As you reach the door, you can see that it was kicked in at one time. You start to turn your light to the inside when you hear a sound behind you. Someone is walking down the staircase behind you. You must find a hiding spot quickly. Where are you going to go?
No! The door might make noise and if there's not much space inside we might not be able to use our weapon. I say hide with the shed between us and the stairs. There's an even chance the person would walk right past if you held still and turned off the flashlight. That'd be a much bigger advantage.
At first you think about entering the room in front of you, but the door might make some noise. You move to your left, scope out the corner behind the room, then decide there's not enough cover. Taking a quick look back, you can see the glow of a flashlight nearing the bottom of the stairs. You need to hide now, so you duck behind the first set of drums that will give you cover. As your hands shake, you quietly remove several nuts from your pockets, lay them in front of you, then turn off your light. Now armed, you see the dim glow of light enter the room. Every sound of your breath seems amplified.....your heart drums in your ears again. Will he see you, or are you safe? Is he here to harm you, or help? Let's see what happens.
