- Let's hurry so we can get out of here! I have a bad feeling about this! - I worried...

- Yes, let's! - Quickly replied Joe with a serious face.

- Miss, do not jump! Just try to get a foothold somewhere to lift yourself so we can grab you! - Continued Joe, this time to the trapped woman.

The growing sun was now illuminating us directly and because of that we couldn't see much. I decided to grab the ledge of the hatched I broke and stretched my other arm inwards. Joe secured me so I wouldn't fall in and that allowed me to reach further.

I also started to get a glimpse of what was happening inside... She was trying to use the fault between the doors that she previously created to help her up. With her efforts, the doors started to slowly slide open and the smaller rocks started to roll in, then larger and larger ones...

Suddenly the elevator started to produce cracking sounds, probably because of the new weight added to it... Making one more effort she reached me and successfully grabbed my hand, but the whole structure shock and I couldn't pull her up! I wasn't about to let her effort go in vain, so I hold on to her as much as I could as a scream shock the surroundings...

- Mommy!!

Finally the rocks stopped for a moment...

- Joe, you got me? I'm gonna pull her up!

- Whenever you want!...

I started to pull her as gently as I could for I wouldn't want to upset the balance of the rocks. As soon as she could, she also grabbed the ledge and helped out.

Moments after, she was up with us while below the rocks started sliding again. The elevator tilted hard and she almost fell back in.

- Grab your daughter and get down! - Ordered Joe. - You too!

I started my climb down but noticed he wasn't...

- Are you crazy? Aren't you coming? Let's get out of here!

- My foot got stuck as soon as I got here. Just go! Now!
