Maddie turned to Jonah, her eyebrows raised. He hitched a shoulder in question as well but stepped closer to the control panel.
“I’m here.”
“Thanks. Could you try to manually open the doors?”
Jonah thought of it as an odd request, but before he could respond, Maddie piped up, “You do know this is a bit sexist, right? You could have asked me that question too.”
Of all the people, he had to be stuck with someone who walked the path of political correctness. However, Jonah chose to remain silent, not wanting to engage in this particular conversation. Instead, he gestured towards the doors. “Be my guest.”
Some static noise followed from the panel. “Maddie, this isn’t about sexism. I needed to talk to Jonah as well. It’s not only about finding out what can be done but also understanding your mental state.”
She blew out a frustrated sigh and slouched her shoulders. “I know you’re right, and I do apologise. I just feel so helpless.”
Jonah winked at her. “Let’s tackle this together.”

She rolled her eyes but stayed silent.

“Could you confirm if the light is still on?”

She blinked, and he couldn’t help but wonder about the significance of the question either. He gave her a shrug, but with a little nod, he encouraged her to reply.

“It’s basically dark, except for a dim light.”

“Thanks,” the electronic voice said. “May I ask if Jonah is an adult?”

Facing him, she studied him with deliberate slowness, creating an oddly awkward atmosphere between them. “Not sure why he wouldn’t be, but, yes, he’s a fine specimen of an adult.”

“May I speak with him?”

“Thanks. What’s your name, ma’am?”

“I’m Maddie. Actually, it’s Mandinka, but everyone calls me Maddie. Maddie Torres. And we’re stuck in a lift. In Alinta Bay. It’s in Victoria.”

Jonah cocked a brow and crossed his arms, a hint of amusement tugging at his lips despite the situation.

“The two of you and no one else?”

Jonah was certain the security person had to hold back on his mirth as well.

Maddie’s forehead creased into a frown, and she shot him a glare that wiped the amusement in an instant. Focussing on the panel, she responded, “Yes, just the two of us. Isn’t that enough?”

“Apologies, ma’am. It most certainly is.”

She pursed her lips, inhaling deeply before replying, “This lift should have already started moving downward by now if it was a minor issue.”

An eerie feeling crept over him. A worry that she was putting on a front and slowly spiralling into panic.

“Have you tried the emergency button yet?”

He nodded and moved towards the lift’s controls, hitting the red button again.

“No response?”

Taking a few calming breaths, he tried again, this time with a gentler touch. A red switch lit up, and a static voice asked, “Triple C Security. What’s your name?”

Maddie joined him at the panel. “His name is Jonah.”

“Did you hear me?”

He shook his head slightly. “Apologies.”

“I said, I hope the local police didn’t upset a retiree by just giving him the traditional gold watch.”

It took a moment for him to comprehend her attempt to humour the situation. A soft chuckle escaped him, as he stood. “There has to be an emergency button.”

Maddie stood as well but was still unsteady and reached for his arm. “Good thinking.” She retrieved her mobile, flipped it open, and pressed a few buttons. “There’s no reception in here. How the hell can we have zero reception in here?”

He raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure you’re all right?”

Gently, he placed his hand over hers and as calmly as possible, he introduced himself. “Hey, there. I’m Jonah.”

Slowly, she lifted her head to meet his gaze.

“I’m sure there’s no reason to worry. We’ll be moving along soon again,” he added in an attempt to comfort her.

A small smile gradually spread across her face. “Nice meeting you, Jonah, though I wish it were under different circumstances,” she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. She took a deep breath and added with more spark, “I’m Maddie, by the way.”

“Nice to meet you.”

Her deep blue eyes held him captive, and he found himself lost in them until her voice brought him back from his thoughts.
