Coulson turned the flashlight off with a faint click, and the flickering light was enough to keep the stairwell lit, throwing long dark shadows. Sitwell's knocking brought a long silence, with only the crackling below, and then suddenly an ear shattering screech.
Coulson peered over the stairwell into the flickering light at the bottom, which seemed to be a rather large fire, and looked back to Jasper. "I'm not sure they want to tal-" Before he could finish a figure flew up like a shot, slamming into Coulson and taking him with it, leaving Jasper alone, the flashlight skipping down several stairs before coming to a halt. The light below was abruptly snuffed out, and the stairwell thrown into pitch black and silence.
