The
places that I clean include Laboratory 33.
Laboratory 33 contains an experimental machine that will enable me to
cure my problems. What goes on in
Laboratory 33 is very secret, but what scientist worries about being overheard
by a brain damaged, crippled janitor?
Tonight,
I’ll use the machine and cure me, or I’ll die, or maybe both.
I
have managed to obtain an old, heavy handgun and fairly recent ammunition, from
the basement of the museum that the university runs. The security screens would have detected the
heavy metal handgun, but I’m able to use a disabled access entrance that
doesn’t use the security screens.
I
have dressed myself in a miserable charity sale suit. The suit is several sizes too large and hangs
on me like a sack. However, it was cheap
and all that I could afford on my miserable janitor’s pay. I’ll likely need to wear a larger suit, after
I do what I have planned.
I
hobble through my cleaning route, pushing the barrel that I use to dump the
contents of wastebaskets or ashtrays into.
The guards see me, but they pay no real attention to the brain damaged
cripple. It seems to take forever, but I
finally hobble down the hallway to Laboratory 33. I use my janitor key and enter the room. I then place a note on the control console
and tape another note to the roof of the transport chamber. I power on the machine, set in the parameters
that I need, hobble over and manage to place myself in the transport chamber,
the machine activates and suddenly, I find myself in what we kids always called
the small park, back when. I’m in a dark
corner of the little park and no one seems to notice my arrival.
I
hobble down to Delphon Street and then along the
street, dark because of budget cuts that have eliminated two of every three
street lights. No matter, I have enough
light for what I need to do.
