On the roof-
Dr. Saunders ate some more of her soup.
In the science lab-
Declan completed his first pipe bomb. It wouldn't do a tremendous amount of damage, but it would spread nails and shrapnel over a wide area. He had enough components to build more, if he wished to spend the time.
In the security office-
Kyle waited for his guard to return.
In the cafeteria-
"Oh, the beings that called the exterminators aren't going anywhere," said Stephanie. "We still have to worry about them. But I'm hoping the exterminators themselves were fooled. After all, what exterminator is going to suspect that the vermin it came to wipe out can call it on the phone and tell it the job is done? Of course, we still have a lot of trouble left, and we have to make sure that the exterminators don't get called back. Humanity is an endangered species now, and we're going to have to get used to it."
Liz nodded solemnly. "We have to learn how to think like cockroaches now," she said. "The only way for the species to survive is to mimic nature's ultimate survivors."
"Please, you're both jumping to conclusions," interjected Dr. Edward Singh, speaking at last. "This is sheer speculation!"
Tariq rose. "There is still a little gumbo left in the pot," he said to Rachel. "I will get some for you. The main course should be ready in about five to ten minutes." He went into the kitchen.
In the kitchen-
Tariq entered and found Amelia working. "Rachel Cohen has returned and desires some gumbo," he said.
"Comin' right up," said Amelia. She filled a bowl, placed a spoon in it, and handed it to Tariq before returning her attention to her cooking.
Southeast of the school-
Tiny began pacing, walking in a circle around Emilio and winding the leash around his legs.
On the balcony-
When Donald tried to pull the hammer back, it slipped from his grip and sailed over the balcony railing, landing in the lobby below with a clunk.
"I could climb down there and throw it back up," suggested Kelly.
In the lobby-
Megan stopped and instinctively crouched low when the hammer fell from above, narrowly missing her. "Hey, careful there!" she called up to the balcony. She picked up the hammer and tossed it back upwards, but it didn't get anywhere near high enough and crashed back to the floor with a clatter.
In the southeast hall, upper floor-
Ron followed Emily and the others down the hall. Emily threw open the door to the east stairwell and breezed inside, followed by Kate, Miguel, and LaTanya.
