Miles face had no expression as he observed the woman while she spoke. She was nervous about something, he knew that much, but what and why? She avoided his gaze and she was in a hurry. Not just in a hurry to get somewhere else but in a hurry to get away.
He watched her walk away and that was all he remembered...
It was all he remembered after the explosion, the corridor falling down around him, pieces of building knocking him to the floor and knocking him out completely...
Miles had laid under the pile of mashed building parts, unconscious, for at least ten minutes or so before his eyes slowly yet dazedly opened.
Yeah..everything is just fine Mr. V, not to worry..
He moaned and groaned as he slowly began to move the scattered debris of corridor off and away from him, slowly rising to his feet after he had finished.
He took a few moments to assay the scene around him. The area he was in seemed pretty much demolished, his office, was still intact.
He deduced that most of the employees had pretty much left the building to make their way to safety. As for Miles, he had other things to do, like detective work...
He quickly made his way to the emergency stairs.
He whistled at the condition he found to be for the first floor.
Well, could have been worse. Looks like I need to pay a little visit to the security room on the third floor...
It took Miles a little more time than usual to get to the third floor and into the security room, more time wasted, time he needed.
Miles quickly took a second or two to observe the security room, the cameras seemed to be still intact. Miles began to scan each one carefully. There were lots of cameras throughout the entire building but only ten camera views could be seen in the security room. That was all that was need really, everything could be pretty much viewed from those ten cameras, the entrance into Vinda Corp, HQ, the corridors, Mr. Vinda's office...
Well I'll be...what do we have here?? Look at that!
There she was, the woman that Miles had seen just before the explosion had commenced. She was in Mr. Vinda's office, shuffling through papers, among other things.
Miles removed his comm from within his coat pocket, placing a communication on the secret frequency. Mr. Vinda had given the frequency to Miles along time ago, incase such a situation like this should happen to arise, Miles didn't think that he would have ever needed it, he had been wrong.
"I'm afraid we have ourselves a situation...Mr Vinda's office, I want someone in there now! Pronto!"
Security: "Will do, Mr Johnson..."
"Proceed with caution, she could be armed..."
Security:"She sir?.."
"Yes! Never mind that, please! Get someone in there now!"
Security:"Yes Sir! We have a few people on that level now, sir, they should be in there any minute now..."
"Thank You, bring her to me when you catch her. Bring everything she has in her possession along too, I have something I'd like to discuss with her.."
Security:"Yes sir, over and out."
"Over and out.."
He placed the comm back into his coat pocket...Two minutes or so later, Miles watched as three security men entered Mr. Vinda's office, the woman still searching through Mr. Vinda's office. He watched as she looked up and straight into the camera inside the room.
"It doesn't pay to be so nervous, it causes suspicion," Miles said to himself as he looked back into the view screen
