Room: C4-336

Code: 99136

Report for duty immediately after indoctrination.

Thank goodness I know what indoctrination means.

After observing me open the envelope and read its contents, Smith opened the door and left without another word to me. I had no chance to ask him a single question.

Is this a test? How am I supposed to know where this room is? I thought, dumbfounded, staring at the door of the cubbyhole room.

Okay, let's break it down, Ann. What's C4? I coached myself.

I left the cubby-room and approached the newcomers' briefing instructor, who was still in the hall, answering questions from my classmates.

"Excuse me," I asked during a lull in the questions. "Can I get a map of offices? I'm suppose to find a room but don't know my way around yet," I asked her.

"We don't have maps of CIA headquarters, but if you'll tell me the office number, I'll help direct you," she replied courteously.

"It's C4-336," I replied.

"Okay, the four means it's the fourth floor. The first number after that is the department; you're going to department three. The room number is thirty-six. Head up to the fourth floor elevators---you'll need to show your badge to the guard there. Once you get up there, the departments will be numbered sequentially. If you see any doors without numbers, skip them," she patiently explained.

"Thank you," I sincerely replied.

What's the C stand for? I wondered, but figured I'd better not ask.

Heading to the elevators, I was stopped by a guard who put his hand up, blocking my path.

Stopping, I looked up.

"I haven't seen you before," the six-foot-four black guard stated in a deep bass voice.

"Today is my first day," I replied with a forced smile, looking up at him. I raised my badge from the chain around my neck and held it next to my face---just like the newcomer briefing instructor told us to.

"My name is Ed," he offered.

"I'm Ann...Ann Torgeson," I nervously responded.

"No need for last names, Ann. Nice to meet you; go on ahead," he vibrated.

Once in the elevator alone, I thought, Welcome to the CIA.

After reaching the fourth floor, I exited the elevator and turned left---that being the only choice---then turned left again. The floor was covered with square tiles from the 1970's and was obviously buffed regularly, though snags of dirt were collecting at the edges of the hall. There was neither art nor posters on the walls, which were all painted a light gray. It looked like a prison.

I scanned the room numbers...51...52...53...I was going the wrong way. I turned back the other way and saw the numbers starting with 01...02...03...

Finally I reached 36. I hoped this was where I was supposed to be. I opened the door. Ahead of me was another door with a cipher lock on the outside, containing a series of five vertical stainless steel buttons just below the silver door handle. Above me in the corner of the ceiling, tilting down, was a large camera. I sighed.

They're not kidding about this little test.
