Chapter 30: Someone Inside

"It never left the building," Micah said again, as if saying it twice would change the answer.

The major looked from him to me.

"Then your problem isn't in Arizona," she said.

"No."

"It's at home."

We were back in Pittsburgh by midnight.

The cold room sits at the back of the lab behind a heavy steel door, a windowless box kept at four degrees.

It holds the reagent stock and the finished cartridges, and a bench where one person at a time seals boxes with blue tape.

It has a badge reader on the door that logs every entry to the second.

I sat on a stool in my coat at seven the next morning and read eleven months of it.

Micah sat on the other stool and read it with me.

There was nothing.

No badge had gone in at three in the morning.

No one had entered on a weekend, or twice in an hour, or alone for four hours straight.

Every single person who went in belonged there.

"It's clean," Micah said, scrolling. "It's too clean. It looks like someone who knew we'd check."

"Or it looks like a building where nothing happened."
