Alison listened to the speaker, but all she was able to hear was garble. Ether way, it didn't sound promising to her. She looked around trying to see if there was by chance anything they could us, but she had no such luck. 

Alison thought for a moment. "We need to get out of here, but that should go without saying. I'm not sure if we can force the elevator door open, and even if we could it doesn't mean we're near a door on the outside. Maybe if I can get thru the hatch at the top I can take a look and see it there's a maintenance latter in the elevator shaft we can use, but that might be a stretch."

She was on to something though. If they could find a latter in the shaft they would be in luck, but this was a mall elevator so only the sides were enclosed. Ether way, it was worth a look. Ether way they couldn't say in the elevator that much she knew.

"God, why didn't a bring a change of clothes from home? This skirt will not be helpful for getting out of here. Anyway, I'll need a boost so I can reach the hatch above ours heads. I don't think anyone is coming for us. It sounds like they have other things to worry about right now."

She slipped on her heels feeling sweet relief in here feet, but that was to be short lived as they were still trapped and so far no way out.
