Wilson. She’s in there.”
    “If she’s in Chicago, she’s probably out.”
    “I am so tired of hearing that.” Kyle snapped. “You people know nothing. And I can’t argue. I have to get my daughter.” Kyle kept walking.
    “Sir.” Sgt. Wilson trotted up, attempting to keep pace. “This area is under martial law. You can’t go in there.”
    Kyle moved on.
    “You will be placed under arrest.”
    Kyle kept on moving.
    “Sir, this is a stop or I’ll shoot situation.” Sgt. Wilson grew aggravated.
    “Tough.” Kyle called out.
    “Stop right now or I’ll shoot.”
    Kyle adjusted his bag, walked on and spoke over his shoulder. “I have to try to get in there. If you have to shoot me, shoot me. I’m not turning back.”
    Bang.

CHAPTER FIVE
     

Westing Biogenetic Institute - Chicago, Illinois
     
     
     
    A chunk of the floor chipped off and fell into the hole. Seconds passed. Splash.
    “Okay, try it now, Marcus,” Reggie said, as she scooted out of the way.
    Marcus grabbed the flashlight and poked his head into the hole. “Grab my legs.”
    “All right. But don’t count on me holding your weight for long.” Reggie secured his ankles.
    Marcus inhaled and moved an arm into the hole. “I fit.” He shined the flashlight down.
    “What do you see? You must see something!” He came out. “What?”
    Marcus smiled. “Steps. I see steps. We have to hang, then drop, but they’re there.”
    “I’ll get our stuff.” Reggie scrambled to her feet and raced into the storage room. She tossed her purse into the partly open duffel bag, grabbed it and the briefcase, and hurried back to the stairwell.
    “I’ll go down first, okay?” Marcus handed her the flashlight. “Wish me luck.”
    “Luck.” Reggie grinned.
    Marcus extended his legs into the hole and inched down on his belly, trying to grip the floor. He looked over his shoulder and down. “I need light.”
    Reggie slipped her hand into the hole and shined the light.
    Marcus took a breath and let go. He landed and stumbled down three stairs, damp from the ruptured pipe above.
    “You okay?” Reggie asked.
    “Yeah. Toss me our things! Whenever you’re...” He tried to catch the flying duffel bag, and missed. Before he could ask, the briefcase flew down also, and he grabbed it. “Now you. Climb out like I did...”
    A few seconds later, Marcus saw Reggie’s dangling legs. He reached up and guided her down. “Good job.” Marcus handed her the briefcase and tossed the duffel over his shoulder. “Let’s get a move-on.” He grabbed the flashlight.
    “Why?” Reggie asked. “We’re out of here and... hey!” Reggie looked to her left as soon as she hit the bottom step. “Where’s the door?”
    “Not there.” Marcus tugged her in the opposite direction. Their feet splashed on the wet ground. “The hallway that leads to the garage is right... here.”
    “Shit.” The door was blocked with chunks of concrete and wood.
    “No, not bad,” said Marcus. He grabbed the briefcase from her and set it and the duffel on the ground.
    “Marcus, we’re trapped again.”
    “Reg, please.” His tone shushed her. “We dug a hole. We broke through a concrete floor. This is nothing. A little debris. We can do this. The door’s right there.”
    Reggie smiled. “Our way out.”
     

Memorial Hospital, Toledo, Ohio
     
    A new wave of nausea surged through Kyle’s knotted up stomach. A god-like baritone voice caused him to think he was dead. But then he recalled his ride to the hospital and his subsequent bitching. The complaining didn’t last long, terminated by another voice saying, “Put him under now.”
    Lights out. Anesthesia, Kyle thought. He never handled that well.
    Sometime later, Kyle struggled to open his eyes to a familiar voice. One blurry eye, then another. George Leon came into focus. “George?”
    “Morning, Kyle.”
    “What... what are you doing here?” Kyle tried to sit up. His stomach flopped.
    “They called us. Eliza sent me.
