The alarms rang all around them. Mitch dropped the ceiling tile back in place.
“Sam, what’s going on?”
“I don’t know,” her voice answered over his intercom.
“Which level has triggered the alarm?” Mitch asked.
“It’s the fourth floor.”
“OK, sit tight.”
“What are we going to do?” she asked.
“Nothing, yet,” Mitch turned to Adam. “Any experience in shutdown mode? What happens next?”
“In these buildings, all emergency doors are locked, all exits and windows sealed.”
“For how long?”
“Until the code is put in and the room is secured again,” he answered.
“Sure?”
“Positive. They’ve had a few security scares in recent times here and other buildings in the area.”
Mitch sighed. “We might be here for the long haul.”
A light flashed on his watch. Mitch looked directly at it.
