The text came at 2:17 AM. From my partner’s number. He’d been dead six months.
I’ve been raising my grandson alone since the funeral. Most days it’s just me and Darius, six years old and convinced his dad is coming back through the front door.
Three words on the screen: CHECK THE GARAGE.
I’m Officer Mara Larkin. Forty-three. Airport PD, midnight shift, knees that predict weather better than the radar. My husband Thomas was the one who believed in signs. I believed in evidence.
The garage smelled like motor oil and the pine air freshener he’d hung from the rafters in 2019. Still there. Still fake pine.
Darius was asleep on the couch, one hand curled around the plastic badge Thomas gave him. “Chief,” he’d whispered. “You’re the chief now, Nana.”
I pulled the cord. The bare bulb flickered on.
Thomas’s toolbox sat on the workbench where he left it. Top drawer slightly open. A folded piece of notebook paper tucked under the socket set.
My handwriting. Not his.
If you’re reading this, I didn’t make it out. The Cabrera syndicate uses Denver as a hub. Cargo hold 4B. Flight 1842 lands 3:15 AM every Tuesday. Blue ribbon on the handle. Don’t call it in. They own the badge that answers.
The paper was dated three days before he died.
The official report said cardiac event. Natural causes. Thomas’s heart was fine. He ran five miles every morning until the Tuesday he didn’t come home.
My radio crackled. “Unit 14, suspicious package, carousel seven. Blue ribbon on handle. Dispatch says – “
I froze.
“Unit 14, copy?”
Darius stirred on the couch upstairs. “Nana? You okay?”
The garage door opener hummed in the wall. Someone else’s remote. Someone outside.
“STAY INSIDE,” I texted my lieutenant. “DO NOT APPROACH CAROUSEL SEVEN. CABRERA SYNDICATE. THOMAS WAS MURDERED.”
I grabbed my service weapon. Checked the chamber. Chambered a round.
The garage side door handle turned.
Slow.
Deliberate.
“Officer Larkin,” a voice said through the gap. “We have your grandson. Open the door and we make this quick. Don’t, and we start sending pieces.”
My phone buzzed again.
A photo. Darius asleep on the couch.
Taken from inside my living room.
Then the door exploded inward.
The Man Behind the Door
The first thing through was a boot.
The second was a shoulder.
I fired at the floor beside the doorway, not the man. The shot punched through the concrete and filled the garage with a white crack that swallowed every other sound.
He stumbled back.
I crossed the room, caught the edge of the workbench, and dropped behind Thomas’s old snowblower. My ears rang. The bare bulb swung above me, making the walls jump back and forth.
“Move!” a man yelled.
Another shot tore through the pegboard.
I saw the first man’s hand before I saw his face. Black glove. Silver ring. A square stone set into it.
Thomas had drawn that ring in the margin of a grocery receipt.
I still had the receipt.
It was in the kitchen junk drawer with three dead batteries and a coupon for carpet cleaning.
The man pushed into the garage. Mid-thirties. Gray hoodie under a tactical vest. A cut across his cheek. He held his pistol low, like someone who had been trained not to wave it around.
I fired once.
The bullet caught him high in the arm. He slammed into the doorframe and cursed. Not a movie curse. A wet, shocked sound.
The second man stayed outside.
“She’s got a gun.”
“Get the kid.”
I ran.
Not toward the house. Toward the interior door at the back of the garage, the one leading into the laundry room. Thomas had installed it after Darius came to live with us. He said the garage was too easy to enter.
I kicked the door open and found the laundry room empty.
The back hallway was dark. Darius was still on the couch, but the blanket was gone.
I nearly called his name.
Then I saw the little plastic badge on the carpet.
The couch cushion lifted three inches.
“Don’t make a sound,” I whispered.
Darius’s eyes stared through the gap. Wide, wet, awake.
I held one finger against my lips and pointed toward the pantry.
He shook his head.
A floorboard clicked near the front door.
I moved low, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him out from under the couch. He was warm and heavy with sleep. His fingers locked around mine.
We reached the pantry just as the man in the gray hoodie entered the living room.
His wounded arm hung against his chest. Blood marked the white wall where he steadied himself.
“Officer Larkin,” he called. “You know what happens next.”
Darius pressed his face into my shirt.
I could smell the powdered detergent from his pajamas.
