Steve took a deep breath. He had to control himself, there would be plenty of time to capture tiny people in cars later. Hell, those two still might be banging in the car after he got back. "You two are lucky I'm busy," Steve whispered to himself with a smile.
Fumbling with his keys in the darkness, Steve was finally able to get into the science building he worked at. He admired how quiet and peaceful it was, it seemed like a nice little escape at times to get away from the chaos at home. Steve was thankful there should only be two people here right now, as it made explaining the situation less likely. He knew whichever security guard was on duty would probably be posted at the desk, unless they were making rounds. He had absolutely no idea where Rosalita, the cleaning lady would be at this point.
As he arrived at his office, Steve unlocked his door and turned on the lights. He did not think Lisa had a key, but stranger things have happened. Looking over his desk, Steve began searching for any sign of his daughter being here. Surely something would have been out of place or Lisa would have touched something. However, nothing appeared to have changed. "Well I guess she wasn't in here," Steve said exiting the room.
Walking up to the room perpendicular to his, the white room which he had been testing the shrink ray in, Steve just popped the door open. "Huh, I thought I locked that," Steve said to himself curiously. Opening the door, he noticed that it was still empty, with no sign of anyone having been in there. It then dawned on Steve that in his excitement holding the car he had shrunken, he had most likely forgotten to lock up.
Still searching for a sign of his daughter, Steve felt a slight rumble in his stomach. Thinking little of it, he did not know that his daughter was in a desperate state down there, and was currently climbed onto the roof of a car, in a desperate attempt to remain out of the churning soup that was her father's stomach acid.
Continuing to walk around the building, Steve saw the security guard making his rounds. "Excuse me," Steve called out, jogging up to the man. Steve was slightly confused, this was the same security guard who had worked the first shift today. Steve had thought he saw him leave in his car before the other one took over.
"Evening Professor Jordan," the young guard said with a smile. "I didn't know you were working late."
"Oh yeah," Steve said, forgetting his train of thought. "I was just looking for something at the office. Say, weren't you working this morning?"
The security guard rolled his eyes. "Yeah I was, but I got called back after the other guard who relieved me just left. What a jackass," he said in an annoyed tone.
Steve started to get sweaty, he knew that the reason the other guard was missing was cause he shrunk and crushed him. However, Steve still wanted to know if anyone here had seen his daughter. What does he do?
