Davis was in the stairwell and tired to take a step on it when it collapsed; making it useless and he had to stay on the ground level for now. He then ran towards the half-wall, in order to hide from the enemies and it was large enough for his body and height to hide for a while. Then the enemies came in and began their manhunt, but it was stopped as the blue elite's leg was gone and he grabbed it so fast that a plasma grenade flew for his waist to near where Davis was. He knew what sound it was as soon as the elite's leg was shot and it hit the wall, it was a sniper and then to confirm the fire, Wiley told him that she and Tuckk were west of his position and firing at the enemies, which caused the red elite's shield to disappear and everyone was firing at a random direction. Then he felt the rumble as soon as the enemy was firing at the other ODSTs, which means that they must have hit one of the supporting pillars of the hotel.

He had a plasma grenade and two regular grenades and then he saw one of the elevator's ceilings was open and he might be able hide there. He made such that he had anything with him and then told Wiley, "Get out of there the building is about to fall on top of you guys. You don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine. Davis out."

He grabbed the plasma grenade and saw the red elite in one of the windows near the pillar and then Davis fired onto the glass and the elite looked at him and pointed his gun towards him as Davis threw the grenade to him. The colors of blue and violet lit up the dark room as it landed onto his arm and it blew up as his arm was gone and he landed onto the ground, good as dead. The other elite near him flew into the street and landed face first, which he died for and the two jackals' shields were gone due to the impact of the grenade. He then threw two more regular grenades onto the pillar and by the time that he did that the enemies had moved away from the pillar. The grenades blew up, and whole building began to rumble as one of the supporting pillars was gone. Davis ran towards the elevator and slid as grabbed onto the ceiling and closed it as he got inside the elevator.

It was dark and foggy in the elevator as got inside of it; he sat on the floor of the elevator and heard the rumble above him. He wasn't such if he was going to make it or not and moved towards the walls of the elevator and wait until the rest of the ODST could get him out.
