They return to Simon

"Maybe we should get Simon. If we all push...", Stacy was getting nervous. How was she to leave the building if the doors were sealed?

"The door didn't even react to our pushing at all. I doubt another hand would change it enough to open it."

"I still think we should get him"

"I suppose we could and check for other exits. Maybe call someone and get some help."

"Bet."

The two girls made their way back to the cafeteria, with a bit more haste in their step. There they found the lone worker, busy doing some sort of maintenance which would be pointless once he learned of their predicament. He was too busy to notice them immediately so they went straight to interrupting him.

Stacy started, speaking faster than she could think.

"Simon, Hey! There's some stuff on the front door and this girl here, Alison, tried opening the door and it wouldn't open and so I tried to help with the door and it wouldn't open and I think we need help and GOD I HOPE I'M NOT TRAPPED HERE!"

Simon looked at Stacy with with a raised eyebrow, and briefly stared at the hysterical girl before turning his gaze to the slightly more collected Alison. "What's going on?", he asked.

Alison answered, "There's some green plant stuff on the cracks of the door, it's like, sealed. I just got into the building and suddenly it was all closed up with all this stuff. I mean, it can't be possible for something to grow that fast. Maybe someone might be pranking us? Point is we're stuck here."

Simon nodded, beginning to believe in the testimony of the two girls. His work wasn't a huge priority now, and surely his supervisor would understand if he explained later. Right now his focus was helping the two girls out. Even if this turned out to be nothing, he did have another motivation, and that was that both girls were kind of cute. Maybe his hopes of getting a relationship or having an intimate experience become realized. He only knew Stacy passively from their few interactions, where she was bored and would have a one-sided conversation with him, but he had daydreamed at work one or two fantasies about her. He gave the girls a reassuring smile, and said, "Alright, let's see what we can do."

They began to walk the hallway back to the lobby, and Simon subtly glanced at the new girl. Where Stacy was a fair bit shorter, this new girl was about as tall as him, and seemed to have a very different personality. She had an air about her that suggested that she was thoughtful and focused, with energy hidden behind her eyes suggesting that she could cut steel in half with nothing more than a gaze if she needed to. Not to mention that her arms and legs seemed to have a nice tone to them. Stacy was different, she reacted to everything and did so quickly, and often came up as impulsive. She was fairly skinny, and seemed to be far more interested in socializing than anything else. Slowly he found himself more and more interested in Allison. She seemed like a kindred soul to him.

Stacy was nervously talking, almost ranting, about the fact of the door being locked. She seemed to be arguing that this might be a prank and that whoever is responsible would get into massive trouble. Simon offered a few 'Mmmhmm's and nods, while Allison walked in silence, almost with contempt, as she thought that trying to open the door was futile and there might be a better solution elsewhere. Stacy seemed to have the most energy, almost as if she were dragging the two psychically, walking ahead of them almost two meters.
