“Any chance you know the password,” I ask Maria.

She shakes her head.

“Well, isn’t that dandy?” I turn to Riann. “Can you call Dylan? Maybe he has a work around.”

She checks her phone. “No service down here.”

Twenty-two seconds left.

Hank starts flipping over tablets.

“What are you doing?” Riann asks.

“People hate passwords. I bet someone marked it on the back of their tablet.”

“You’re crazy,” Riann says.

“Type in End of Days,” I say. “This crowd loves that stuff.”

She does and then frowns. “We only have two more guesses left. Let’s try Conrad. He’s a narcissist. What else would he use?”

She groans. “One more left.”

Eleven seconds.

I’m all out of ideas. Guessing the right password would be like finding one grain of sand in a desert, and if we don’t get this right, an alarm is going to ring, this area will go into lockdown, and we’ll be trapped.

Seven seconds left.

“Got it!” Hank rips a post-it note from the back of a tablet. “Type A-p-o-l-l-y-o-n.”

Two seconds left.

“That did it,” Riann says. “What’s it mean?”

Maria answers, “It’s the name of one of Lucifer’s dark angels.”

“Great,” Riann says, “but it doesn’t prove anything. Conrad might just be into that type of thing.”

“Just a coincidence that he’s into demons?” I ask. “What are the odds?”

“Stranger things have happened,” she says. “Look, Hank, just hacked into the computer system. Who would have thought that possible?”

He grins. “Not me.”

“See,” she swipes the screen. “Okay, the tablet is searching for the information.”

“Don’t you need to plug it into something?” Hank asks.

“Not in here. The local system is wireless but only within the lab,” she says. “It’s found the information on the chip and now it’s downloading it.”

“How much time does it need?” I ask. “Rand is not the waiting type.”

Riann places the tablet on a table. “It’s got one of those blue lines across the screen, but it’s not moving particularly fast. I imagine it’s a large file.”

We have nineteen minutes left, which means we really have nine minutes to get out of here. It’ll take us ten minutes if we hurry to the parking lot. It’s possible that Rand will give us a little extra time, but he doesn’t strike me as generous.

Hank lifts tablets and other gizmos, looks at them like they’re alien devices, and tosses them onto desks as if they’re contagious.

“Try not to break anything,” I say. “We don’t want them to know we snuck in. Maybe you should just hum something?”

“Any suggestions?”

“Not what you hummed in the car.”

Unlike Hank, Maria stands by the elevator, perfectly calm, as if she doesn’t have a care in the world.

“I think you should come with us,” I tell her. “I can’t guarantee your safety. The program should wipe the security cameras, but they could discover we came down here some other way. If they do, it won’t take them long to connect the break-in to you. You’ll be a sitting duck.”

She shakes her head. It’s impossible to read her emotions with the mask on, but her voice is a serene lake. “I’m not counting on you for my safety.
