WTF

The lethal sound in his voice said he planned to kill them. “What? What does that mean?” she hissed, right as a bang sounded below. Mordecai shut the door and the second he did, locks automatically engaged, making her jump.

She stared for several seconds, breathless then hurried to it. She turned her head and pressed her ear to the metal surface, straining to hear. The dead silence made her wonder just how thick the door might be.

She glanced over her shoulder and got busy discovering her surroundings. The room reminded her of her gramma’s tiny house, nine feet wide and twice as long. She eyed the wall on the left, filled with every manner of weapon, guns mostly. Knives, bows, other… things she wasn’t sure of. She walked slowly, turning to the right wall. The white cabinets were built in with no knobs on the doors.

She went over and felt along the underside for a button or something. She pressed on the face of one of the doors and it gave a metallic click then sprung open. Food. Rows of matching cans, perfectly aligned. Her eye immediately caught the exact symmetry of every can. Even the words on the duplicate food items lined up. For some reason, it made her feel so very sorry for him. What a torment.

She pressed the next door, discovering more of the same, and the same on the next, all the way down the entire wall. What in the world was he planning for? An alien invasion?

She searched to the end of the room and almost turned before seeing another crack along the top edge. She followed it down and instinctively reached out and pushed it. The same metallic click happened, and the door sprung open. She pulled it open and lights on the ceiling fluttered on one after another, brighter with every second.

Her jaw dropped at the wall of monitors and equipment on the left. What in the world? Her brain sputtered to understand as her memory threw up the talk of them using monitors. There was no way he had time to install all this.

She looked at the perfectly made bed on the right and the old military-style writing desk at the foot with a rusty green lantern. She went back to the monitors, her brain buzzing with the puzzle before her. This was… like… spy stuff.

The idea that he might be some kind of secret agent was climbing up her list of options. What else would this stuff be for?

She continued forward, wondering if there might be an exit at the end of the strange room. She discovered a toilet, shower and sink on the left, and a fridge and microwave on the right. She stepped up to the end wall, examining it for another secret door, sliding her fingers along its edges and pressing it in various spots.

Only a wall. Her mind gravitated to the dilemma behind her and what it all meant.
