Shock had started to set in, Dusk's rosey red cheeks now drained of colour and her body began to tremble. [I]Get a hold of yourself woman this isn't your first rodeo! Suck it up or you're dead.[/I] Her inner dialogue stated matter of factly.

Dusk climbed up off the floor cradling her arm, swallowing hard she braced for pain as she reached inside to retrieve her pay packet before slipping it into her boot. No way in hell was she going to leave that behind. She began awkwardly removing her jacket dropping it to the floor and rolling up her sleeve, tattooed arm scattered with nasty looking lacerations slowly oozing blood. There was a fully stocked med-kit and not to mention a fairly decent armoury to boot in the safe house like shipping container that Dusk and her partner used a few blocks from where she was but it didn't look like she was going to get there any time soon.

She hadn't noticed a chemically acidic tang that wafted around the room until she began searching the opposite of the room to Anita "I can't see a way out and this room stinks" Dusk groaned at Anita screwing up her nose. A small bunch of tools sat on the lid of one of the large 44 gallon drums- a small wrench, tape measure and a few screwdrivers of varying sizes, Dusk moved them around and took the largest one. Better this than nothing.

 Dusk damn well nearly jumped out of her skin at the fist pounding on the outside of the door followed by the cries of a man  [b]"Shit... Please... Open the door... Please... I-I need help... damnit! " 
GUNSHOTS "Get the fuck away from me! Please, open the damn door....." [/b]
Dusk tensed up shooting a glare directly at Anita hoping to god she didn't want to try and be some sort of hero and save the poor sucker on the other side. Dusk had never locked the door, fingers crossed whoever was on the other side didn't work it out.
[b]"God damnit, I need help! Why cant you open the goddam door... Please..." [/b]The voice squealed again. Dusk pressed her fingers to her lips in a 'ssshhhhh' and motioned Anita to take one side of the door while she took the other. 
[b]BANG BANG BANG "P-Please... I-I beg of you... They're gonna kill me... Please..."[/b]
In Dusk's mind If whoever was on the other side was to burst through they would end up bringing the rest of the sordid crew from upstairs down as well. 

Then it went quiet....
