VOLUME 6: ADAM

Prologue

Bang!

The sharp, cracking sound startled the intern in the lab. As she stepped away from her microscope, she eyed the open door leading to the hall. It wasn't unusual to hear explosions in this wing, as students experimented, sometimes with disastrous results.

Bang! Bang!

The echoing pops approached.

Should she take cover?

The expected alarm that would have signaled a lockdown never rang. Was the popping sound she heard the freshmen playing with firecrackers again? Every year there were some clowns who thought getting people to dive for cover was hilarious. Until they got suspended.

Yells, indistinct yet comprised of several voices, interspersed the occasional crack. The commotion drew nearer. Biting her lip, she peeked around for a spot to hide. If it were campus security chasing down pranksters, she'd feel foolish, but if it weren't. . .

Better safe than sorry.
