(still had to PM you)
It doesn't take you long to hear more footsteps holding in front of the door, a few moments later it is quiet...
You hear absolutely nothing but you are sure that you heard those footsteps!
Just when you're doubting what you heard a loud booming voice just at the other side of the door yells:
"Open the door and calmly get out! You have one minute, then we will shoot to kill!"
(nonono! we ain't opening the door... they'll ... shoot us 😱 )
Kiara had two things to worry about at the moment: one was that she didn't trust the woman who had just, in some sense, saved her life by closing the door. Second -and most important one- was that outside that door, were standing a bunch of armed men threatening to kill them if they didn't go out. It wasn't very difficult to suspect that they would try to kill them whether they'd open the door or not.
For the time being, though, she had no other choice than to assume the woman wasn't a threat to her and cooperate to find a safe way out of there, preferably ... alive.
She moved closer to the door. "I don't know how long this door is going to stand there. This is an office, hence no secure area, so the door isn't thick enough".
The woman stared for a moment, then looked around at the office, then back at Kiara. "Is there any other way out of here?"
"Not that I know of. The window is nine metres higher than the ground and a possible fall would kill us. The choices we have, as I see it, is to search for some hidden exit, hide, or stand and fight. I think-"
"Your time is up!" they heard a men's voice from outside.
Immediately, Kiara jumped behind the desk, hoping that the other girl would do something to protect herself from the upcoming shoots.
(let's fight 😄)
still totally not satified about the present situation, moves away from the door, and jumps behind some boxes/cases standing on the floor.
the ppl behind the door starts shooting...
(what does fight mean?)
takes out of the inside pocket little gun, "i wasn't prepared for this kind of stuff" mumbles. and looks at the girl hiding next to her.
