No Light, No Light (Private)

[Miranda_]

Ty just followed Gabrielle, looking constantly over his shoulder in case they were being tracked themselves.

Once they reached the door, Gabrielle 'unlocked' it in her usual way. It opened out onto a huge room, filled with towering iron shelves and crates stacked on top of each other. To the right were two gigantic double doors, barred, with tracks leading out from under them into the centre, where there was a crane and several forklifts. High up on the walls were several windows and on the ceiling a dusty skylight that let barely any moonlight through. Gabrielle pulled up the lid of the nearest crate, the nails holding it shut groaning as she did, and peered inside it.

"I think we're in a warehouse."

[Miranda_]

"Doesn't look as tho anyone's here," Ty replied. He looked restlessly around the interior.

"How do we get out?"

[Sarah_K_O_M]

"Well, I'm guessing we'd need machinery to get the bars off, not to mention it'd be really fcking loud. There's still roughly six or seven here, so we have to be quick and not look around too much, or get ambushed... How are your climbing skills?"

[Miranda_]

"Fairly well, especially if it means that we get out of here," Ty replied. "It's a pity we don't have ropes."

[Sarah_K_O_M]

"Check around or in some of the crates, there might be something we can use." Gabrielle said, doing so herself.

[Miranda_]

Ty looked about, but with only faint hopes that they might find something useful. He was worried; time was ticking away fast and his search came more frenzied as he looked inside the crates.

[Sarah_K_O_M]

Gabrielle found a coil of rope between two crates. She held it up in victory.

"Got it! Do you see anything that can serve as a hook?

[Miranda_]

Ty pulled out a metal rod; it was narrow, so he was able to bend it into a hook with the minimum of effort.

[Sarah_K_O_M]

Gabrielel took it, bend the very end into a hoop and tied the rope to it it, then moved to a space amongst the boxes that gave her a clear shot. She swung, built up momentum, and threw it. The improvised hook broke through the glass and latched on. She tugged it a few times, then tossed the rope to Ty.

"You go first, wait for me at the top."
