Ileana pressed the button for twelve as she said, "Not yet. Only time I spoke to him was to have him tell me how I come from a background of thieves." She tried to keep a scowl off her face with little success.
The elevator lurched to a start, slowly ascending floors. She brightened a little, "But! I think there's only two cops now. The gypsy hater is the only real problem cop. The other is pretty quiet." Ileana paused to think of what she could warn Stefan about before adding in, "The landlord is nameless, the building is mysterious and strange, and neighbors are prone to gossip."
Ileana laughed a little when the elevator came to an abrupt stop at the eighth floor, doors opening and not moving any farther. "And this is why we don't take the elevator." She hit the button again for 12 to show Stefan, but the elevator didn't even seem to bother paying attention to the button.
