Fire Alarm Light Blinking Red Novels & Stories

Or else their body might leave clues and lead them toward their boss. I covered my mouth in shock as I watched the engineer howl in pain. He lost his two feet in a single moment. Although I expected there were deadly traps under the tiles, I was not prepared to witness such a disturbing scene. The others tried to be careful when they exited. Aside from the tiles on the ground, they have to avoid the blades swirling in every direction and the red horizontal light that flashes from the wall from time to time. It took us little time to know what this red light could do. When the red light slightly brushed the man's arm, a nuzzle of a gun from the wall appeared and fired a shot in the direction

I pressed the call button but the sleek digital panel flashed red. Biometric Scan Required. Caleb had reprogrammed it. Without his thumbprint or a master override keycard, the doors wouldn't even open. I moved to the fire escape at the end of the long hallway. The heavy steel door was sealed tight. Above the handle, a small red light blinked steadily. It was armed. If I pushed that bar, alarms would blare throughout the building and Caleb’s private security. The men stationed in the lobby and the parking garage would be up here in under two minutes.

The alarm went from solid red to a blinking red. On the third blink, a special alarm went off in the security room and the door locked behind the interloper. Down in the hotel’s security room everyone saw this and three men scrambled. One got on the phone while the other two sat at monitors searching for the breach. One of the men located the blinking red light and when he announced where it was located, all three men gasped. A moment later, Yuri walked through the door, followed closely by yet another man.

It will kill more people, faster, than the stable version ever could. I am just about to pull up the feed for the prototype storage room when a high, sharp alarm blares across the compound, red emergency lights flashing on every camera feed. A motion sensor tucked in the trees ten feet to our left blinks bright red on my screen. We tripped it. We were so focused on the feeds we did not notice the sensor buried in the underbrush. Nikolai’s voice cuts through the alarm, amplified by external speakers mounted along the fence line, warm and cruel and familiar.

My feet slammed against the steps, pain lancing up my bones so sharply that my whole body spasmed. Something bright caught my eye when they towed me past the first landing. I focused and saw a red fire alarm box mounted on the wall. It was just a small red square with bold white letters beside it reading 'Fire Alarm,' but that was all I needed. So, I summoned the last dregs of my strength and twisted my torso violently as they dragged me past it. I lifted my foot and slammed my bare sole hard against the red box. The alarm was triggered with a crisp snap. To my relief, a piercing, deafening siren erupted throughout the entire building the next second.

Until a strange smell made me frown. Smoke. The kitchen. Shit, the popcorn! I pulled the pan off the heat, and as I lifted the lid, another wave of smoke poured into the air. Then, a deafening beep pierced my ears. Beep. Beep. Beep. A red light blinked on the ceiling. The fire alarm. “No, no, no, no!” I yelled, waving my hands as if that would magically make the smoke go away. I ran to open all the windows and the apartment door, trying to ventilate the disaster. But the alarm kept screaming like the building was about to explode.

The wood groaned and splintered under the force of the blow. “You-” BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. His words were cut off by the sudden, ear-splitting blare of the klaxon. Everyone’s attention snapped to the speaker mounted in the wall. The warm office lights died instantly, replaced by the pulsing, rhythmic glare of emergency red. My whole body tensed, instinct taking over. Red meant emergency. And in a military-grade fortress like this, we didn’t do fire drills. Breach. Intruders were inside the perimeter.

I whisper to Lucy, whose lips curl into a devilish smirk. She moves stealthily, slipping past the guards undetected, using the shadows to her advantage. I hold my breath as I watch her make her way toward the fire alarm, her figure disappearing into the darkness. A few moments later, the blaring sound of the alarm pierces the silence, red emergency lights flashing in every direction. Chaos erupts throughout the mansion. The guards stationed by the control room exchange panicked looks before running upstairs to investigate the supposed fire.

Miller shouted. "Evacuating!" I yelled. If the fire alarm went off, the magnetic locks on the server room doors would automatically disengage for safety. It was a standard building code feature Julian had told me about once. Up on the 40th floor, the door would pop open. "Julian!" I screamed in my head. "Run!"

“A female alpha who’s not in the room anymore, and neither is the male alpha disguised as a gamma I saw looking at her earlier.” He looked like he were about to ask me if I were certain, then he took a phone out of his pocket and muttered something like, “System A is in place.” He put the phone back just as the lights began to flicker and an alarm rang out. He stood. “Ladies and gentlemen, that is the fire alarm. I’m sure it’s a false alarm, but please make your way to the marked exists.” People gathered their purses and phones and moved as three hotel security agents and my two bodyguards came to the platform and told me to follow them.
