It took all of Ed Tate’s will power to knock on Attwood’s door instead of slamming it in. Attwood glanced through the window and waved him in before returning his attention to whatever was on his computer monitor. “So what’s so important that you had to drag me back here?”Ed demanded as he closed the door behind him. Attwood smiled briefly,”Would the fate of mankind be big enough on your priority level?” Tate bristled at his boss’s comment,”I thought Sloan and I ment more to you then the monkeys we run tests on?! Or is that just another one of your smoke and mirror rountines?!” Attwood glared at the younger man,”I’ve bent over backwards to bail the two of you out of trouble more times than I can count! I know you’re worried about Sloan,so am I,whether you want to believe that or not. But the best thing we can do for her right now is reconstruct the data on the pillar. We need to know what they’re planning.” Tom parked about two blocks from the university’s lab struggling to keep his emotions in check. If Lewis even had the slightest hint that he wasn’t following orders, Tate would be dead in an instant. If what Attwood’s boss said was true, he owed Sloan to keep Tate safe. Even if it ment sacrificing his own life.
After taking a few minutes to study the guard’s rotation, Tom easily
bypassed the lab’s security and walked into Tate’s office.
