Liz is hurrying across the courtyard because she’s not dressed warmly enough. It’s so hard to tell what to wear when the weather is all over the map.
She pulls open the door to the computer building and steps gratefully into the warmth.
At least there isn’t any snow. Yet.
Vlad looks up and smiles at her from behind the security desk. She grins and waves and Vlad waves back. But as Liz crosses the lobby toward the stairwell, she realizes her favorite security guard isn’t just returning her wave, he’s waving her over. Her watch tells her she has time, so she changes course to see what he wants.
“Hey Vlad, how’s it going?”
“Things are happening Miss Liz, that I thought you might wish to know.”
Liz cocks her head and frowns. She can see from Vlad’s expression she is not going to like what he is about to tell her. Her smile falls away and she asks, “What?”
“It’s the police, Miss Liz. They are back again.”
Liz pales. “Oh no. Was there another attack?
“No. No, nothing like that. It is the young man they arrested. Apparently they got the wrong man.”
“Oh. Not good. But better than another attack, anyway.”
“Yes, you are right about that.”
“Are they in the same room?”
Vlad nods.
“Thanks for letting me know. I’ll tell Natasha.”
“How is Miss Natasha doing?”
“A lot better. She’s still pretty sore though.”
“Tell her I said hello, please.”
