(It was illogical to even consider operational elevators in a crisis like this, so he hit the stairs as soon as they were in the building. Taking them two at a time, he skidded to a halt on the second floor.. the bomb had gone off here.. and Haylie was in the intel office on the third floor.. He let out a growl and started up the stairs again, pulling off his outer shirt, holding it over his nose and mouth as he ducked and picked his way through the rubble, crying out as he almost fell through the open floor.) Haylie!! (He yelled, bellowing like a warrior would, feeling the insane rush of adrenaline and the desire to get to her now, no matter what it cost him. He took guage of a hole in the floor and lept across, scrambling up the crumbling floor and getting zapped by broken electrical cords. Now that just pissed him off. He waved the smoke away only to look through the broken glass into the incinerated intelligence office. He let out a wounded cry and nearly sank to his knees, but pulled himself up and kicked the door out, rounding the corner and dreading what he might see.. but she wasnt there.. His heart lept back up even as fear fell thick over him.. if she wasn't here.. where was she? He emerged in the hallway again.) Haylie!! (He shouted again, then headed for the stairs.. maybe she'd finally gone to lay down.) (He was picking his way over the mangled and roasted corpses of the people he had hired, trained, and worked with every day of his career with Delta.. and the more he saw the angrier he became. He heard a crying sound and headed down the hallway to find a room that had been barricaded by debris.. there were secretaries and interns trapped in that room and it wsa so hot he could barely breath. Nonetheless, he started dragging the heavy rubble from the door, ignoring his pager.. there were people in danger and he was focused on that.)

(She had left Skeeter for a matter of moments to go use the bathroom when the entire building had shaken like someone had pushed it off the foundation.. and for a moment she wondered if it was an earthquake.. but that was just silly. And then the shockwave had come nad she'd been knocked sideways by falling debris. Not.. an.. earthquake. Her first instinct was to run.. but as she got to her feet and looked around.. she realized she was trapped.. the heavy steel fire door had closed.. she was in an internal room with no windows.. and there was a huge bar blocking the door from opening. That wouldn't be so bad if the cieling hadn't given out and filled the room with firey insulation.. Oh.. God.. I'm going to burn to death.. She started to panic as the room filled with smoke, forcing her to crouch back a bit.) Skeeter!!! Braden!!! (She cried out for whoever heard her.. praying one of her warriors would find her.)
