Three people sat in a room, an adult man, a teenage boy and a teenage girl. After three days of running and hiding' they had finally found a place to hide. Suddenly there was a knock on the door,

"Should we be worried?" said the girl with panic evident in her voice. They spent the last three days making their way through the dense forest and the fatigue is clearly taking over. 

"No, it's just room service, they will go away if no one answers" the man said grumpily.

Just then there was another knock on the door this time louder, and the footsteps of many people could be heard on the other side of the door, "They've found us", the boy said in a shimmering voice, a slight British accent could be traced in his voice.

"Quickly get to the back and hide" said the man, The boy started "if it's them there's no point in hiding, they know that we are here, we sh......, 

"Maybe we should go out through the window" the girl said interrupting the boy, 

"That's nonsense, we are on the 20th floor, we will just be doing their work for them'" the man said with a hint of irritation in his voice,

"Why are we even here, if we want to hide we should have gone to some low class motel, and yet here we are, in this 6-star Skyrise hotel, this is all your fault" the girl bickered,

 "This hotel respects the privacy of its guests, and it's basic phycology, if you are looking for a person on the run, you check motels and shelters, not a fancy hotel!" the man said,

 "And yet they found us" the girl said obviously angered " Why are you even here, you......, 

"We all know why she is here" the boy interrupted, " I couldn't leave her, she knows too much and besides,   I love her" he continued as he walked towards the door and inserting a straw-like device under the door,

"This will help us see what is happening on the other side of the door" the boy went back to the table, quickly removing his laptop from his case and started frantically typing on the keys displaying a video on the screen, the knocking on the door was getting louder 

"They are breaking the door down", "How many people?" the man asked, 

"8-10 tops" replied the boy,

"Can we fight them of.......... Grenade!" The boy shouted interrupting the girl, 

"Get under the table now!"

 Just after the man shouted there was a sound deafening blast, shaking the room and disorganizing its contents, rendering its inhabitant's unconscious.


Then, a soldier obviously the alpha walked above their bodies and talked in to his shoulder "We have them".