The pantry door had a glass panel. Bad design. Thomas had complained about it for years and never replaced it. Through the glass, I saw the second man come in from the garage.
He wasn’t wearing a mask.
I knew him.
A Name I Had Stopped Saying
“Ray,” I said.
Sergeant Raymond Pike looked at me through the kitchen.
He had worked airport patrol for nineteen years. He kept peppermints in his vest pocket and called every new officer “kid” until they quit or made detective. He’d stood behind me at Thomas’s funeral, one hand on my shoulder while I watched the casket go into the ground.
He gave me a tired smile.
“Don’t make this uglier.”
Darius made a small sound.
Pike’s eyes moved to the pantry.
I shoved the door open and fired through the glass.
He ducked. The bullet struck the refrigerator and sent a magnet spinning onto the floor.
The wounded man rushed the pantry. I grabbed a can of tomato sauce and threw it. It hit his mouth. He went down on one knee.
I dragged Darius through the back door.
The yard was black except for the motion light over the deck. Rain had started, thin and cold. We ran barefoot across the grass. Darius’s left shoe was missing.
“Where are we going?” he cried.
“To the shed.”
The shed was twelve feet from the fence. Thomas had built it from scrap wood and painted it the color of mustard, a shade he insisted was “practical.” Inside were rakes, fertilizer, a broken lawn chair, and the old storm cellar access beneath a square of plywood.
I pushed Darius down first.
The ladder hurt my knees. I landed in mud, pulled him against me, and lowered the plywood over our heads.
Above us, the back door slammed.
Pike shouted, “Mara!”
Darius clamped both hands over his mouth.
Boots crossed the yard.
The storm cellar smelled like dirt and rust. Water dripped from a pipe beside my shoulder. I could hear Darius breathing too fast, so I put his hand on the metal buckle of my duty belt.
“Count the clicks,” I whispered.
“What?”
“Every drip.”
He listened.
One.
Two.
Three.
The boots stopped directly over us.
Pike said, “She’ll call somebody. We have maybe five minutes.”
The other man answered, “Then take the kid and leave her.”
“That’s not what we were paid for.”
“Nobody paid you to have feelings.”
Pike kicked the shed wall.
Darius’s fingers tightened around the buckle.
I had eight rounds in my magazine. My spare was in the kitchen, because I had been tired and stupid. My phone was still in my hand. The screen showed the photo of Darius sleeping.
I zoomed in.
The picture had been taken from the living room, near the bookcase. Behind Darius’s head, on the wall, was Thomas’s framed marathon bib.
The glass reflected a thin strip of the room.
A person holding the phone.
Not Pike.
Not the man in the gray hoodie.
A woman.
Blond hair. Red sweatshirt.
I knew her, too.
“Betty,” I mouthed.
Darius looked at me.
I pointed to my phone and typed with one thumb.
A friend is in the house.
His eyes filled again.
The boots moved away. A door opened above us. Then slammed.
I lifted the plywood a finger’s width.
The yard was empty.
“Come on.”
We crawled out and ran to the neighbor’s house. Mrs. Hendricks was eighty-one, slept with a loaded revolver in her nightstand, and hated my dog when I still had one. She opened the door on the first knock.
I pushed Darius inside.
“Call 911,” I said.
She looked at the blood on my sleeve. “Whose?”
“Not mine.”
That was when the sirens started.
Cargo Hold 4B
Lieutenant Sam Bell answered from a blocked number before the emergency dispatcher picked up.
His voice came through Mrs. Hendricks’s landline, rough with sleep.
“Where are you?”
“Not my house. Pike and another male broke in. They have access to my grandson’s location.”
“Is Darius hurt?”
“No.”
“Then listen carefully. Do not call airport dispatch.”
“I already texted you.”
“I saw it.”
“Did you send anyone to carousel seven?”
“No.”
“Good.”
There was a pause. I heard a door close on his end.
“Bell,” I said. “What do you know?”
“Thomas came to me four days before he died.”
I looked at Darius. He was sitting in Mrs. Hendricks’s recliner with a quilt around his shoulders, holding the plastic badge.
“What did he say?”
“That cargo handlers were moving people through the airport. Not drugs. People.”
Mrs. Hendricks crossed herself.
