[ CW ] The extra silent protagonist .

The security guards were chatting, enjoying the pizza they had ordered. When the buzzer rang, one of them instinctively hit the button opening the door. He did n't even look to see who it was. Their conversation continued. 
 
 Along the hallway, people walked eyes-down, going about their business. Nobody paid done else any attention. In the elevator, it was more of the same. 
 
 The elevator stopped at the twelfth floor. There was an experimental medical device company and a financial company taking up all of the office space on that floor. 
 
 The medical device company had a keypad on their door for secure entry. The women's washroom was next to it. An employee saw someone come out of the washroom as they entered their combination. Not thinking anything of it, they went on into the office. 
 
 That employee's combination was entered one more time on the keypad, and the door opened one more. 
 
 Employees are supposed to keep their lab doors locked for security, but it was so inconvenient to unlock it every time you had to talk to someone or get something. Peter generally left his unlocked. Sure, the robotic prosthetic arm in his lab was worth millions to someone who would steal it, but few people even knew it was there. Plus, the building had security, they did n't just let anyone in and a combination was needed to get into the office. There was also an alarm on the device itself. Locking the lab was just inconvenient. 
 
 Peter stepped out to see his boss. He passed a few people on the way. Three of them he did n't recognize, there were so many new hires lately. 
 
 Wayne was at his desk in the lab beside Peter's. He was reading Reddit when the alarm went off. He rushed out to see what was going on. He saw someone rushing out with a bag over their shoulder. 
 
 A security guard ran up. `` Where did he go?'' Wayne pointed. `` What did he look like?'' 
 `` I... could n't see''

 Edit: Ok, I probably wo n't continue the chase... but I will definitely use something like this in the bigger story I am working on.
