Less than an hour later, the security chief called back.

"Any chance you could talk to our security chief when we get back?"

A moment later the security chief's voice came over the line.

The security chief looked from one to the other of them.

A new security chief might not feel quite the same way.

And then the security chief made good on his word.

He saw now that the security chief had been right.

The whole building's on fire, he heard the security chief's voice in his mind.

He should have known she'd try something like this, the security chief told himself.

She would have to remember to ask the security chief about it later.
