"Yeah." Lara waited until Peri was standing before she pushed herself off the wall and stepped to the middle of the corridor.
"Okay." Lara pointed down one end of the hall. "Those stairs were blocked going up the last time I looked." She pointed down the other way. "And those were blocked going up and down. There's no way in hell I'm using the elevator, so..." She looked at Peri. "The stairs keep playing tricks on me, so I think we should each go down to a set of stairs, look at them, and if they are cleared going up, then just stand there and wait for the other person to come and join you at those stairs so they'll still be there. Make sense?"
