With her briefcase between her teeth(why not) Alison climb the ladder. The ladder made a few noises as they climbs, but nothing that was too worrying; a creak here and there wasn't going to bother her at the moment. After all, it was far better then being trapped in an elevator. The dust got all over her as she climb and couldn't help but cough at a few points. She reached her hand up when she was right below the door, and pulled herself up into the hallway. Getting back on her feet she dusted her self off then took a look around the hallway. It wasn't anything special, just a service hallway for maintenance workers to use when they needed it. She didn't see anything of note other then the doors a head of them. She paused, hearing the scratching noise from the same doors. It wasn't something she wanted to hear after escaping the elevator. "Yea, I heard it, and I'm kind of wishing I didn't." Then, there was a growling sound as someone pounded on the door violently as if they were trying to break it down. That wasn't... normal. Alison was not trilled about opening the door at all, but it had to be done. Just in case something went wrong she opened up her briefcase on the ground, and retrieved a knife and pistol that she always kept with her. "Well, this just got worse. Here, I have something we might need, gun and a knife; because when you're prosecuting a member of the mob you better expect people trying to kill you. Anyway, I better take the gun since I have a permit for it if you don't mind. I don't plan on killing anyone, but the noises aren't.. normal at all. I'd rather be safe."
