Katherine sat in a cab, chewing her nails as she waited across the street from the parking garage exit of the DaLair corporate office. She tried the front entrance first, only to find security waiting to escort her out. As much as she tried to protest, claiming Julius had only been joking, security took his last orders seriously. Until Julius told them directly to ignore his last order, she was barred from the building.
Next, she tried to enter through the parking area, knowing there had to be elevator access. Unfortunately, the parking garage had barred gates and only those with company keycards could access it. Denied twice, she had no choice but to sit and wait.
The cab driver said nothing as they idled. Every minute the meter continued to run up, so it meant more money for him.
