Farm owner Colin went to his lawyer’s office and discovered that a pregnant woman had gone into labor in the elevator. He got her out, thankfully, but was summoned to court for property damage. Surprisingly, his trusted lawyer did not show up to court…
“Have you called someone? Does security know?”
“We need to get her out!”
Colin heard the commotion as he approached the elevator of the building. He had been visiting his lawyer for some final signatures for a small expansion he had bought for his farm, which had taken a long time to complete. Finally, he was done with all the red tape and would be able to start his new project, but the unrest around him distracted him from his plan.

“What’s going on?” he asked the people panicking in front of the elevator.
“There’s a woman stuck in the elevator alone!” a woman replied hysterically.
“Well, calm down. Security will open it soon,” Colin said, not understanding her attitude.
“She’s in labor! Her water broke, and she’s all alone in there!” the woman said, wiping her sweaty forehead.
“Oh, Jesus. Has someone called 911?” he wondered, starting to worry like the rest of the people around him.
“Yes, but–Oh, my God. Can you hear her screaming?” the woman pointed out, distraught.
She was right. The woman inside the elevator was screaming – a horrible, excruciating screech that would probably be even worse if the elevator doors were open. Colin felt like he should do something. Suddenly, he remembered the crowbar sitting on the trunk of his pickup inside the building’s underground parking lot.

He looked around and found the emergency stairs. He turned to the strange woman and yelled, “I’ll be back!” He took off at a run. They were on the 11th floor, but he ran like never before.
Colin reached his truck with barely any breath left, but somehow, he didn’t even stop. He grabbed the crowbar and ran back. Going up the stairs was much more difficult, but he continued, knowing they needed to open those doors immediately.
Finally, he reached the 11th floor. “Everyone move!” he told the gathering, and when they did, he started banging on the door, trying to find some purchase so they could open the doors.
“Help me!” he screamed again when his crowbar slightly separated the doors.
The men placed their hands in the crevice, and they pulled until the doors finally gave up and opened.
The woman was writhing on the floor, and it was a whole mess that no one there was prepared to handle except a few women who rushed to her.
“Should we take her downstairs?” Colin asked, his chest moving quickly as he tried to recover from his massive efforts.
“I don’t think we can move her,” someone said. “Let’s wait for the paramedics.”
