Wooden crates littered the area. Several other oddly shaped items Daisy assumed were tools littered the floors. There didn’t seem to be any obvious hiding spots unless they wanted to dive behind a crate. And if Ryan could toss a crate that easily, it meant they were nowhere near sturdy enough to block against the weapons that the Carpathians carried.
They had to find something that was going to actually hold up against an attack and so far there was nothing that they could use, even as they charged into yet another room. Daisy was now losing count of how many they’d been in. It didn't help that each room seemed identical to the other, with the only things changing being the number of crates scattered about.
Meanwhile, behind them the crashing sounds were dying down, and the shrieks that had started to become more distant were closing in again. The barrier idea had most likely worked at slowing down but it seemed it had only held them off for a few brief moments. She couldn’t help but think that they’d gotten a hold of Harry somehow. Daisy punched the air in frustration being unable to know what was going on.
Aria finally ran into a door that didn’t burst open. Kate and Daisy came to a halt right beside her.
“What is it?’ asked Daisy, already fearing the worst.
“This one is metal,” said Aria, “it’s not budging.” Aria tried the handle but it also appeared to be locked in place.
“Where’s a Ryan when you need one?” said Kate.
"I think he's got more than enough on his plate at the moment,” said Aria. “Come on girls, look for something that we can use to hide. No point wasting energy trying to bust that thing open.”
“On it Aria,” said Kate.
Daisy nodded, thoughts of Harry haunting her once again as Kate brought up Ryan. Doing her best to squash them Daisy made her way towards the corners, hoping something was hidden in the semi darkness besides a bunch of old crates.
“I have an idea,” said Kate, “how about we go inside the crates?”
“Do you really think the Carpathians would be stupid enough to actually fall for that?” asked Aria.
“Right, they probably will check,” said Kate, “but I mean there are so many. If the boys got a decent lead, they would have no way of really telling where are. We could be in any of the crates.”
“Yeah, sure it might give us time, but you can bet they’re going to search everything,” said Daisy.
“I know. I know. I was thinking we could hide in the other room, hope that maybe they check this last room first, and while they’re doing that, run the other way,” said Kate.
“I don’t like it,” said Aria, frowning thoughtfully before adding," but yeah, I can't see a better option for us right now. It just might the only things that works."
“Maybe we can scatter a bit,” said Daisy, “one of us stays in this room, the other one in the rest.”
“No, splitting up would be a horrible idea. We would never be able to tell if they caught one of us until it's too late. We can’t take that risk,” said Aria, “come on, grab something off the floor and let’s find a crate to hide in.”
“I highly doubt one crate will be big enough,” said Kate. "These aren't that big."
“We’re going to have to try,” said Aria, picking up a long metal contraption. It had a large handle and a hook like thing at the end.
“A wrench, Nice,” said Kate.
“That’s what you call that thing?” asked Daisy.
Kate nodded as she reached for a tool of her own. It was a long blade, set in a very similar design to a metal cutter, expect much wider. Daisy hunted for a tool of her own and settled on a long metal bar with a bend at the end. Aria and Kate were already at the door of the room.
