::HARD—29

▵dirt / << >>

My desk phone buzzes. The caller ID is “RECEPT”.

“Hi.”

“There’s someone here to visit you.”

“Ok. Who is it.”

A woman’s voice. “Matt. It’s Zombie.”

I’m staring at the corner of my cubicle.

“It’s Elizabeth.”

“Hi.” I lean forward. “Hi. What are you—are you here?”

“We came to see you and Ashley but she’s not picking up her phone.”

“Yeah..she’s pretending to work. You want me to go bring her out to you? What door are you at?”

“We’re in building..one.”

“Walk down to building five. I’ll get her. Just—I’ll meet you at the reception desk, you can’t get in here without a keycard.”

“Thanks.”