Bell kept talking. “Runaways. Undocumented workers. Kids from shelters. Anyone who could disappear without a clean trail. They put them in refrigerated freight containers, then move them out through private hangars.”
The room got smaller.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because Thomas wouldn’t let me.”
“That isn’t an answer.”
“No. It isn’t.”
He gave me an address: a service road behind a closed rental-car lot. He said a county deputy named Alonzo Redd would meet us there.
I took Mrs. Hendricks’s revolver because she told me to. It was a Smith & Wesson Model 10 with pearl grips, too heavy for my belt and too old to be comforting.
Darius wouldn’t let go of my hand.
At 2:51 AM, we left through the back door.
The airport rose beyond the highway in red lights and wet pavement. Planes came down through the clouds with their landing lights on. Each one looked close enough to touch.
Redd met us beside a county van. He was a broad man with a gray mustache and a coffee stain on his collar.
“You brought the child?”
“He was in the house.”
“Then he stays in the van.”
“No.”
Redd looked at me. “Officer, if the people who killed your husband are inside that airport, they won’t care about your badge.”
“They already know where my living room is.”
He stared at Darius.
“Fine. But if I say get down, you get down.”
The cargo terminal sat on the far side of the passenger buildings. At that hour, the public areas were closed, but freight never slept. Trucks backed into bays under harsh white lights. Men in orange vests moved pallets behind chain-link fences.
Cargo hold 4B was not a plane compartment.
It was a warehouse bay marked with a blue metal sign.
Inside, a gray baggage cart waited near the loading doors. A strip of blue ribbon was tied to its handle.
Darius leaned against my side.
“That’s Daddy’s color,” he said.
Thomas had used blue ribbon on Christmas gifts because he hated tape.
Redd raised his binoculars.
A baggage handler opened a crate.
There was a child’s hand inside.
Redd swore.
I started toward the bay.
He caught my arm. “Wait.”
Another handler entered, carrying a clipboard. He had the same silver ring with the square stone.
Ray Pike had drawn it on the grocery receipt.
The name on the clipboard was M. Larkin.
Not Mara.
The man’s pen moved across the page. Under the name was a date of birth: 06/14/1981.
Mine.
For a second, I couldn’t make the numbers mean anything.
Then I remembered the folder Thomas had kept in the bottom of his desk.
My birth certificate.
He had asked me for it two months before he died.
I thought he needed it for the mortgage refinance.
Redd took the clipboard photo through his binoculars. “That’s not a shipment manifest.”
“No.”
“It’s a death list.”
A truck rolled into the bay. The driver’s door opened.
Betty Shaw stepped down.
She had been Thomas’s sister. She had brought casseroles after the funeral and taken Darius for three weekends when I had to work. Her red sweatshirt was tucked under a black raincoat.
The woman in the photo.
What Thomas Put Under the Floor
We didn’t move until Betty and the handlers disappeared into the warehouse office.
Redd went around the fence. I stayed with Darius inside the van, watching the blue ribbon through the rain-streaked window.
At 3:08, my phone buzzed.
Another message from Thomas’s number.
YOU HAVE SEVEN MINUTES.
Then an address.
Not the airport.
Our house.
I called Bell.
He answered at once. “What happened?”
I read him the message.
“That’s not Thomas,” he said.
“I know.”
“No, Mara. Listen. Thomas’s phone was never recovered. The carrier shut the number off after the funeral. Whoever is sending those texts has access to his old device.”
“Who?”
“I don’t know yet.”
Redd returned with a cut on his forehead.
“The warehouse has three cameras. Someone is watching the van.”
Darius pointed behind me.
A black SUV sat across the service road. Engine running.
The passenger window lowered.
Pike’s face appeared.
He held up a phone.
The screen showed Darius’s plastic badge.
I reached for my weapon.
Pike shook his head and mouthed, “Don’t.”
The SUV pulled away.
Redd opened the van door. “We need to go.”
“No.”
“Your house is a trap.”
“Exactly.”
I called Betty.
She answered on the fourth ring.
“Mara?”
“Where are you?”
“I’ve been looking for you.”
“Did you send the photo?”
She went quiet.
Rain tapped the van roof.
“Betty.”
“I sent the first message,” she said. “Not the second.”
“Who has Thomas’s phone?”
“I don’t know.”
“Why is my name on a cargo list?”
Her voice cracked. “Because Thomas put it there.”
