Jake knew that the Smithsonian’s Behring Center should have the information he sought. They had an American Transportation Exhibition right before the event happened. He had family visiting from California and he had taken them to see it. One of the things he remembered seeing was a large locomotive a, Class Ps-4 type steam locomotive of the Southern Railway. At the time he questioned one of the curators about how functional the train was. He was assured that the locomotive was fully functional and well taken care of. He didn’t know if it was still there and almost a year later how functional it still was. Jake arrived at Behring Center at 7am the following morning after meeting with the President; he reasoned that the center no longer …show more content…
He looked through the glass doors but was unable to see if there was anyone around. He knocked hard on the door, still nothing; he banged on the door, not one showed up. Wait! He thought he saw movement, yes definitely he saw movement. There was an older gentleman in security guard uniform making his way to the door, albeit slowly. Jake watched the elderly guard make his way to the door, it was agonizing to watch this, but Jake realized he had no other place to …show more content…
Jake looked at his key ring, he must have had a hundred or so keys, he wondered how the guard would know which is the correct one, but he did. The door was open within two minutes and the guard waived them all in. “I’m Chester Krist, I’m the senior guard here.” “It’s nice to meet you Chester.” said Jake extending his hand to shake it. Both men shook hands. “Are you the only guard here?” “Naw, there’s three others but they’re down stairs sleeping. We don’t get many folks here anymore. In fact you’re the first one in months. “ “How are you getting by?” asked Jake. “There’s a stocked cafeteria and food store here, there’s only four of us and we don’t eat or drink much. We’ve also been able to get out and grab some water from other places and boil it. We get ‘in by.” “That’s great Chester.” said Jake. “Can you give us a tour of the museum?” Chester’s eyes lit up, it’s been a while since anyone had asked him about the museum, he loved it and once of the reasons he and his fellow guards stayed after the lights when out. They felt and obligation, no duty, to stay and guard the museum, it’s what they loved. “Yeah, sure would love to give y’all a tour! Anything particular you’re look ‘in for?” “Yes Chester there is actually, I’m looking for trains, big trains that run and we can

Harrison sped up to the pace that the rest of them were walking at. Jake then asked Red Riding Hood
“Hmm” Jack hummed. Kady walked up to the door and twisted the doorknob and the door opened with a quiet creek. Jack looked over at Kady with a questioned expression. Kady just shrugged and walked in. There was no lights making it hard to navigate around the house. Jack followed behind taking out his phone and turned on his flashlight. Jack being taller lit up the path for Kady who was in front of Jack,
“Help, we have no food and we need water!” screamed people. “Take us out from here!”
“Open up!” Father opened the door, in the hall we saw three guards all armed with
“I’d know the crew would appreciate walking on solid ground once again. We will stay in an inn for the time being.”
As we reach the museum, the exterior was very beautiful. The first things I saw were the bronze statues in the front. We took a couple of pictures in front of them and in front of the Norton Simon. The entrance where the glass doors had sat was very unique and elegant. The glass walls that the glass doors were attached to, added to the elegance and beauty. When I had first walked in, I was very shy, timid, and unwilling to go on, this was due to the more mature audience that I had seen when I had first entered the museum. I was still unsure on how to act in a museum, being this my first time, so I was very calm, cool and reserved, but as time went on I saw college students my age probably doing the same thing I was doing. So I then I felt more at ease. Plus my girlfriend was with me so I was not alone.
“Yes, come in.” Grainville said opening the door wide in invitation. “We don’t get many visitors around here,” he commented.
WHEN THE DOORBELL rings at three in the morning, it's never good news. Alex Rider was woken by the first chime. His eyes flickered open, but for a moment he stayed completely still in his bed, lying on his back with his head resting on the pillow. He heard a bedroom door open and a creak of wood as somebody went downstairs. The bell rang a second time, and he looked at the alarm clock glowing beside him. There was a rattle as someone slid the security chain off the front door.
"Eastmarch, eh?" She echoed with a laugh. "I'm flattered that you would come all this way just for me. I guess the Jarl did find out about the other crimes." She mocked, trying to buy herself some more time. She knew she couldn't fight him here, it was surrounded by guards.
"Hey, look i just found it. It was sitting right next to the pile of jackets the whole time!" the security man shouted to the
“The room was silent. His heart pounded the way it had on their first night together, the way it still did when he woke at a noise in the darkness and waited to hear it again - the sound of someone moving through the house, a stranger.”(4)
"Sure. I'm walking. It's just a couple of blocks down in the Kohler building." Her voice was firm but also curious.
“Ok I’m gonna see if I can get together with a few people. I’m gonna call Presley, Kathleen, Levi, Blake, and Tristan and tell each of them to bring a couple friends. We can party at my place.”
