Chapter 19: The Door
The lab door did not so much open as leave its frame.
Dot had swapped the strike plate for a soft one that afternoon, and she had called it a courtesy.
Through my little window I saw Jericho come through it at a dead run, in his leather jacket, with a crowbar in one fist and nothing at all in his face.
Cameron spun around with my notebook under his arm.
"What the hell..."
Jericho did not look at him.
He went past Cameron, and hit the freezer door with his shoulder.
The bolt sprang off its rubber wedge on the first blow.
The door swung open, and the cold poured out around his boots in a long white sheet.
He dropped the crowbar.
It rang on the floor, and he caught me in both arms before my feet could touch it.
"Eleven forty-seven," I said into his collar.
"I know." His voice came apart. "I know. I counted every one."
He was shaking, and so was I, and it was not from cold.
Then the lights came on.
They came on all at once, white and enormous, and the whole of Lab 4 jumped into focus.
