Mia toiled behind Maximillian like a death row prisoner heading to an execution platform.
She was pale as a ghost and sweating heavily despite the cold weather outside.
Maximillian presented his badge at the reception counter. A bespectacled man examined it carefully.
"Please step into the scanner, Sir," the man gestured toward a device on the counter. Maximillian complied, and the scanner captured his facial features and iris. Finally, a fingerprint scan completed the security check.
"Welcome to the Cathedral Vault, Agent Grant," the bespectacled man smiled at him once his identity has been confirmed. "How can we help?"
"I wish to access the vault H-947620."
"Very well. Did you bring the key with you?"
Maximillian held a metallic key before the bespectacled man's eyes. A tag with the vault number was attached to it.
