FBN Not A Safe Haven After All

The people in the lobby itself shrunk back into their seats. A few slipped out the doors. The rest paused to watch this interuption in their day.

Stacy looked back and forth. The five rough strangers and the five gaurds were closing in. Why weren't the gaurds doing anything? Why were they silent? A gaurd's hand moved.

"DOWN!" Stacy said and shoved Manna away from her. Two glowing strings show between the ladies. Behind Stacy, one of the lions shook wildly. Smoke wafted from some of his fur.

Taser!

Stacy took one step back, then somersaulted forward, catching Manna on the up motion. "Run!"

A fox gaurd rushed forward. Stacy shot out the edge of her paw, catching him on the forehead. He slipped and hit hard.

Manna was already on the move. She stepped on the back of a sofa and vaulted over a coffee table. Stacy followed. Then slipped around a corner. Stacy ducked a punch from one of the canines, shoved him back and followed Manna towards one of the open hallways.

A taser was fired again, but it hit the wall and sputtered harmlessely. The two fox morphs made two rights and a left, then leapt into an elevator.

The doors quickly closed. The last few centimeters of space showed a gaurd and one of the strangers both trying to grab the closing doors.

Stacy panted. Then she heard beeping.

Manna was calling someone.

"Don't call the... cops!" Stacy said. Obviously they could not be trusted.

Manna waved a paw. "No...the guys at the warehouse. A hundred men who can lug hundred pound kegs like nothing...might be useful...George! It's Manna! Get down to FBN...oh my!" Manna threw the phone down. Stacy could hear a tinny voice saying, "This is FBN security, give yourself up now!"

Stacy stomped on the phone as the doors opened. Stacy hadn't remembered pressing any buttons. It must have been Manna.

What did the opening doors reveal?

1. A floor under deep renovation. Most of the windows were gone!
2. David Rabbitman!
