Tina shot Lorraine a smug look as Mario knocked on the towering mahogany obelisk. She’d been after Loraine’s spot on the Executive Security Team, and now it was practically her’s! Unless the cops downstairs did something stupid like try and occupy the building or invoke Emergency Powers. A Coup would ruin everything.
Mario opened the door and went in.
“I’m Sorry to disturb you, ladies and gentlemen, but there is a security situation, and we may have to ask you to evacuate.” Twelve smiling faces turned at once to look at them.
“We’re just about done here anyway,” Babbage said.

Loraine watched the boardroom from her monitor. Something funny was going on. It wasn’t her job as security guard to meddle, but Mr. Constantino hadn’t moved for a solid two minutes. She was sure the new CEO had done something to him. The board was in danger. She pinged the boardroom, but got no answer. She patched herself into the audio feed.
“King? I want nothing so small. Sizemore had so much access, so much control that he never utilized. Myself? I will be a god!” She had to get the board out. But the conference room door had vanished.
