I don’t look up again until I’m practically underneath the windows of the industrial building. I grab my knees and bend over. A sharp knife is cutting through my stomach and I clench my muscles to try to stop the pain. My breathing is short and fast and I feel like I might pass out, but something wakes me up again. A sensation of pain in my hand. I’m gripping the rifle so hard that my right hand’s cuts have reopened, the slices from the glass knife. New red is coming through the gloves. Voley watches me in confusion, hoping we’re finally getting out of the snow. His entire body is white speckled with brown, and he shakes again and again, but hardly any of it comes off. What he does manage to shake free covers him again in the next moment. We’re almost in, come on, I say, and we push up to the building wall. I start to search the front for the door, praying it’s not buried. There is a block of windows above me that goes up about four floors. I see the front door, off to the left. It has the same water-tight frame that the apartment building had. Part of the structure above the roof keeps going, like its rising on stilts, until there’s a wide rectangular room with windows in it. Like some kind of lookout tower, a secret fifth floor. Behind that is the smoke. Everything is gray and white except for a small narrow plaque above the entrance. We make our way over, climbing up and then down into snow that someone’s been digging out to keep the door free. We sink down until we’re right on the doorstep. Nothing to dig out. I read the plaque overhead: New Saint Vrain Nuclear Control Station – East Gate Compound.
