Jackpot! It was a set of two elevators and luckily, if there's still such thing, the one's almost loose is the one we want.

I started to look for an iron bar or something of the likes to crack open the elevators hatch... Meanwhile, Joe ran to the destroyed cars and started to bang them open one by one. What is he doing? The people are right here. I found a hard rock attached to two iron bars of different size small enough for me to be able to lift it. I plan to use it as a hammer.

- Hey, you see the elevators hatch? Stay clear of it! I'm gonna try to break it!

- Okay! - Said the voice inside.

I waited a couple of seconds and then with all my might I started to bang the hatch again and again... A few hits later it bended and then broke on the next hit!

- Joe, I got it open! - I screamed.

- Here, grab my hand, I'll pull you up! - I ordered to the trapped woman.

- My daughter first! - She requested.

I was about to say something like 'either one of you first is fine', buy refrain from doing so when she stretched her arms up with a child around four or five years old.

Her big deep blue eyes looked at me as if themselves also asking for help. Her gaze was intense... As I took her from that hole, she immediately looked down.

- My mommy! My mommy! - The little girl begged...

- Don't worry, I'm gonna help her out too! Now you be a big girl and stand back a bit, ok? - I tried to calm her but it was no use, after all it was her mother in there.

Nonetheless, she obeyed and stood back, observant of my moves.

As I turned to hole again, Joe finally reached us. At the same time I felt the floor starting to slide beneath my feet.
