Providence Descending by Sarah Boone (best interesting books to read .TXT) π
Excerpt from the book:
Her father always said that there are three situations when it's a bad idea to use an elevator: when there's a fire in the building, when there's a robbery, and when you're in need of a quick escape. However, as she was caught in the midst of all three, an elevator seemed to be Lucy's only route of departure.
Certainly burglary and fire complicated things, especially since Lucy was the thief. The fire she could only blame on the devil; perhaps he'd finally come for her. She didn't know. All she knew was that she was going to come out of that building cop-free or not at all.

βThose elevators are deathtraps, Lucy. They'll be the death of you. Stay away from them.β
And she intended to.
Every door in the corridor was locked, but none of them mattered to Lucy. There were no exits on the other side. This floor, the cellar floor, was for records only β rooms for credit files labeled A-C, D-G, E-H, all the way down to U-Z. Lucy already had what she'd come for in the clear plastic envelope tucked below her arm. It was her reason for going and her reason for going out. She didn't even know what was inside.
Prompted by immediacy, she pressed the up button; frightened by the idea of betraying her father's advice, she retreated back down the deserted hallway. Her footfalls were muted by the wail of the fire alarm. She couldn't hear her own heaving breaths as they surged through her chest like hot bile; she shook and over-heated like a junkie with a need. And her need was to get out. Now.
The day before yesterday she'd been a normal person, and now she was this.
