As the elevator rose to the suites, Mesmerin told Emila, "I figure we got a ten, maybe twelve minute window before your squad figures out--" He stopped midsentence when the elevator doors parted and Sora was waiting for them.
Sora managed to follow the both of them, taking notice of them entering the elevator so she would follow them using the stairs, keeping track and pace of the elevator as she made it to the last floor it would stop on. Once the elevator doors were to open for their last-stop, she was right in front of the doors to greet them in her full armor. "Really?

Eddie realized blood was dripping, and followed the blood trail up to a body, hanging upside-down by his feet in a tree. "... Oh, my god..." The body was that of Jay Adams. He looked to Jayce and Rae. "Can either of you get him down?"
