((OK, I've written my post with Edwin still a part of the group.  If you think he's gone, I can easily change the post accordingly.))<br/><br/>Angie had started to resign herself to remaining behind to cover the retreat of the three real-life humans below.  She could pick off the front members of monster mob coming down the street and see if those following them might stop to feed on their carcasses.  But she'd never seen these monstrosities feed on themselves.  They always seemed to prefer fresh human meat.<br/><br/>Then the guy that made all the noise and started the problem, ran for the front door of her building.  Could he possibly make matters any worse for everyone?  Every single day since she'd occupied this building, she'd piled more building materials, furniture, and anything else that was heavy against the stairwell doors on the first floor.  Ensuring the doors couldn't ever be opened by a monster invasion.  And she'd disabled the elevators with the cars locked on the top floor.  Commercial power in the city had gone down shortly thereafter.  So entering the lobby of the building was like walking into a dead end alley.  The zip lines to the surrounding buildings were her entrance and exit, since she had no intention of walking in the streets any more than necessary.<br/><br/>Angie glanced at the backup generator the owner of the building had thoughtfully installed in the corner of the patio.  Did that thing have enough juice to power an elevator one last time?  Grabbing a 100 foot power cord she'd plugged into the auxiliary outlet of the generator, she ran through the living room and out into the hallway, to the room housing the elevator equipment.  Plugging the end into a backup power plug, she turned the power to the elevators back on.  And sent one of the elevators down to the lobby.  Then she ran back to the patio wall to grab her rifle and watch the monsters, hoping they didn't spot which building the three humans had entered.  The last thing she needed was the guy with the loud mouth leading the monsters to her building like a modern day Pied Piper.
