[quote=@Wolvena]Bella’s eyes scanned the crowd that'd gathered in the lobby, then landed upon Wyatt as he made his way to the door. She watched as he grasped the handle, ready to open it. She pushed herself through the crowd while saying excuse me, as she made her way to him.[color=662d91][b] “I don’t think that would be such a good idea.”[/b][/color] she said when she finally reached him. [color=662d91][b]“We have no idea what is going on out there.”[/b][/color][/quote]
[quote=@Vatonage][color=dodgerblue]"Wait!"[/color] He exclaimed, nearly jumping out his skin in panic. Making his way towards the door alongside a headphone-wearing woman, Chris placed his hand on the push bar in an attempt to stop the mechanic from opening it. [color=dodgerblue]"Don't you dare open that door. She's right. You might be nuts, but I'm not about to walk [i]straight[/i] into some mysterious fog we just heard shrieking from. Alton took off the moment the fog rolled in, and he vanished without a trace."[/color]

Christopher looked anxiously outside, and then to the mechanic. [Color=dodgerblue]"The best thing we can do now is keep those doors [i]shut[/i]."[/color][/quote]

I glanced at both of the strangers, and my expression contorted into one of mild confusion. I tried to make my case again in an skeptical tone, my back to the door. [color=SteelBlue]"Whadd'a yall think happened out there? There's obviously been an accident. A— a gas explosion, or a bomb. There's people outside needin' help, we' can't just sit in here."[/color]

I turned back to the door. To admit the truth, the other residents' reaction to the prospect of opening the door made me think twice about my original take of the situation. Had they seen something I hadn't? 

My voice lowered, and I looked back to the woman. [color=SteelBlue]"Right?..."[/color] I turned my eyes back to the man— he'd said Alton had taken off into the mist. [color=SteelBlue]"Alton? So what, he pro'lly had tha' same idea I did."[/color]

Still, I took my hand off the handle. There was something seriously wrong here, that was for sure, and it would be better to gather more information before making any decisions.

With the excitement of the moment wearing off, I suddenly realized that I'd made myself the center of attention... An uncomfortable feeling. I propped myself up against the doorframe with one hand, pulled my cap off, and massaged my brow with a sigh, taking some time to process the situation. Pointing out the nearest window with my hat, I continued, speaking directly to the man. [color=SteelBlue]"How long's this been goin' on?"[/color]
