Philby and Finn remained hidden behind the towering rack of servers when the door to the supercooled room opened. Over the steady sound of the air conditioning and the computer fans could be heard a nose sniffing. Philby looked down at the brown muck and pieces of food and litter adhered to his clothing. Unfortunately, he’d already grown accustomed to the foul odor. Clearly the guard had picked up on it.

The nose worked the air in short little sniffs. The sound moved toward the two boys.

“What in heaven’s name is that smel ?” said a woman softly to herself.

The guard reached the towering enclosure they hid behind.

“Ah-ha!” the guard said.

She tried to squeeze herself between the two enclosures. Finn and Philby had slipped through; judging by the sounds she was making, she was not a perfect fit.

“Joyce, what’s your twenty?” a male voice said over her radio. “Fresh coffee when you’re ready.” The woman guard stood there, basical y stuck between the two metal enclosures. She was maybe two feet from Philby. Her hand shot out from the gap, and nearly touched him as she tried to get to her radio. After a second try, she backed out into the main part of the room.

“Pour me a cup. I’m on my way. Tel Base that Data Operations is clear. They can send their guy over.”
