CHAPTER 19

Hitesh whipped his head around in panic. “They are going to find us now.”

Suddenly Roshan found a hand on his shoulder. He turned around. It was a familiar face. The woman had dark red hair that was in stark contrast to the raven black heads of the other employees. It was the lady from Hongshan Park who had given them her ID card. The woman placed a finger on her lips and motioned to them with a nod to come to the farthest corner of the cafeteria. They followed her to the corner.

Baldev glanced at the woman and spoke. “What do you want?”

“I’m here to help you.”

“How did you know we are here?”

She pointed to Baldev’s ID and smiled. “Remember, I have administrative access to everything? I located you the moment you entered the building. The security team will take some more time to determine how you entered the datacenter, but then they will immediately figure out you are here.”

“Can you help us get out of here?”

She nodded. “Follow me.”

She led the way to a small door marked ‘Cafeteria Staff Only’, swiped her card and the four of them entered. Roshan saw they were in a narrow passage that ended in a large kitchen. The staffers were milling about busy preparing the food. They continued walking along one end of the kitchen to another door on the far end marked Exit.

“This way leads to the service elevators used by the staff.” She said.

Baldev frowned. “Bad idea. They will be guarding the service exits too.”

“I know. We will have to improvise.”

She pushed the door and they stepped in a vestibule that led to the elevators. Lined along one side of the wall was a row of ten large green trash buckets. She pointed to them.

“Get into them. That’s your ticket out of here.”

Roshan open the lid of a trash bucket and peered inside. His nose was immediately assaulted by a suffocating pungent stink. The trash bucket was half-filled with both raw and cooked food waste. It smelled like a dog had died in there. Bile choked up his throat and he swallowed the repulsive feeling. It reminded him of one of his Army training tasks.

He watched Baldev and Hitesh jump in one bucket each and squatted in them. The trash buckets were large enough to hide them. Underneath the cans, he saw rollers fitted for movement. He resignedly picked up a bucket and plopped himself inside. He sank to his knees in the refuse. The stench was overpowering. He just hoped he could hang in there.

“I will now cover the top and take you guys out one by one. Stay quiet and don’t move.” She took a cloth mask from a rack nearby and covered her mouth and nose to look the part of a facility cleaner. “Now, I’ll be unrecognizable from the other cafeteria staff.”

Roshan watched her put a lid on his bucket. His vision turned dark. His heartbeat thumped loudly in the pitch black confines. His clothes had become dirty and he felt an itch on his nose he couldn’t scratch.
