As Jack approached the site of his new research institute, he admired the new building. His new building. It had fifty floors above ground and, officially, twenty floors below ground.
The parking lot was mostly occupied by construction equipment, but a small section in front of the main entrance had been cleared.
Officially, Genesis had hired Jack, Madison, Samantha, Katie, and Naoko as interns. This way, they could come and go from the building without drawing suspicion.
He parked his Land Cruiser and headed for the main entrance. The upper floors were still under construction, so there was a sturdy covered walkway that ran from the parking lot to the entrance.
Entering the lobby, he waved at the receptionist and headed towards a bank of elevators on the left.
Once in the elevator, he slid a keycard into a slot below the bank of buttons, then pressed B20.
As the elevator doors closed, he caught sight of the receptionist gazing at him hopefully.
