Whatever might be going on in the building, she imagined the streets would be getting more dangerous by the minute, and that's where they'd have to be going after this. "Don't worry worry, I'm used to stairs, I work for the Fire..." she began, but trailed off as she followed Ashley into the lobby, and caught sight of the streaks of blood leading to the elevator. It was like something out of a horror movie - a thought she quickly pushed out of her mind as she raised the U-lock she was holding so it was at the ready. It definitely wasn't a traditional weapon by any means, but she figured that given the heft of it, a good hit from it to the side of the head would make just about anyone rethink trying anything with her.
