Caged Entity

"Where'd he go?" I ask. "I think he's that thingy right there." Olivia suggest, pointing to a red dot on the blueprints. I walk through the area where the red dot is on the blueprints. "You feel anything?" Olivia asks. "No, it's not even colder." "I guess that means he's out of our hair." "Perhaps. I'd still like to do something though." I say. I draw a cage around the red spot. A second later the metal cage materializes with the entity inside, and it looks as mad as ever. It's monstrous grey skull crashes against the bars. "What did you do?" Olivia asks, worriedly. "I don't know, and I dont think that cage can hold it." The entity continues to bang its skull against the bars. The bars begin to give way. I quickly scribble a cone shaped object on the blueprints outside of the building. "Are you ready to do something crazy?" I ask Olivia. "Yes, as long as it gets us the hell out of here." She shouts. Clutching the blueprints in my right hand and pulling Olivia with my left hand, I run to the open window. "What are you doing?" "This is the crazy thing." I respond. Then without saying another word we jump out the window.

Small Window

The human body is capable of incredible things while riding high on adrenaline. Such as breezing to the top of an enormous skyscraper in no time. I have no idea how tall the tower is. Perhaps as big as the statue of liberty, maybe even taller. When we reached the top floor of what was once Eagle Eyes office we scanned the room quickly. Luckily the blueprints were exactly where we left them. They appeared to be untouched. I grabbed the blueprints off the desk. I help them in front of me and smiled triumphantly, thinking of all the wonderful options that were at our finger tips. I must have been lost in thought. Lost deep inside myself. I didn't notice the impending danger. The red storm was forcing itself back into the building. From my vantage point I could tell it was some sort of entity. It had no limbs, but it's face resembled a skull. I stood there, frozen in fear as the thing drew closer and closer.  Thinking on her feet, Olivia raised the blueprints at the last possible moment. The entity crashed into the blueprints. The blueprints, however absorbed the entity and we were safe. Once the entity was fully absorbed by the blueprints Olivia placed them back on the desk. "How'd you know that would work?" I ask. She smiles nervously. "I didn't."

Aggravate the Ghost

We pelted the windows of the tower with everything we had, literally. We grabbed sticks, stones, debris from the explosion months ago. Some of our projectiles hit the intended target. Most of them did not, but all of them helped to aggravate the ghosts inside. At first nothing happened. Then we could hear restless rumblings coming from inside the building. After that a loud scream was emitted followed by the evacuation of a red mist from the upper floors. "Look at that!" I shout, pointing to the red mist, now in the sky. "That's him. He's leaving." Olivia says. She grabs my hand. We head towards an open window. "Come on. We don't have much time. Who knows when he'll be back."

Smashing Windows

"Now I just wanna get those blueprints even more." Olivia says, dusting herself off. "Yeah, good luck getting in there though." I reply. Olivia smiles. "Who said anything about getting in?" "Well, we kinda have to get in there to snag the blueprints and whatever that is won't let us." "Then we'll make it come out." "And how do you plan to do that?" I ask. "Watch." Olivia picks up the nearest stone she can find. She hurls it at a second floor window. The glass shatters into many tiny pieces. I raise an eyebrow. "Vandalism?" "It'll grab his attention." She says. "Yeah, but will it force him out of the building?" "You got a better idea?" She asks. I lower my head. "I do not." "Then grab a stone."

Get Out

"Don't move and don't speak." I instruct Olivia through a strained whisper. "What? Why?" "I believe that what ever this thing is  it can only detect us through motion and sound. I don't think it can see us." I explain. Olivia stares at me, dumbfounded. "Let's just try it." I say.  We stay there for a while, motionless and soundless. No big, angry voices shout at us, and nothing pushes us back, so I take it upon myself to crawl towards the stairs. I go undetected at first, and then my hand hits the first step. Just as expected we hear a booming voice shout "Get out!" This time, however, Olivia explains that we just needed to get something. The voice quickly replies "No!" It violently throws us against the cement wall. But it doesn't stop there. It continues to push us until we are in front of a steel door. The steel door whips open. We are then tossed out onto the street and steel door shuts tightly.

Not Welcome Here

Where there's a will there's a way. Olivia picks up the biggest rock she can find. She throws it at the window. It only makes a small crater, but it is a good starting point for us. We kick the rest of the glass in. Once all the sharp shards are cleared away we hop in. The inside isn't warm at all. It's just bright. It's  like being inside a neon light. I squint as I head towards the old, rickety stairs. Before I have a chance to take one step, something throws me against the cement wall. It hurts tremendously and I am forced to lay down. "Who did that?" Olivia shouts. "Get out." An angry voice shouts back. "Where are you?" "Get out." It says again, this time even more angry. "I'm not afraid of you." Olivia replies. "Get out!" It shouts yet again. "Show yourself." Olivia demands. Olivia is then thrown against the wall by the same invisible force. I can see she is in pain too as she hunches over. The voice  cries out yet again. "Get out."

Burning Red

We stumbled back to the tower feeling quite over caffeinated and full of wonderful ideas on what we could do with the blueprints. When we got back all the doors and windows were shut. This did not prove to be a red flag for us as it defiinitely should have. Olivia placed her hand on the front door, expecting it to push in. Instead, she jumped back and help her hand in pain. "Fuck." She shouted. "The door is a million degrees." I stare up at the bright red shining through the windows. "The building's on fire." "Impossible." I point to the windows that are glowing red. "I'm not convinced that's a fire." She says. "Then what is it?" "I don't know, but we have to get in there." "Are you crazy?" I shout. "We have to get those blueprints before someone else does. " "But the fire." "It's not a fire. Come on." Olivia leads me to the side of the building where we crept in through the window last time. Just like last time, the window was wide open. We motion closer to the window, and as if could read our thoughts, it slams shut. I turn to Olivia. "Ok, maybe it's not a fire."
