mumbled. It was one of the new Patrolmen the station had hired. They 
walked off down the hallway and into the parking garage. As they were 
driving home, the man attempted to strike up some idle conversation. 

“So, how did the stakeout go?” He said nervously. She honestly didn’t
remember it much. “I don’t know.” She said woozily, scratching the back 
of her head. The patrolmen driving turned a tight corner, sending 
Karyn’s head into the window. He cringed a little. “I-I’m sorry!” He 
said contritely. They pulled up to the front door of her apartment 
building. The man started to say something, but Karyn didn’t hear it as 
she slammed the door. She smiled at the doorman as she walked toward 
the elevator. Once inside, she pushed the buttons to take her to the 
32nd floor, and leaned up against the wall. The elevator slowly began 
ascending the long shaft. Karyn closed her eyes. 

Suddenly, the elevator came to a halt. Karyn opened her eyes. A creaking
sound echoed throughout the shaft, and she began to sweat. A faulty 
cable in the shaft began slowly coming unwound. The cable snapped, and 
the car began plummeting towards the first floor. Karyn began screaming 
as she gripped the railings of the car. At that instant, a panel from 
the roof of the car, busted in and Cassidy jumped in. Quicker than she 
could blink, she was hoisted out of the car. The next thing she knew, 
she was watching the elevator car plummet downward and then explode as 
it hit bottom. She looked up and Cassidy smiled. He was holding onto a 
bundle of wire. She fainted.
