`` Again? What is this, the fourth time this month?'' John sighs, his chair creaking as he stands. He shuffles out of his cube and pauses for Tim, the new accountant, sprinting past in a blur of sweater vest and coiffed mustached. John rolls his eyes at the enthusiasm of youth as he moves to his preferred spot. 
 
 Mary and Glen are in the break room when the announcement comes. Their eyes brighten with the same glimmer as they lock gazes. Glen takes a quick look out the door to see if anyone is coming their way while Mary unlocks the utility closet with her purloined key. They are already starting to pull each other's clothes off as the closet door shuts behind them. 
 
 George clenches his jaw with determination, certain that he has figured the best place this time around. He reaches under the desk and pulls out a collapsible step ladder. He sets it up, climbs quickly the few feet to reach the ceiling, and moves a tile out of the way. He grabs a rope tied to the ladder and then pulls himself into the ceiling crawlspace. The ladder follows him and, a moment later, the tile slides back into place. 
 
 Tim, meanwhile, is having a poor time of it. He tries to duck under the reception desk but, well, the receptionist is already there. She gives him a kick to the knee as he tries to occupy the space with her. Limping now, he thinks of the bathroom, but there's a Cleaning In Progress sign in place, and he keeps running. He knows it is getting dangerously close to being too late, so he stumbles behind some of the fake plants in the lobby. Hopefully the green sweater and dark corner will be enough? 
 
 The elevator dings. The doors slowly creep open. For a moment there is quiet... then the boss' six year old son bursts forth from the enclosure and goes on the hunt for a playmate!
