    It had happened to quickly for you to really do anything about it; Four large men, all easily over six feet tall had crammed themselves into the little elevator along with you. There wasn't room to breathe much less move around and the air was still and silent while the elevator started its ascent. Had you any choice you would have scrambled out of there immediately but there was no way to get out past them and now you were stuck in the middle of the four men.

    No one said a word, the elevator making its slow meticulous climb to the 10th floor and then, you noticed, the top floor for them. What they were doing in full tactical gear and masks you didn't know but really it wasn't any of your business now was it? A few more seconds passed and suddenly the elevator jolted to a halt, bumping you gently into the man on your left. He was tall, possibly the tallest man you'd ever seen and he damn near scraped the ceiling.

    He chuckled, the sound dark and rich but when a massive hand came down to catch your shoulder you couldn't help but balk internally at the sheer size of him. The other three were paying attention to you now, four sets of eyes all trained on your face. The tallest man let go of your shoulder after giving it a firm squeeze, looking you up and down for a long moment.

    The elevator made no signs of continuing its journey anytime soon and to add to that the lights began to flicker, eventually cutting off entirely. There were a few seconds of darkness before the dim emergency bulb came to life, bathing the five of you in a soft yellow light. There were a couple of sighs from the men surrounding you but one seemed to have no reaction whatsoever.
