"The boxes then," Josephine declared, setting about removing boxes from the floor, for where else would an entrance to the sewers dwell?
David gives Josephine a hand with the boxes, passing along some of the furthest ones towards the front. The thinner man, with beady eyes, weaselly demeanor, and deferential nature is strange. Shaking his head, the Shadow puts the thought out of his mind, searching for any hidden entrance the group of Kindred might have missed.
Not one to stand around while others do the work, Sergei steps in and starts moving boxes since he is aware time is critical in this endeavor. He contemplates whether America is like Russia, Back home the government would hide such an easement behind a secret door or floor panel. Eyeing the flooring with suspicion.

Hildegarde can only watch with Sergei at this point. The space is only so big, after all. Instead she hisses and positions herself so she can watch for trouble. Far from being a stealthy insertion, the group is large and making too much noise.

Below the boxes, the concrete floor continues.
Activating Heightened Senses: Hearing
With a hung head, David let's his hands move over the walls of the supply closet, now free of boxes. Turning his hand, he uses his knuckles to knock along the walls, ears trained and keen on the sound of knuckles against dry-wall.
The sound of solid wall is remembered and as the other walls are 'tested,' compared to. The Shadow suspects the wall in front of him, will ring false.

Watching the group move boxes for a few moments, it was when David began knocking on the walls that she stepped fully into the room. As she did so, she inhaled, and called upon her blood.
"The map said the entrance was here. The sign says the entrance is here. We have not found the entrance... it is time to make one." And moving around the rearranged boxes, she leaned against the large safe aiming to lift it back at an angle. Once she had it a few inches off the ground, she quickly removed her support, allowing it to smash back to the ground. Kneeling down, she examined the concrete floor, looking to see if any damage had been done to it before straightening and clearly looking to repeat the same or a similar motion with the safe.

Stepping back out of the way, Sergei watches the Duchess go to work. Definitely not the way I would have gone about this, however I can see why she is the Archon. He glances over to watch Regan examine the walls. It's got to be the walls or the floor. Pulling to mind the blueprint he attempts to reexamine it to determine where the entrance should be.

The safe slamming into the floor is loud; but not as loud as one might expect. It's the dull, deep sound of two very solid masses striking.
The floor trembles and concrete cracks, spiderwebbing outward and then forming edges, until a square half the size of the closet is outlined. A neat, regular square.
David's knuckles find plenty of drywall, but obviously they're walls adjacent to other rooms. He also finds a stud... or two.

Twist runs her fingers along the spiderwebbing cracks and makes a satisfied noise. Then standing she glances about the small room, the only warning she clearly plans on giving those gathered.
Then reaching around the safe with her small arms, she takes a moment to find a good stronghold and then lefts.
And then slams it down. Attempting to drive the heavy safe through the concrete where the cracks are concentrated. Her face calm as she does so.
