Jeff shrugged. "More or less. I wanted to see the setup."

A dry smile crossed Schiml's face. "Particularly the setup in the

filing room," he said softly. "I thought I'd find you here. Blackie

said you'd just stepped out for a short walk, so we just took a guess."

The doctor's eyes hardened sharply on Jeff's face. "And all dressed up

like a doctor, too."

He stepped across the room, jerked the cap from Jeff's head, snapped

the string to the gown with a sharp swipe of his hand. "We don't do

this around here," he said, his voice cutting like a razor. "Doctors

wear these, nobody else. Got that straight? We also do not wander

around breaking into filing rooms, just looking at the setup. If the

guards had caught you at it, you wouldn't be alive right now--which

would have been a dirty shame, since we have plans for you." He jerked

his thumb toward the door. "After you, Jeff. We've got some work to do

tonight."

Jeff moved out into the hall, took up beside the tall doctor as he

started back for the escalator. "You weren't serious about testing me

tonight, surely."
