Unconfirmed reports from Rikkers Islands says that one of their inmates has escaped, and may be in the vacinity, the DJ on Amy Battss car radio reported. Great. Another thing to worry about, Amy thought as she pulled her car into the parking garage. It is rumored that the prisoner that alledgedly escaped as a distingising tatoo on his righthand. Its suppossedly of a snake wrapped around a young girl, the DJ was saying as Amyparked her car.It was almost 8:30 on Tuesday night at Smith & Johnsons Law Firm. At thetender age of 25 Amy landed an intership at the New York law firm. It was great! Shegot the chance to aid attorney in cases (mainly by doing reshearch, but hey it will lookgreat on a resuma). Other than her footsteps, which echoed through out the parking gargae, the placewas dead silent. If she hadnt forgotten an importin law book she wont even be there.

Still, she stood there, forced to decide between her faithful stairs, or the cold,metal elevator. Theres nothing to be afraid of, Amy told herself. Its just an elevator. There have been reports of muggings on stairs. The elevator is safer, she rationalized asshe pushed the button to summen the steel box.The doors swooshed open, and Amy had to step back from the glare of the lights. Then, very timidly, she stepped inside the death trap, and watched as the doors clangedtogether behinde her. Her work area was on the 25th floor. Takeing deep breaths Amystared back at herself relected in the mirror like door...
