"Okay." Repeated softly, half for her own sake as well. There was a brief moment of reprieve then, head tilting back on the plexi-glass even as her hand moved along the bottom. Still searching.
No. No reprieve. She stood up quickly, looking around. "I heard it." What -was- it though? Dark eyes were wide, trying to find the source. "It's gettin' quicker." Just like her heart. Tonks banged on the glass then, shouting for help. But in between her shouts she heard that beep go so fast that it nearly became one long noise. And heard the pumps kick in after that.
She looked to Elliot then, mouth in a thin line. "Remind me to hex them into the next life." She was so scared and angry that the witch might just be able to hex someone without a wand. "We need to hit the button again, hey?" Quick-like, Tonks was trying to maneuver back to where the button was. But the cloudy gas was rolling in at a rate that was faster than Tonks could move.
