Chapter 36 by Javalar Javalar

What do you want to investigate?

The office tower.

"Let's try to sneak into the tower!", you whisper to Sara. If you want to find proof, there's a better chance finding it there. That's, after all, where the computers and files are supposed to be. Sara casts a glance at the big warehouse type building that is "factory #1", purses her lips as if she wants to disagree with your suggestion, but nods finally.

"Alright. Lead the way!", she says, and you immediatly get going. You try to stay in the shade of the walls as you get closer and closer to the big tower. The front entrance is brightly lit, but there are indeed several backdoors. The first two are closed, but the third one, some kind of delivery entrance is, to your surprise, unlocked.

You hasten inside the building and close the door behind you. Dimmed neon light flickers in the hallway.

The two of you quietly walk through the corridors, climbing stairs, carefully sneaking around corners... until you reach a floor that looks like an office level. Your first impulse is to run at the first desk you see and start the computer, but Sara grabs your shoulder and shakes her head.

"I am pretty sure they don't hide secrets here at the ordinary levels. We need to find the management floors. The top floors", she whispers.

You think about it and must admit that she's probably right.

So you work your way up. You don't dare taking the elevator, and climb the stairs as silent as possible instead. As seen from the outside, some rooms still have lights, and from what you percieve, there are indeed some few people still working at this time of the day. More reason to avoid them. Then again... maybe this is good news as well, because two women walking through the tower is not immediatly suspicious. Of course, the way you are "walking" kind of is.

You must be pretty high up already when you suddenly hear voices talking. Several ones. Sara glances around a corner, and quickly withdraws her head. Her eyes almost seem to gleam in the dark. "A whole group! Discussing something!", she tells you, triumphantly.

You could try to sneak up on those people to find out more. If they hold a midnight meeting, it must be important, right?

What's next?
