We pulled at the door, but it was locked. I looked around, out of options, as the footsteps grew louder and louder. I spotted a rusted, metal bar in the corner of the stairwell. I ran to grab it, and Sara and I pried open the rooftop door. We slammed the bar into the door handles. Just as we hid behind the chimney, the doors started to shake.
