At some point the buzzing of the aliens barely reached Michael's ears.
"Must be safe outside..." He reasoned. "Want to leave the box?"
"N—No!" She blurted out wanting to prolong the moment.
"I—I mean, must we risk our safety needlessly? It would be smarter to wait here for our team to find us!"
Michael saw some merit to her words. Going out now could disturb the plans of their unit.
"I don't mind it, but judging the color of your face, you must find it difficult to breathe." He chuckled, pointing out her charming face.
"I assure you, I have never felt better!" She pouted slightly.
Several minutes faded, passing faster than seconds in Ava's mind. Eventually they heard the sound of whistling.
"Boss? Are you here?" Richard said casually, pacing around the building with hands in pockets.
As if awakened from a trance, Ava realized she had let her emotions cloud her judgment.
Thud!
