Your mindreading skills continue to amaze me. Why would she immediately leap to "power outage" solely based on an elevator not coming? It must have been some mass power outage hysteria affecting multiple people.
If it was so obvious that there was no power then why bother pushing any buttons?
Mr. BELIN - Then what did you do ?
Miss ADAMS - Following that, I pushed the button for the passenger elevator, but the power had been cut off on the elevator, so I took the stairs to the second floor.