Darius looked at me.
I turned away from him.
“Tell me.”
“You were already in the system, Mara. All of us were. Thomas found your personnel file in a folder with the people they planned to erase.”
“Erase?”
“Kill. Make it look clean. Cardiac event, overdose, car accident. Pick one.”
My hand found the edge of the van seat.
“Why did Thomas write that note in my handwriting?”
“He didn’t.”
The call ended.
Redd watched me.
“I need to go home,” I said.
“That’s the worst idea you’ve had tonight.”
“Thomas hid something there.”
We drove back in silence.
The house had been searched. Drawers pulled out. Couch cushions cut open. The framed marathon bib lay shattered on the floor.
The pantry door hung crooked.
Darius stayed in the van with Redd while I entered through the back.
I went to Thomas’s office.
His desk stood against the wall. The bottom drawer was open, empty except for a dried-out pen and a paperclip shaped like a fish.
He had shown me that pen once.
“Watch this,” he’d said.
He pressed the barrel against the floorboard beneath the desk.
A panel lifted.
I had laughed at him for building a hiding place under his own desk. He’d said the best hiding places looked stupid.
The cavity was empty.
Except for a small digital recorder.
I pressed play.
Thomas’s voice filled the room.
“If Mara found the garage note, the first lock opened. If Betty got to her before Pike did, she still has a chance.”
I sat on the floor.
The recorder clicked.
“I need you to hear this from me. The heart medication was mine. I took two pills from the evidence room and put them in my coffee. The medical examiner will find enough to call it an accident.”
My fingers stopped moving.
“Why?” I whispered.
The recording continued.
“Because Pike has Darius marked for pickup. Betty found that out after the shelter fire. I couldn’t get him out through the airport without making the whole operation move. So I made myself look dead, left the note, and put the access key where Mara would find it after the right message.”
I turned the recorder over.
A strip of tape covered the back.
Thomas again.
“Mara, if you’re hearing this, don’t trust the messages. The first one is Betty. The rest are me, or someone using me. The phrase is the only thing they don’t know.”
There was a pause.
Then four words.
“Blue shoes. Red mailbox. Thursday.”
I wrote them on my palm.
Darius had blue shoes.
Our mailbox was red.
Thursday was tomorrow.
The Door Opens Again
Bell arrived at 3:26 with two officers I didn’t know.
That was the first problem.
The second was that one of them wore a silver ring with a square stone.
I shot him in the leg before he cleared the doorway.
The other officer ran.
Bell tackled him against the coat rack. They crashed into the wall, knocking down Darius’s school picture. Glass broke across the floor.
“Where’s Pike?” Bell shouted.
The officer said nothing.
I pointed my weapon at his face. “Where is my husband?”
He laughed.
Not loud. Just once.
“Your husband is dead.”
“That’s not what I asked.”
Bell zip-tied his hands.
Redd came through the back with Darius. He had a small cut on his cheek and the expression of a man who had just decided he was too old for this job.
“We found Pike’s SUV,” he said. “Abandoned by the service road.”
My phone buzzed.
Thomas’s number.
I didn’t look at the screen.
“Answer it,” Bell said.
I did.
No voice.
Only a recording of a child crying.
Darius covered his ears.
Then a man said, “Blue shoes. Red mailbox. Thursday.”
The call ended.
Bell took the phone from my hand. “They heard the recording.”
“They heard the phrase.”
“Which means they know where the key is.”
I looked at Darius’s shoes.
Blue canvas. Thomas had bought them in April, two weeks before the funeral. Darius had refused to wear them because the laces were too long.
The red mailbox stood outside our house, nailed to a post Thomas had sunk too deep into the ground. On Thursdays, the mail carrier came at 11:40.
The key was in the mailbox.
We reached it at 3:42.
There was no key.
There was a folded photograph instead.
Thomas stood in front of a motel sign, thinner than I remembered, beard covering half his face. A date was written on the back.
October 19. Room 12.
Six months after his funeral.
Bell stared at it.
“That was last week.”
A car engine started at the end of the street.
I ran.
The black SUV surged past the stop sign. I caught one glimpse through the rear window.
Betty was in the back seat.
Darius screamed, “Aunt Betty!”
The SUV turned toward the highway.
Redd fired at the tires. The shot missed. Mine did, too.
