Chapter 6

**Out There**

“Who made you the big boss over everyone here?”  Sansia demanded as Raydon dropped her into a chair in the science lab.

“Maybe I was always the big boss,” Raydon suggested.

“You are so…so…so…”

“I’d like to wait until you figure that out but we have business to look after here,” Raydon cut in and Sansia ground her teeth together angrily.

“What should we do boss?”  Robert asked.  “There are only seven of us.”

“That’s a pack,” Raydon said.

“A pack of what?”  Sansia demanded.

“People of course.  There’s safety in numbers,” Raydon responded.

“A pack of people?”  Sansia screamed but Raydon ignored her.

“We need more numbers than this,” Robert suggested.  “What if that creature gets inside or the wolf on the inside gets down here?”

“Right now we need to be planning, not worrying,” Raydon said.

“I plan to go look for my friend,” Sansia said snatching her bag from the table and heading towards the door.

Raydon ignored her again.  He was so insufferable, Sansia thought to herself, he knew she couldn’t just walk out the front door, she needed a ride in the helicopter he said he had access to.

“I’m Raydon Payne, I’m Vice President of Sales and Marketing here.  Some of you were visitors to the building, perhaps the first thing we should do is an inventory of the skills we have here.”

“I’m Robert – security guard.  I know every inch of this place backward and forward.”

“That’s good, might come in handy,” Raydon said.

“Teresa Taitt,” Ms. Taitt glanced about hesitantly.  “I’m Mr. Payne’s secretary.  Don’t quite know what I can do to help in this situation.  I just stayed because I figured wherever Mr. Payne was would be the safest place for me.”

“Thank you Teresa,” Raydon said and the middle aged woman blushed.  Sansia squirmed, not even older women were impervious to his charms.

“I’m Annemarie, I’m like Teresa just too scared to go outside.  I’m the receptionist here.”

“Dave Gill, I came here about a job in the security department.  I’m good with ‘I.T.’, I was hoping to get a job here.  Man I picked a lousy day to come out for an interview.”

“A tech guy, you can be pretty handy too,” Raydon said.

“Thanks,” Dave hesitated.  “Maybe after all this crap is over you’ll put in a word for me with HR so I can land this job?”

“You’re worried about a job?”  Annemarie demanded.

“Things have been really r…”  Dave started to explain but Raydon cut in.

“If we make it out of this mess in one piece you can be sure I’ll put in a good word for you.  Now who’s next?”

“I’m George Griffith, I’m a science assistant.”

“Great, if we don’t get some information from the authorities we might need to start figuring out something about what’s happening on our own.  We’ll need all the scientists we can get for that,” Raydon said.
