Meet Again

Fire

The next day Rory and Logan were both very busy at work. It was around 8pm and they were both still at the office.

"Can you make sure Joanne gets this?" Logan asked as he put a file down on his assistant, Bill's desk

"Of course" Bill said

"Thank you"

"Mr Huntzberger!" Bradley called out to Logan

"What?" Logan asked

"I need your signature for this" Bradley said and handed Logan a file

Logan quickly looked over the document before signing it and giving it back

"I also need your wife's signature. Do you know where she is?"

"First of all, she has a name" Logan said

"Right, of course. I apologize"

"I think she's up on the 8th floor" Logan said

"Thank you" Bradley said and headed to the elevator

Just as Logan was getting to the conference room for his meeting, the fire alarm went off

Logan, along with everyone else that was with him on the 2nd floor, headed to the stairs, and people started asking him questions.

"Is this a drill?" Joanne asked

"Not that I know of" Logan said

"So there's actually a fire?" Tyler asked

"I don't know"

"What's happening?" Jeremy asked as he joined the group

"Stop!" Logan snapped. He took a deep breath "sorry. Look, I don't know any more than any of you" he said, calmly. They reached the stairs "follow protocol, and we'll know what's happening soon enough"

Everyone started heading down the stairs but Logan went up, and Bill followed him

"You're going the wrong way" Bill said, when he caught up with Logan, who was going against the crowd. People from every floor were heading down the stairs and he was going up.

"Rory's upstairs" Logan said as he continued up the stairs

"Everyone's evacuating, you really shouldn't be going up"

Logan stopped walking and turned around to face Bill "I'm not leaving a burning building, knowing that she's still inside"

"Sir..."

"Go downstairs, I'm fine"

"If you're not leaving, I'm not either"

As they walked up the stairs it started getting hotter, and they realized there was definitely a fire somewhere in the building. 

Meanwhile Rory, along with a few other people, was stuck on the 8th floor. There was a fire on the floor above them, everyone on that floor had made it down to the 8th floor but the door to the stairs got stuck, so they couldn't get out.

Rory was standing next to a window, looking between her watch and outside.

"What do we do?" Sheila asked, panicking

"Not that" Rory said "we're not panicking, that's not gonna help anything. Everyone come here!"

Everyone gathered near Rory

"We're standing on the East side of the building. There's a fire on the floor above us, but it's on the west" Rory said "If I'm right, firefighters will be up here within the next 10 minutes. In the meantime, someone needs to close all the windows and doors"