The car vanished behind the grocery store.
On the ground beside the mailbox, something blue lay in the wet grass.
A child’s shoelace.
Room 12
The motel sat forty minutes north, beyond the county line, under a broken sign that read PARKWAY REST. The office window was dark. A vending machine buzzed near the ice machine.
Room 12 had a paper notice taped across the lock.
The room smelled of old cigarettes and bleach.
There was a bed. A television. A chair facing the door.
On the chair sat Thomas’s watch.
I knew it because the leather strap had a burn mark near the buckle. He got it fixing a lawn mower and refused to replace the strap.
I picked it up.
The second hand was moving.
Thomas wore that watch at the funeral.
A floorboard creaked in the bathroom.
I raised my gun.
“Mara.”
The voice was hoarse. Older.
He stepped out wearing a dark jacket, a baseball cap, and six months of beard.
Thomas.
The gun slipped in my hand.
He stopped three feet away.
Darius ran past me.
Thomas caught him and dropped to his knees. Darius wrapped both arms around his neck so hard Thomas grunted.
“You came back,” Darius said into his shoulder.
Thomas shut his eyes.
Then he looked at me.
“I couldn’t.”
I hit him.
Once.
The sound went flat in the small room.
He accepted it. His head turned with the force.
“You let us bury you.”
“I know.”
“You let my grandson stand at the door every morning.”
“I know.”
“You sent me into that garage with a note.”
“I had to make you look.”
I hit him again, but my hand stopped before it reached his face.
He didn’t move.
“Thomas,” Bell said from behind me. “Start talking.”
Thomas lifted Darius and set him on the bed.
“Betty got him out of the first house. Pike caught her before she reached the airport. He took Darius because he knew Mara would follow.”
“Where is she?”
“Alive. For now.”
“Where?”
Thomas looked at his watch.
“Cargo hold 4B.”
I felt the old room tilt, but I stayed upright.
He reached inside his jacket and removed a plastic access card.
“Cabrera doesn’t run the operation,” he said. “They move the money. The person in charge is Captain Harlan Voss.”
Bell’s face changed.
“Airport police captain?”
Thomas nodded.
Voss had signed the report calling Thomas’s death natural.
Voss had approved my transfer to midnight shift after the funeral.
Voss had sent me the radio call about carousel seven.
Thomas took a folded document from his pocket.
“Here’s the other part.”
I opened it.
It was a copy of my original birth record.
The name under Father had been blacked out by hand.
Below it, in Thomas’s writing, were five words:
Mara is Harlan Voss’s daughter.
I read it twice.
Then a third time.
The room’s air conditioner clicked on. Somewhere outside, a truck reversed with three soft beeps.
“No,” I said.
Thomas sat on the bed beside Darius.
“Your mother worked baggage services. Voss was married. When she got pregnant, he paid her to leave Denver. She kept your name off everything. He found you years later when you joined the department.”
“And Thomas knew?”
“I found the file three days before I died.”
“You knew.”
“I was trying to get proof before I told you.”
“Proof of what? That my father is a murderer?”
Thomas looked down at Darius’s plastic badge.
“Proof that he ordered the people on that list killed.”
My phone buzzed again.
This time the screen showed a live video.
Betty sat tied to a chair in the cargo bay. Behind her, the blue ribbon hung from the handle of a gray container.
Captain Harlan Voss stood beside her in his uniform.
He looked straight into the camera.
“Bring the access card,” he said. “Bring the boy. Come alone.”
Thomas reached for his gun.
I caught his wrist.
“You’re not coming.”
“I am.”
“You’ve been dead for six months.”
“That doesn’t stop me from walking.”
Tuesday Never Ends
Cargo hold 4B was empty when we arrived.
No workers. No trucks. Every overhead light was on.
The gray container sat in the center of the bay with its door shut. Blue ribbon tied to the handle.
Voss stood on the catwalk above us.
Pike held Betty by the hair.
Darius clung to my coat.
Thomas stepped out beside me.
Voss stared at him.
For the first time that night, his face broke.
“Thomas.”
“Captain.”
Pike shoved Betty forward. She fell against the railing.
Voss looked at me. “You should have stayed home.”
“You killed him.”
“No. He killed himself.”
Thomas said, “You put two pills in my coffee.”
Voss smiled. “You took them.”
