The hallway is quiet and eo after that Maybe I can find an empty office where I can browse soh their file cabinet My plan sucks, but I can’t just wait around doing nothing anymore

At the end of the hallway, I hear male voices I jerk to a halt and try to peer around the corner without getting caught Two men in lab coats stand outside one of the exam rooms Dr Kapur and Dr Walters

“How do you knoon’t happen again?” Dr Walters asks

“It won’t These kids are young enough”

“What if they’re not?”

There’s a pause I flattennot to breathe What are they talking about? What are they worried will happen again? And what did they er,” Dr Kapur says

“Younger? It was hard enough getting five eighteen-year-olds We can’t get anyone younger! And if we do, they won’t be able to bring back the kind of data we need!”

“It doesn’t matter,” Dr Kapur continues “It won’t happen this ti about us Does that ht,” Dr Walters says with a sigh

“I’ve done the analysis and run the tests multiple times We won’t have any problems,” Dr Kapur says I hear“It’s alet to the accelerator”

“Yes, Lynne is waiting, and I need to check the calibrations before we start”

Padded steps co my steps back to my exam room They’re about to turn the corner I won’t make it in time
