so about two hours ago, i was in my bathroom and i could hear a fire alarm but it went stopped. then about an hour and a half ago, i saw my kitchen filled with smoke. i thought it was my stove, so i cleaned the bitch and waited a little while and then checked again... still smokey... it was more smokey even.
i went downstairs and woke the dude up and he said that it wasn't his alarm, but the girl next door (since the downstairs is divided up into two apartments).
so i went to around the building to her door and banged on her door and got no answer. hit the doorbell... no answer.
i decided to call the landlord's son and he came over and we tried like hell to get in the door but it wouldn't budge even though the knob was unlocked, so we figured that it was deadbolted. we tried to break the door in, but being a steel fucking door, it just left us all with sore sides. we used a crowbar trying to pry the strip away from the doorframe but there wasn't enough space to do anything. so we got a ladder and tried to pull the window (which was 15 feet up) open but it was locked too. he looked in, but the venetian blinds blocked any view. he used the crow bar trying to force the window against the lock to no avail. he came back down the ladder, got a hammer and a towel, and went back up and cracked the window.
he managed to unlock the shit and got the panes out, but couldn't fit through the opening. i volunteered to go in, so he came back down the ladder, and i went up. after some thought and negotiating, i managed to jump off of the ladder onto the tiny ledge and basically fell onto her kitchen floor. i saw the place was hazy as shit. i couldn't see more than 5 feet in front of me.
there wasn't any fire though. i went straight through the kitchen/dinette, unbolting and opening her front/only door on the way and calling for them to come in. the alarm was super loud as i walked into her bedroom, just checking shit out and i see her sprawled, face up, across the bed.
i got the fright of my fucking life. there wasn't any way someone could sleep through that shit, so i thought she was fucking dead. i grabbed her leg and shook it. she woke up (thank fucking god) and screamed. i told her that her shit was all smokey and i helped her up and her out of the place.
it turns out she hadn't slept for a while and she was out cold. she said she didn't hear the alarm. as the landlord's son bitched at her, i interrupted, introducing myself. she told me her name was adrieene (sp?) and i took my leave.
