In the company where Ling and Trisha had finally agreed to the request of Murphy, Iva and Chelsea to join them wherever they go. The aliens refused to leave the environment, thereby trapping them there for over twenty eight hours. Several times they have tried leaving the twelfth floor, but it was not possible because the aliens were everywhere in the vicinity and also on the ground floor. It was now obvious to them that aliens knew of people being in the vicinity that was why they had refused to leave.“We can’t stay here forever. We need to do something.” Chelsea said to her brother Murphy.“There is nothing we can do. Besides, we have all we need at the moment in this building.” Iva answered her.“It’s so boring staying in one location for a whole day.” Chelsea still complained, she was not the type that loved staying at a place for too long. Aside from that, she loved being in the midst of a crowd and if there was ever a community out there that had not been attacked by the alien
A few minutes after Chelsea came out of the bathroom, they began to hear the sound of helicopters flying above the building and it was something to be suspicious about, so Murphy looked out of the window to see what exactly was going on above them. From what he saw, he could tell that it was the soldiers of the country and at once he turned back to his sister and said. “What did you do?” “Nothing,” She stammered, but her mood and tone told otherwise, thereby letting them know what she had done. “What the hell is wrong with you?! We already talked about this, why did you do it.” Murphy was very angry that he felt like hitting her. In short he was going to hit her if not for Iva who came in between the both of them. She was also angry at Chelsea’s action but she knew that hitting her will not solve the problem. She had called the military already so there was nothing that could be done to reverse what she did. Meanwhile, Trisha was pacing the room thinking of what to do, she did not
On the twelfth floor where Ling, Trisha, Murphy and Iva were still contemplating on what to do next, they heard the explosion of the chopper on the rooftop and at once Murphy became more worried than he once was. His mind went straight to think about his sister as fear gripped him, causing him to think that she had died in the explosion. “Murphy, no,” Iva grabbed him as he was about to run out the room to the top of the building. Tears had filled his eyes already and it was nothing unusual. “You are still alive because you chose to stay with us, so don’t jump into their den, only be killed. Control your emotions.“No… let go of me.” Murphy pushed her, as he ran out of the room but Ling pursued him at once, he did not want him to die like his sister as they had suspected.Still running up the stairs, bullets were shot from above, it was the captain and the men he took with him into the building first. They shot the gun because they felt it was the aliens heading up there.“Don’t shoot
Meanwhile, Trisha had been listening to all they said even though her mind hasn’t aligned with it, but from what was heard, she left like there was hope for them, so she left the chair she was sitting and came to look through the window because the sight alone might give her a suggestion on what is to be done.What she saw amazed her so much that she had to put her head out of the window,looking left and right towards the sides of the buildings because she might see something that would help him leading down through the window.Well, Murphy had already checked out for this same thing which she was checking out for and none was found, so she could not see any too. But that did not stop her from thinking of another means for them to leave the office.“This is our way out.” Trisha said with so much confidence as she looked around the room.The others did not really bother about what she said, what they were concerned about was what she was going to do, so they stayed calm looking at her
Nassor was about to follow suit when Lisa held him by the wrist, “No, don’t go.” And that made him know how scared she was to be alone, therefore, he stuck her, as they kept shooting the aliens.Stan took the stairs as he pressed forward, shooting with both guns he had picked, he was not aiming as he shot so that made the aliens take cover because the bullets were flying out rapidly and killing as many that were hit by it. If it were to be the same type of guns used by the soldiers, then they would not be afraid of getting hit by the bullets.Since the aliens were afraid of getting hurt, it was easy for him to get to the sixth floor, but his getting there now made the remaining aliens to divide again because their targets were no longer on one floor level. They had to attack Stan on one end and also attack Lisa and Nassor on the other end.Inside the office, Trisha was still thinking seriously on what to do in order for them to climb out of the building. A lot of time had passed by al
“Chelsea!!” Murphy cried as he dropped the gun and rushed her because she was the one that was hit by the alien on the abdomen. Ling and Stan also followed suit because they had to help in whatever way they could to ensure that she didn't die as a result of the wound.Nassor and Lisa that were still downstairs also rushed up to help even though they hadn't heard that name before nor did they know Murphy who had called the name.“Stay with me, please. Don’t go….” Murphy was crying as he held her on his lap even as he put pressure on the wound to stop the blood.Iva also helped in getting something to stop the bleeding with, as she used it to cover that wound. Ling and Stan looked around for a first aid kit, even Nassor and Lisa that had just met them got busy all towards saving Chelsea’s life. But Trisha did not make any move to help her life. The sight brought back the memory of Rudo to her mind. She could herself trying to save his life but still lost him. Tears began to flow from h
Getting to the sixth floor, Iva chose to settle there as she sat at a corner and began to weep, the tears that flowed from her eyes was worse than that of Murphy, this showed that despite her attempt to play hard, she still had a softer heart as a lady than Murphy.Trisha was surprised to see her shedding tears bitterly, it was totally a different mood from the one she had walked out on them with. None of them could ever imagine that the young lady playing could shed such tears.Seeing her like that, Trisha did not jump into asking her what the matter was, instead she sat beside her and in a sorrowful mood as if she knew what was causing her tears.Lisa joined them there, but she was not the type of person that would take over every little thing without knowing its root, so she first sat on the other hand side, crossed her arm over Iva’s shoulder and then asked politely. “What is it my dear?” Iva was so shocked to hear someone she didn't know speak to her in such a calm and gentle ma
Instantly at the sound of that scream, they all looked to themselves because each was convinced that that voice belonged to a human and not aliens, whereas, they've not heard the aliens speak what they could understand, so there was no reason to doubt what they.Therefore all seven of them headed down to see who was shouting for help.Coming to the fifth floor, they could find the three surviving soldiers that had pretended to be dead. The soldiers were in bad conditions, so they helped them up from the spot they were into a room with the space to tend to their wounds.While treating in the best way they could, the captain's mind was still on the mission of bringing the Ling, Trisha and Nassor to the white house. So he said, "Thank God you are all here.""What do you mean?" Nassor asked him because he didn't get what he meant at first and this was because he wasn't aware that their coming there was because of Trisha and Ling.Well, Ling and Trisha who understood what he was talking ab
