     "I promise," Beth nodded, and I   
also knew she meant it. “We figure the 
Spring sometime, maybe the first       
weekend. Right, hon?”                  
     “Sounds like a plan to me,” I     
said, almost dragging Beth through the 
door with me. "We'd love to stay and   
chat, but I’ve got a cab waiting       
outside..."                            
     "Oh absolutely, just make sure you
let me know when you set the actual    
date."                                 
     "We will, and like Beth says,     
you're at the top of the list, and oh, 
while we're here, I'm gonna give her a 
quick tour. She's never been inside    
before."                               
     "Just make sure she's wearing one 
of those pink contamination suits."    
     "Gotcha," I said, and the door    
clicked shut behind us, sounding like a
bolt of thunder.                       
     That stopped me for a second, but 
I took a deep breath and hurried on    
with Beth right by my side.            
     We took a right at the end of the 
hallway, and that led us to some       
stairs. They went down one floor, and  
at the bottom, were a couple doors. I  
used my badge, and then we were inside.
     We went down a couple more steps, 
and around one more corner, before I   
announced, "This is it. This is where I
work."                                 
     I pointed to the two offices on   
our right. “That’s where our two Super-
visors hang out,” I explained, and as  
we continued down the hall, “and that’s
where the rest of us hang out,” I said 
and pointed to the break room on our   
left.                                  
     "Looks boring," she said as we    
passed the long window where you could 
see inside.                            
     "I know, but the computers are    
fun," I said, pointing to the ones     
lined up against the wall, and then to 
the double doors at the end of the     
hall. "That's where the locker rooms   
are, and beyond that is the Vivarium." 
     "I always thought that name       
sounded like a drug," Beth giggled,    
"like someone mixed a Vicodin, and a   
Valium together and added a little     
Varoom to turn it into a Vivarium."    
     "Ok, I have to admit, that's      
funny," I said, and we snickered.      
     After a couple seconds of that,   
Beth grabbed my arm.                   
     "Come on, let's go."
