Shit.

Richard recognized that his exuberance to smack people in the face with doors may have endangered Tyzias. It's not 100% clear who each of the figures are, since in Crosslink you only really get a silhouette, but he's pretty certain Tyzias is on the roof since she's the only one here with visible hair.

The detective lets off a sigh. Herein lies his motto. You got yourself into a bad situation by being dumb. Now get yourself out by being clever.

He takes the coffee cup, the coffee machine still oozing hot coffee into the plastic grate after the half-empty cup was removed, and started taking big steps to the hidden passageway into the service elevator.

2. 3.

He checks his phone. He feels the shadowy figure getting closer to Tyzias. A 2-on-1 is his idea of a good fight, but only if he was on the side with two. As it was, he recognized his role was to even things up. Which was not his preferred method of combat.

4. 5.

He leaned against the side of the elevator. A little instinct - nobody ever checks the sides of the elevator when one opens near them for some reason.

6.

Ding.

The lights go out on the floor. A little trick, Richard rigged the elevator buttons to respond to the floor 6 lights.

Richard slinks out of the side, hoping someone, anyone is still there. He hears footsteps heading up the stairs. At first, his heart stopped dead in his chest. He's too late...
