through here. Fortunately, they didn’t. She waited until they were a flight above her then quietly slipped back to the stairway and stealthily scrambled down them toward the second floor. Emily silently congratulated herself upon making it safely to her destination. She reached out with her mind for any presence before emerging in the hallway.
    She had only gotten halfway to her target when she sensed a staff member in one of the rooms getting ready to leave. She couldn’t determine the identity of the individual so she rushed past the door right before it opened. She was too far to reach a bend and duck out of sight so she slowed her pace to a brisk walk. Hopefully, if it was someone who had worked with her, they wouldn’t recognize her from behind. Emily’s stomach clenched with anxiety and cold shivers danced at the back of her neck. She carefully sensed the presence behind her who happened to be walking in the same direction that she did. She could tell that it was a male and he hadn’t recognized her but was paying a moderate amount of attention. The man wasn’t suspicious yet but wondering about her. Emily loosened her gait so she wouldn’t look tense. It was imperative that she give the appearance of being a fellow staff member.
    Emily reached one of the break rooms and entered it without hesitation as though she belonged here. Luckily, no one was inside. There were several, unscreened windows and one of them was her ticket to freedom. The break room door didn’t have a lock or she would have been tempted to engage it. Emily honed in on the mind of the staff member who’d been walking behind her. He was still approaching the door. She held her breath and her anxiety piqued. She couldn’t allow herself to be captured. She wondered who it was and if he’d immediately recognize her. The door opened and he joined her in the small room with an annoyed scowl on his face. He was in his late thirties and wore the typical security operative uniform.
    “Now is not the time to take a break,” the man said tersely. “You aren’t even in full uniform.”
    “This is my first day. Joe had to take care of some business and told me to meet him here. He was going to bring my name tag and stun gun with him,” Emily lied smoothly. She knew Joe was the name of one of the managers.
    “I didn’t realize Joe was awake yet,” he said with surprise.
    “He’ll be here any minute if you’d like to chat,” Emily said with a touch of sarcasm.
    “It was just a misunderstanding. Don’t get your panties in a bunch,” the staff member said defensively.
    He quickly retreated from the room and she immediately rushed over to the nearest window. She opened it and dropped down to the bushes. She strode to the parking lot and went directly to a blue Hyundai sedan that should be unlocked. She reached out and pulled on the handle. The door swung open and she breathed out a loud sigh of relief. Emily slipped behind the wheel and pulled a set of keys from underneath the passenger seat. It amazed her that some people didn’t lock their vehicle and actually left the keys conveniently ensconced where a thief could easily locate them. The parking lot wasn’t secure so Emily was able to drive away without any problem. It wasn’t until she’d reached the freeway that she allowed herself to feel a small measure of satisfaction over her escape.
    After several miles of random driving to put a safe distance between herself and the Psi-Tech facility, she pulled over and hunted for a map which she found tucked in a bunch of papers inside the glove compartment. Emily studied the map and quickly determined the fastest route to her brother’s house. She left the map open and placed it on the passenger seat so she could refer to it quickly if needed. Emily took the freeway and shortly afterward, sensed something strange. She reached out with her mind to detect the anomaly and realized that someone at Psi-Tech was using remote-viewing to track
