"So do I," Derek agreed quickening his step. He chose to lead them up the
stairs instead of taking hte elevator. Although it may not seem the
shortest route, it really was faster. When they reached the proper door,
he pounded on it loudly. "Ria, it's Derek." Not hearing anything from
inside he tried the knob, it was locked. He turned to Philip, "We'll have
to break the latch," he told him. The force of the two of them hitting the
door together should do it, hopefully. Fortunately, most domiciles were not
as well protected as the Legacy.
