Figure out what has trapped Alex

"Sorry!"

Alex let go of Mackenzie's ankle, and even with the sound of his voice telling his location on the ground few feet away, Mackenzie couldn't see him. The darkness, especially in a mostly windowless area, was oppressive. She did start to wave one hand in his direction, feeling a metal bar sideways across the room, the support for a set of shelving that had fallen.

"Alex...? Are you okay? Can I move this?"

Mackenzie softly rocked the shelving unit over Alex, not wanting to hurt him if the shelf was positioned poorly. It was lodged across the room for the most part, not pressing too badly. Alex had some pain in his voice, but wasn't being crushed.

"Yeah... I just can't get any leverage. I stepped on the bottom shelf, rolled my ankle, and... Fell and pulled the whole thing down... My phone fell somewhere too, so I can't see. I'm so sorry, Mackenzie..."

Alex sounded more sheepish than anything, and he rocked the shelf, pushing it slightly under Mackenzie's hand. She tugged upward as well with one hand, keeping her other arm across her chest, and found the shelf moving slightly from the combined effort. They could lift it, even blind, and get Alex loose, then go from there.

"You don't have to be sorry... It's just an accident. I've... Had a few accidents today too..."

Mackenzie blushed even in the darkness. She was a little bit of a klutz, and she knew it. Usually it was her clothes that suffered, but occasionally she was injured. On her 21st birthday, she'd managed to dislocate her knee on a mechanical bull. Embarrassing enough to get carried out, but then it turned out that her skinny jeans were a bit too skinny, and the hunky doctor's assistant had to cut them off to get to her knee... And accidentally wound up snipping the side of her panties too... At least today she'd only wound up naked and not injured...

"Just help me push this thing and we'll get some light and check your ankle. On 3? 1... 2.... 3!"

Mackenzie used both arms in the darkness, pushing the heavy shelf with Alex pushing awkwardly from below. She had gained a fair amount of arm tone from her work at the garage, and she proudly rescued her duke in distress, pushing the shelf up to standing proudly, pushing the top against the wall. And suddenly, she squinted in pain, as the light bulb above the shelf lit up, the sounds of electronics in the kitchen beeping as the power was restored. Stunned, she blinked her eyes, looking down to Alex, who was blinking while his eyes gaped wide looking at her. Mackenzie's arms flew to cross her chest, and she looked away with a mad blush, glad at least that she was standing in profile, but finding herself frozen in shock for the moment. Reflexively (and with perhaps a bit of surprise to herself), she found herself sucking in her stomach slightly and curving her back slightly to make her butt look better, as Alex gaped at her naked profile.
