"Fucking.. Come on," Marcus muttered under his breath. The front panel of the control box rested on the floor next to his knee, and his fingers tangled in the writhing wires to separate each one and trace it from beginning to end. His free hand gave a pair of wire cutters a test squeeze as he anxiously tried to figure out how to open the door. If he messed up and cut the wrong wires, they might never be able to get in. On the other hand, if he didn't try at all, then that was even worse.<br/><br/>From its place on his belt, his com device crackled to life and Blue's voice came in from the other line. They'd made more progress than he had, that was for certain. He sighed, sitting back on his legs and plucking his com device from his waist. "Hey hey, congrats!" he said, idly flashing the light of his torch over the exposed control box. "You guys try to run the water yet? Is it hot?" As a particular wire caught his eye, Marcus let his finger slowly release the transmit button, ditching his device altogether in favor of picking up his wire cutters again. He muttered a good luck to himself, and as soon as it started to make sense to him, Marcus singled out the wire he'd noticed and one other. He breathed in and held it as he snapped the cutters down over both of the black-coated wires and dropped his tools, grabbing the end of one wire and the beginning of another. The pads of his thumbs supported the frayed ends of the wires as he scraped the two together. He felt a small shock of electricity run through his hands, but it wasn't until he'd done it two or three more times that the LED on the pinpad changed. He hadn't noticed it at first, instead throwing himself backwards to the floor in frustration. He'd just about given up and spared the control box one last look. And that's when he saw the green light. He picked his com device up slowly, as if any sudden movements would scare the door into locking again. "I think I might have just gotten in, too."
