You make use of a less used route.

The server room.

You remember that there is a little known about staircase at the rear of the IT office's server room and storage. You also remember that all of the IT staff aren't here, and so it should be clear. You make your way there carefully, sometimes having to duck into offices, closets or use alternate routes to avoid noises in the distance. As you move, Keira tells you what has happened in a hushed voice, each horrid event sending chills down your spine. You are shocked to hear of Linus' transformation. Despite the nature of this news, you feel galvanized in your will to continue and escape this place with Keira in tow. Before long you reach the IT offices. Inside is a sprawling warren of server towers, storage shelves and cluttered desks. Somewhere in this maze is the access to your escape. You enter, trying to stay low and quiet. Carefully you start to make your way through, avoiding the wires which crisscross the floor. You slowly realise there is a noise coming from deeper within. You can hear a quiet moaning from behind several shelves, the source of which is impossible to observe, but you are sure there is more than one voice. You motion to Keira to be extra quiet and continue forward. Its a struggle to remember which is the right way due to the chaos of the space. Suddenly you hear a yelp followed by a loud crash behind you. You turn to see Keira sprawled against a collapsed shelf. She seems unhurt, and yet she isn't moving. She looks up at you, revealing that her baggy sweater has become trapped beneath the shelf. You are painfully aware of the sudden silence in the air.

What do you do?
