Where's that door that Grant was going to use to get me out? she wondered. Then she saw a door marked exit next to Van de Vliet's office.
Shit, it's all the way at the opposite end of the hall.
"Stone, we have to get to that door before anybody sees us. I don't know if it's alarmed or not, but that's the ball game." She reached for his hand. "If we can get there and get out, please come with me. We can make it to the highway. You can't stay here."
"Let's get you out. Then we'll talk."
"I'll drag you if I have to."
As they moved quietly along the wall, they could hear an argument under way. She recognized the voices as Ellen 'Hara's and Karl Van de Vliet's.
"I won't allow my staff to be part of this," Ellen was declaring. "I've seen Kristen. Any form of the Beta is dangerous. If you do anything involving that procedure again, you'll put everybody here at risk."
"Don't you think I've thought about that, agonized about it? We have one chance to turn all this around. This is it."
"I don't want to be involved and I don't want any of my people involved do you hear me?"
"Then keep them upstairs." He was striding out of his office, flipping on the lights in the hallway.
