[color=silver]No signal, huh? ... Yeah, that sounded about right. Come to think of it, he hadn't even [i]checked [/i]his own cell yet. That should've been the first thing he did; maybe whoever did this had sent a text explaining what the hell was going on. Or was that wishful thinking? 

... That was definitely wishful thinking. But [i]just in case,[/i] Duncan decided to check, once he got his hands free.

Pebs turned to go peek down the drain, and Duncan gave her a reassuring nod.  [color=0099aa]"Yeah, I got the door handled,"[/color] he nudged his head towards the arm he'd stuck through the door, and couldn't resist continuing: [color=0099aa]"[i]Literally[/i], as you see."[/color]

There was probably a batter pun to be made, but he was a little too anxious to get the damn door open to think of one.

[color=0099aa]"We should probably grab whatever we can from the cabinets. Doesn't hurt to be prepared for whatever's... out there." [/color]His carefree tone faltered the slightest bit, but he was quick to regain it. [color=0099aa]"I'll see if I can fit anythin' more in my bag when I'm done with this."[/color]

With that, Pebs went ahead to check the drain, and Duncan focused onto his own mission at hand.

He felt around in the dark for a moment, trying not to scratch his arm onto the edges of the hole in the door - until his fingers reached what felt like a door knob. Hopeful and a little anxious, he went on to search for a locking mechanism. [i]Hopefully[/i], it wouldn't be something that required a key or a code.

It was not, he soon found out, and breathed out a victorious:[color=0099aa] "Hell yeah!" [/color]

Excited over his accomplishment, no matter how small its scale, Duncan flicked the lock open, carefully retracted his arm and then stood up, glancing behind him.[color=0099aa] "Door's ripe for openin'! How's the fishing goin'? Anything bite yet?" [/color]

As he waited for her answer, Duncan pocketed the screwdriver and fished out his phone instead. As expected, there were no messages - but at the very least, he could check what time it was. The lack of windows made it difficult to tell otherwise.[/color]
