He watched her return with a smile as he looked up, and began to talk a mile a minute, "Yeah, we are still good," he said with a giggle at her excitement for the moment, "I have the Uber dude meeting us out back to avoid any further conversation, you ready to see one of the coolest things in the building? IT eyes only."
Without further ado, he would stand and walk, but in the opposite direction of where she would come in at to a door that was on the backside of the server room. Among the hums of the server, the door would open with a click when he swiped his badge, stopping her from doing so to hold the story for longer. What looked like a larger storage closet, he would move to the back corner, where he would reach down to a hatch that was in the floor. Typing a code into a number lock on door, he would pull it open to reveal lights shining from below.
"I promise, I am not abducting you," he would say, which in hindsight, might not have been the best thing to say, but the next sight she would see is a underground corridor, concrete walkway that was about four people wide and about ten feet tall. This path had lights over head every couple of feet and pipes, wires, and all kinds of other things running through it.
"The original IT guy showed me this," he said with a smile, "It is a underground pathway between this building and the parking garage next door that they used for utilities. You can reach the parking garage on the other side of the street and run into no one from the building."
