CHAPTER 29

“Sam!” Mia came running toward him as he got to the elevator and stopped in front of him to lay her hands on his armored chest.

“You’re okay?” he asked and held her shoulders. “What happened? Where’d you go? You’ve been gone for over an hour.”

“Something was coming up behind me after you went inside the room. I thought it was Olga. I tried to call out, but you had vanished. I hid, and didn’t know when to come out.” Her words came fast and she held onto him as she spoke. “Then when I did, you were gone. Sorry, I’m not very brave.”

“You’re okay, that’s the main thing,” he replied. “Did you see?”

“The room?” She nodded. “I think I did. What was all that stuff?”

“I wish I knew. The machinery is still operational, that’s the upside. The downside is I don’t know what the hell is going on in there. The humidity is extraordinarily high and creating vapor. Plus, there’s some sort of sticky, extruded matter everywhere. Looks like something melted in there.”

“But that person standing outside –”

“No sign of him or her. The suit was empty.”

“Oh God, just like outside. Did you secure the room?”

“No. If I do, I don’t know if I’ll be locking the entity out, or locking it in. I did a scan but found nothing. But that might just mean whatever it was doesn’t show up on our spectrums.” He shrugged.

Mia held her head. “This is a nightmare.”

“You said it. Let’s go back and report in. See where everyone else is at.” Sam hit the button for the elevator and when the doors slid open, he waited for Mia to enter first and turned to give the empty corridor one last look. “And this time, stay close.”
