The freight elevator must have been a ruse, sent down just to confuse them, 
run them around. Maybe Striper sent her animal to the ground floor, but it’s
irrelevant. The key point is that animals don’t operate freight elevators and
they don’t slam doors shut, not like this, not in a way that’s sure to attract
attention. Striper must be above them, regardless of where her animal went. 
Hammer’s going to enjoy killing the slot. If only because she’s dragging things
out so much. Really getting him bent.
