Meanwhile, all this time I was a couple feet up observing what was being said from inside the vents
'Fuck! Once that ribbon gets tested Amanda's DNA would be found on it for sure. But since they don't have what other DNA to reference it to they would have to check it with the Global DNA bank and that would take at least two days to get a match with the systems they have available. Some slightly good news at least because I hopefully would have been long gone with the Black box code by then and all I have to do is find a way for that to actually happen. Even if they confirm it to be Amanda's they can't really do anything to her if she doesn't remember anything' My Internal reaction when Jerry talked about the ribbon.
'Nauseous gas huh? Isn't that a bit too extreme? If a kid gets trapped in that wouldn't it cause brain damage or something? These GHA security folks are not joking around, not at all' I thought then watched them from up in the vents for a while until they concluded with their search and went back into the elevator.
With the alarms deactivated the elevator started working normally again from the sub level floor but the door didn't close on it own except it was done manually. They all got in, forced the doors closed then they went up to what seems like they were going to start the process of tightening the security around everything and with that I was once again left alone, contemplating on how I was going to get out of the situation I had just put myself.
"What do I do now? I can't really pry the elevator doors open on my own. Why did I have to completely destroy the door command circuit out of fear? The way it's built I can't even reach deep enough to fix what I damaged– No, it doesn't matter. The elevator must be in constant surveillance right now anyway and I have to avoid being seen by any camera so using it is out of the question"
*SIGH*
I inhaled and exhaled slowly to calm my thoughts "What to do? What to do?"
*FWOO*
As I pondered a cold breeze from behind passed all over my body, caressing me very tightly and reflexively I folded my body and rubbed my hands together in order to warm them up.
"So cold! With all the panicking I was doing and the tension of the situation I was in I didn't even realize just how cold here is. If only I had a sweater I could put on, I guess I better get down before I freeze to death— Wait a minute, these vents, they aren't connected to the rest of the building so where is this breeze coming from?" I pondered and turned to face the breeze.
*CRAWL*
I had to find where this breeze was coming from and maybe by some miracle that could very much be my way out of here so without wasting a single minute I put on my backpack and followed the breeze while moving against the current.
I was bad with the cold so the cold being absorbed by the metallic surface which was the inside of the vent was really uncomfortable whenever i made contact during my crawl and even if this wasn't originally my body, that fact still remained. I didn't follow the breeze for too long before I came across white light shining into the vent from an opening at the bottom.
I crawled over to the opening and what I saw through it was another room, a very big and very spacious room which had lots of machines, sort of like those inside the boxes in the first room with lots of ACs as well positioned all over this room.
As I placed my face above the opening I could feel the cool breeze from the ACs wash against them and flowed pass my body "This must be where the breeze is coming from but what room is this?"
I balled my hands, exhaled heated air and then them rubbed my palms together at a very fast pace, trying to warm them up before grabbing on to the vent cage then pushed it out the way which I brought inside and placed somewhere in the vent in front of me. Next I stuck my head through the hole to get a better look of the room
"This wasn't in any of the blueprints, altered or original. What is this?"
I had to jump down to get a better look but the distance was too far, far enough that it made me to hesitate a little.
"Come on Samuels, it's now or never" I shook my head and said to myself trying to remove any thoughts of falling
I have test and defense so the next chapter won't come out early
