Anne Walker knew this was the day. It was a perfect day, and nothing could go wrong at this point. Everything had gone wrong after the Eraser incident at the school in D.C., and it only got worse when Max and the flock escaped. But she would find them. Today's the day.
A cool breeze swept her hair out of her face as she climbed the steps to the school and opened the large double doors. School was out now because of Christmas break, leaving her a perfect opportunity to come and go without notice. Today's the day.
William Pruitt met Anne at the door and wordlessly led her down the long, dark halls of the school, taking the quickest route to the basement. When they reached the bottom of the basement stairs, the headmaster spoke. "Do you have the files?"
Anne nodded and flicked a switch that flooded light through the basement.
"You realize how much of a mess those brats caused?" Pruitt's face lit up like a fire, and Anne laughed a bit. "It's not funny! I had to spend too much of the School's money just to eliminate the ones who saw! Especially that Lazzara fellow. He was going to tell the cops, but I took care of him personally." Pruitt smiled a bit at the thought of the work he had done.
"Whatever," Anne said, completely ignoring the headmaster. "Let's just get this over with. It's freaking December and it's way to cold to be prowling around here without a heater."
Still red-in-the-face, Pruitt led Anne towards the back of the documents room and down the last tunnel. Where it led, only a few select people in the world knew. Today's the day!
