Chapter 15 ~ YMCA

Surprisingly to all of them, except for Sam, it seemed, the door to the YMCA was completely unlocked. It opened without resistance and they all just strolled into the main hallway. It was as if they were open for business in the middle of the night, without a problem. As they entered, there were offices on either side of them. The doors to the offices were locked, at least the ones on the right were. The door on the left opened into a big meeting room. They ventured a peek inside, but there didn't seem to be anything other than one big table, some well-worn chairs and a whiteboard. It was hard to make out in the dim light of the moon, which shone in through the big window to the meeting room. There didn't look to be anything of value here, so they moved on.

There was a narrow window next to the door into the main offices. They could see rows of cubicles and a few doors that probably led to smaller offices. The door lock was electronic, but still remained locked in spite of the lack of power. Even if they had a key card, they wouldn't have been able to open it.

They ventured further down the hall, through another set of doors, and found themselves standing in a narrow hallway surrounded by windows on both sides. The windows went floor to ceiling on both sides. The windows looked down on two swimming pools. The one on the right was a bigger one, with lanes for swimming. They couldn't see all the way to the end of the pool in the moonlight filtering through the skylights above the pool. The pool on the other side was smaller and had special apparatus that looked like it was for helping handicapped people into the pool. There were access ramps, suspension straps and what looked like a mechanized lift chair.

They ventured further down the hall before Holly spoke up.

"Well, if anything I suppose it looks like we found plenty of water."

"Is it safe to drink chlorinated water?" Gary asked.

"Can't say I've ever heard of anybody dying from swallowing too much water at the swimming pool," Garrett offered.

"We really should keep our voices down until we're sure that we're the only ones in here," Sam said in a quieter tone. Everyone nodded in agreement, even Gary.

Through the next set of doors, they entered what appeared to be the central atrium of the facility. There was a welcome desk and a ceiling that was several floors high. They were surrounded by windows looking into other rooms, but couldn't see what the other rooms were. It was too dark now.

"We should just wait here for a few minutes and let our eyes adjust to the dark," Sam suggested. "Keep your ears open as well, just in case there's someone else in the building. I'd rather hear them before they hear us."

The five of them inched their way to the center of the atrium area and found a table with chairs.
