Chapter 23: The New Wing
The new wing of the Marwick Lab had been sitting empty at the end of the science building for eleven months.
The university had built it, hung a ribbon on the door, and then never filled it, because the money had stopped.
On Monday morning, the ribbon was still there.
Pippa stood under it in her best lab coat with a pair of oversized scissors, and every one of her grad students stood behind her.
"You're late," she said.
"It's three minutes to nine."
"You're late by my clock."
"Where's the surprise?"
"Behind the door." Pippa grinned. "Come on."
She put the scissors in my hand.
"Pip, you cut it. It's your lab."
"It's our lab."
"It's yours," I said. "I'll hold the ribbon."
She stared at me.
Then she took the scissors back, and her chin wobbled once.
"Okay," she said.
I held one end of the red ribbon, and a grad student held the other.
