group of six in each elevator. Both groups walk out of the elevators.
    Connor says with adrenaline pumping in his body, “Oh fuck!”
    Connor fires his assault rifle at the agents and at the same time he runs for cover in the office cubicles. Connor takes out two agents before he hides in the cubicles. Agents armed with XM8 assault rifles open fire on Connor, agents armed with Bushmaster ACR assault rifles open fire on Connor and agents armed with SIG Sauer P226 handguns open fire on Connor. The rounds fired by the agents’ weapons tear into the office cubicles and desks, turn computer screens, computer cases and keyboards into shrapnel, smash the glass of cubicles and create sparks and little explosions, making paper from the desks fly in the air.
    There is glass flying everywhere. Connor is crouched down and walking at the same time. The agents are still firing and glass is raining on Connor as he fast-crawls. Ammo fired by the agents is raking over his head and some is piercing the office cubicles, only just missing him. He’s making his way to the other two elevators where there are no agents. Connor is now ducking behind office cubicles that are right beside the elevators. Agents are still firing and there is glass and debris raining on Connor. Connor is afraid to go to call for an elevator because he thinks that once he presses the elevator button he will have his head blown off. Connor sees the door beside the elevators that leads to a stairwell. Connor hears the agents reloading. The agents duck for cover behind the office cubicles while they reload.
    Connor pulls out his handgun and fires warning shots in the air so that none of the agents will return fire and will remain ducking for cover. Connor fires his gun into the air and at the same time he runs to the door that leads to the stairwell. He opens the door and is now in the stairwell. Connor puts his handgun back in his gun holster and runs down the stairs. Near each stairway that leads to a floor there is a floor number written on the wall of the stairwell.
    Agent Blake has seen and recognised Connor opening a door and going to the stairwell. Agent Blake says, “Suspect Connor Harper is in the stairwell!”
    All of the agents now know who the suspect is. All of the agents on the IT floor go to the stairwell and run down the stairs. One of the agents spots Connor on a lower-level stairway and decides to open fire with a 15-shooter handgun. Then all the rest of the agents open fire on Connor, who is down below. Agents armed with assault rifles and agents armed with 15-shooter handguns are firing at Connor. The bullets fired from their weapons blow chunks of cement off the stairs and create little bursts of ruins and sparks when they hit the stairs and walls. Connor decides that it’s not safe to run down the stairs.
    Connor exits the stairwell, through a door, on the twelfth floor and decides he would like to get back into an elevator again. He sees two elevators that are opposite the twelfth floor entrance door of the stairwell. Connor runs across the hallway and presses the button to call for an elevator. He keeps an eye on the stairwell door, being prepared for agents who are going to kill him. He hears a dinging sound coming from the elevator. Connor thinks in his mind,
Thank God
. The elevator doors open and there is a group of agents armed with assault rifles.
    Connor shouts in a panic, “Oh shit!”
    Connor opens fire straight away with his assault rifle, riddles five agents with small metallic missiles and blows holes in the elevator. Connor gets inside the elevator with the five dead agents and presses the button for the vehicle storage floor. The vehicle storage floor is on the very last floor. Some agents come bursting out of the twelfth floor entrance door for the stairwell before the doors of the elevator that Connor is in have closed.
    Connor opens fire and annihilates three more agents as well as blowing holes in the