The cargo bay doors slammed shut.
Redd and Bell had gone around to the control room. I could hear metal striking metal above us, then a burst of static from Bell’s radio.
Voss drew his weapon.
“Give me the card.”
I held it up.
“Let Betty go.”
“Give me the card.”
Thomas moved one step toward the container.
Voss fired.
Thomas dropped.
Darius screamed.
I fired at Voss. He ducked behind the railing. Pike dragged Betty toward the stairs.
I ran to Thomas.
The shot had struck his vest. Blood spread beneath the fabric, but he was conscious.
“Stay down,” I said.
“Container,” he coughed.
The gray door shook.
Something inside hit it from the other side.
Once.
Twice.
I grabbed the blue ribbon and pulled.
The latch opened.
A girl fell out onto the concrete.
Fourteen, maybe. Her wrists were taped. Behind her were six others, crowded into the dark, their faces gray under the warehouse lights.
Darius stood frozen.
“Chief,” he whispered.
Thomas rolled toward the container and fired at Pike.
Pike jerked back. Betty crawled behind a pallet.
Bell burst through the control-room door above us with two airport officers behind him. One of them raised a rifle toward the container.
I shouted, “No!”
The rifle lowered.
Voss ran for the far stairs.
I chased him.
He reached the bottom and grabbed Darius.
My grandson kicked him in the shin. Hard.
Voss bent over.
I drove my shoulder into his chest and took him to the concrete. His gun skidded beneath the baggage cart.
He smelled like the cedar soap Thomas used to buy.
Voss stared up at me.
“You think this ends with me?”
“No.”
I cuffed his right wrist.
“There are names in those files. Judges. Officers. People who will bury it all.”
“Your husband has the files?”
I looked toward Thomas.
He was sitting against the container, one hand pressed to his vest, the other holding a small red memory card.
“No,” I said. “I do.”
The memory card had been hidden inside Thomas’s watch.
He had smashed the back open and tucked it beneath the battery.
The file held six months of recordings, payment ledgers, airport camera feeds, and a video of Voss entering the morgue before the coroner signed Thomas’s report.
It also held the first photo.
The one sent from inside my living room.
Betty hadn’t taken it.
Thomas had.
He had been hiding in the house that night, watching Darius sleep from behind the bookcase. He’d sent the photo to prove someone had broken in before the men came through the garage.
He hadn’t known Pike had followed him there.
He hadn’t known Voss had already found us.
But he had known one thing.
If the message reached me at 2:17 AM, I would check the garage.
Because 2:17 was the time he proposed to me, standing barefoot in our kitchen, holding a ring inside a coffee mug.
A sign.
Evidence.
Both, maybe.
Paramedics arrived at 4:06.
Thomas refused the first stretcher.
He kept asking about Darius.
Darius sat on the ambulance step, his plastic badge clipped to his pajama shirt. His missing shoe was still missing. His sock was black with mud.
When Thomas finally let the medics cut open his vest, he looked at me.
“You’re going to hate me for a while.”
“Longer than a while.”
He nodded.
“Fair.”
I took his watch from my pocket.
The second hand had stopped.
Not at 2:17.
At 3:15.
The time Flight 1842 was supposed to land.
Behind us, inside cargo hold 4B, the rescued children were wrapped in silver blankets. Betty sat with one of them, crying into her hands. Pike was face down beside the loading bay, cuffed by Bell.
Captain Voss kept asking for his lawyer.
Nobody answered him.
Darius climbed into the ambulance beside Thomas.
“Nana,” he said, “can Daddy come home now?”
Thomas looked at me.
I looked at the blood on his shirt, the fake pine smell still clinging to my coat, and the red mark where his wedding ring had been taken off six months ago.
“Not tonight,” I said.
Thomas reached for Darius’s plastic badge.
“Chiefs have to wait for the doctor.”
Darius considered this.
Then he handed Thomas the badge.
“Don’t lose it.”
Thomas closed his fingers around it.
Outside, the airport loudspeaker announced Flight 1842’s arrival.
The plane touched down at 3:15 AM.
No blue ribbon waited on the handle.
Only a strip of red tape, stuck to the glass of the control-room door.
Under it, someone had written two words in black marker:
NOT DONE.
I took the memory card from Thomas’s watch.
Then I walked toward the control room.
