“Hello, Kira,” Martha greeted. “I have your visitor badge for you.” She
handed it over the counter. “I’ll let Dr. Waylon know you’re here.”
“No need to bother her,” Leon said. “I can get Kira oriented to whatever
assignment Dr. Waylon wanted her to work on.”
“I was given specific instructions.” Martha made entries on the desktop in
front of her. “You can get to your duties, Dr. Calleti. I’ll keep Kira company
while she waits.”
Kira gave Leon a nod to let him know it was all right.
He acquiesced. “Very well. Maybe I’ll see you at lunch?”
“I’ll let you know,” Kira said. “If not, dinner.”
He smiled. “Have a good day.” He headed for the security arch into A
Wing.
“Any more details involved with the orders Dr. Waylon left?” Kira asked
the receptionist.
“No, but your badge now has access to C Wing.”
“What’s in there?” Kira already had a rough idea based on Leon’s
orientation, but she was curious how Martha would reply.
