Garage Door Light Blinking Continuously Novels & Stories

She pointed discreetly as we skirted the corner, now devoid of guards. We continued, our footsteps echoing softly, until we reached a nondescript door secured with an electronic lock. "Memorize this spot, this door," Nadine said, her fingers deftly working her smartphone. "At the right time, our hacker will disengage the lock. Notice the light on the lock—red signifies it's secured. But when it flickers to green..." As if on cue, the light switched from red to green. "Exactly like that. It's your signal to enter." She pushed the door open, revealing a hidden garage. "Through here, you'll find the car for your escape."

I took the stairs to the third floor, my footsteps echoing loudly. My car sat where I’d left it. A black Mercedes. Expensive. Shiny. Another gift I never asked for. The floor was almost empty now. Too quiet. As I walked toward the car, digging through my purse for my keys, a strange chill crawled up my spine. It was sudden. Sharp. Like someone had poured ice down my back. That’s when I saw it. The security camera above the garage entrance was dark. No blinking red light. No quiet hum. Just dead.

I knew she was trying to reassure herself more than me, but that did not remove the telltale tremors in her voice. It didn't help that the lights suddenly went off, plunging us into inky darkness. Fear clawed at my throat, but I willed it away and kept moving, making sure to call out to Grace every other second so as not to her. We made our way like two blind mice. A beam of light cut through the darkness and bounced weakly around, landing on the only lone car in the garage -- mine. Silently thanking Grace for the light from her phone, I made my way to it and fumbled with the key.

I rushed towards the door of the room and locked it before I stepped back. I kept my eyes on the door, wondering what was happening behind it. I let out a breath through my lips before I walked over to the bed and reached for Elijah's phone. I opened the map I'd seen him opened and looked down at it. There must be some sensors around the house that would flash on the phone when someone walks past them. The first dot outside of the house was at the garden, and it kept blinking there at the same spot. Shorty after, the red dot started blinking near the circular sitting areas, and I assumed it must mean that there were people passing it.

I hope she did a better job with her youngest son. I took a second to indulge in a deep, reassuring breath and then pushed the garage door button. I whack the car in reverse, holding down the break as the door raises way too slowly for my liking. As soon as I judge the door is high enough for the car to scoot under, I plant my foot, and with the wheels literally squealing and smoking, I back out of the garage. A few warriors, probably tracking my scent, instantly flank the car upon hearing the engine roar. Ignoring their shouts, I thunder backwards until I'm able to spin towards the exit and plant my foot down.

It's almost like pulling the day's weight over your head. I jump on my bed and flip the switch on the night lamp beside me,turning it off. "Good night Troy." I mumble to myself. * I wake up to the sound of deafening sirens blaring out of the security alarm systems. I snap my eyes open and pull the covers away from my body. The security bulb in my room is blinking a red light,corresponding with the sounds disturbing the entire building. It's going to be blinking that same way in every other room as well.

“It’s okay.” I try to keep my voice even because I can feel the tremble in her arms and back. “I’m sorry, I…” She tries to push against my chest, but I keep my arms firm. “No need to be sorry. Are you having trouble with your door?” I nod over to it and the key in her hand. There’s emergency lighting in the hall, but it’s minimal. “The stupid thing won’t scan.” “Why don’t you come in here until the generators kick on?”

The car's dashboard violently short-circuited in a shower of brilliant blue sparks, and the heavy automated garage doors ripped cleanly off their hinges, slamming into the concrete driveway with a loud crash. I snapped back to reality, my chest heaving as I pulled out of her. Elana scrambled up, pulling her dress down with trembling hands. Her eyes were wide, darting from the destroyed doors back to me in the dim light. "Arden... What was that? The doors... Did you do that?" Cold panic flared in my chest. "No. It was just the wind. A storm." "There is no wind!" she yelled, her voice trembling with rising hysteria. "I saw your eyes glow, Arden! I saw the purple light!"

Well damn if he wasn't a walking hottie. I hurried back through the back and into the garage. I switched on the light before pressing the button that sent the garage gate shifting up till the guy at the door came into view. He's already in the car and was turning around to drive into the the garage. He drives in and stops after getting it parked. I pushed the button again and the garage door came rolling back down before I realized I should've kept it up for him to go out again. Oh well, I guess he could go through the inside door then.
