Darkness waits on the other side. Cold. Deep. Wrong. We step in. One by one. Weapons raised.

The jaws locked onto the lowest support axle of the lead door's locking mechanism. Her boot planted firmly against the frozen threshold. Her waist twisted. Leg muscles drove the movement.

My eyes immediately went to the door, and I stood up from the bed. My body moved on its own and I was standing right in front of the sliding door in no time at all. It can’t be… Did the door always slide open this slowly or was I just anxious to see the man I thought must be standing right on the opposite side of the door? I knew that it was the latter but that didn’t calm down the wild beating of my heart.

I entered a researcher of a door rear, no door was not done but we have pledged on a timetable of a type. I looked at the top of the paper and brokers were large in bold.
