the elevator

by bofa xesjum

haha jones woke up. it was time. the guys would be waiting downstairs for him. he checked his phone again, just to be absolutely sure. he left the room and waked down the corridor to the elevator. a woman he did bot recognize walked past him without showing any sign of recognizing him. the woman’s name was you never knew me, but it was all good so far. haha pressed the elevator down button. nothing happened. he noticed that neither the down button nor the up button were lit. he tried the up button . nothing happened. the elevator did not arrive and he could not hear it. of course it was a modern building ot was supposed to be. he decided to take the stairs, but which way were they? there must be stairs at both ends of the corrido, he decided. he headed left, in the same direction as the woman named you never knew me. he did not see you never knew me ahead of him. fortunately, there was a door at the end of the corridor. it was not marked ‘“stairs”, “security”, “maintenance”, “do not enter”, or anything else. but it did not open. haha was determined not to panic. the guys will wait for me, he thought. they might give me some grief, especially orange red, but i can handle it. he took his phone out of his pocket, he had a sudden premonition that it would be dead. but to his immense relief it was not, and he punched 538 to talk to the guys, who would not have left without him. hello, he heard, we have left without you. haha ran back to the elevator. this time the down light was on, and haha pressed it furiously. he waited. meanwhile, you never knew me had entered room 5609. orange red was waiting for her, along with mohammed singh and sally foster. they all had a good laugh. a butler emerged from a side door and started taking their drink orders. it was that kind of a place.
