She was beginning to get it together and looked around, keeping the cloth Julia had given her pressed to her head as she asked with a measure of dread "How much air do we have in here?"
 
"A person can stay in a vault like this for about six to eight hours." Julia answered, not bothering to point out that there were two people now stuck in one.  She didn't have to point that fact out, Alex would know.
 
Julia got on the desk next to Alex and laid down.  There was no way out from their end and the less they moved around, the less air they needed to breath.  She looked at her friend, silently urging her to do the same, only to close her eyes and concentrate on her baby, thinking assuring thoughts that Derek will find them in time -- for Amelia and herself.
