"Shut the fudge up?" He teases. "This is just to confirm. This elevator goes to every floor. Every floor exists so far. We can agree on that, right? Just establishing observable facts. I promise it pays off. When we get to the fourteenth--mm."

Tim cuts off when they reach the eleventh floor and a pair of exhausted, surly counselor-teachers slide in with them. He scoots closer to Beth, shoots her a closed-mouth look. Glances out the door. Floor eleven. The new riders are going up to thirteen, and the quiet that they brought in gives Tim a chance to look and think. He nudges Beth when the doors opens on Floor Twelve and no one gets out, breathes a quiet "Thirteen" when that floor arrives and the counselors exit. He only takes a few inches of space back as the doors close again. "So--is it Jesus that keeps you from swearing or believing in ghosts? I'm just--making guesses here."

It's a stupid joke on his part, and still not something she'd say--shut the hell up, it's really not that hard--but she doesn't bother answering. He's just being a dick. She's not encouraging that. And then the counselors show up, and she's definitely not saying anything in front of them. Until he demands to know whether she's the kind of Christian who says gosh and shoot, she's silent, neither looking at him nor ignoring him.

"Yeah, you are." And you're standing too close. Either way, she's not taking the bait that easily. She glances up at the number 13 as they climb toward the top floor. "It could be on the thirteenth floor. That's the only place we've seen people."

The fourteenth floor looks exactly the same as all the others to her--wait. No, it doesn't. There's a little puddle of something red (maybe blood, maybe not, she can't smell it from here) at the edge of the visible corridor. Beth glances over at Tim. "Can we get off this time?"
