I moved around to where he was
standing, paused for a moment, and then looked at him.
"So, who do you think it calls?" I asked.
"Only one way to find out," he answered, picking up the receiver. He
waited, I waited, and outside, Janine waited, watching us with curiosity.
Nothing happened.
"Did anyone answer?" I asked.
He didn't look at me, studying the monitors instead. "Nope," he said.
"I think that we should try another building," I began, but was
interrupted by the sound of the metal doors opening behind me. I turned
around quickly and took a step backwards, running into the desk. I
expected the missing receptionist to exit from the doors, but I was wrong.
It did, however, appear to be an elevator.
"On second thought," I said.
Janine entered the room through the revolving doors, then, asking how we
managed to open the doors.
"They just opened on their own," Hunter told her.
"That's creepy and ominous," she said. "So who's waiting for us on the
other end of the elevator?"
"Good question," I answered her, feeling a bit like someone was playing
with us. |
