Chapter 17

CHAPTER 17 Dr. Gomez sat in a deep, puffy lobby chair, pretending to read a complimentary USA Today while listening to the man in the suit and sunglasses carry on his conversation

in Hebrew. "Don't worry," the man said. "I'll have the other squirrel within 24 hours." After that the conversation got less interesting and soon came to an end. Then the man was quiet for a long time. Dr. Gomez lowered his newspaper slightly to take a peek at what he was up to. Not a good move. The man was looking right back at him! The man gave Dr. Gomez a suspicious glare, put his phone in his suit jacket pocket, and headed toward the elevators. Dr. Gomez waited for him to pass, then sprang up and ran for the stairs. Sadie, wandering the first-floor halls, saw Dr. Gomez opening the stairway door. "What's up?" she whispered. "He's going up!" Dr. Gomez sprinted up to the second floor. "Oh no!" Sadie said helplessly, shaking her hands as she ran in place. Dr. Gomez popped his head out of the doorway on the second floor to see Justin with his ear to the door of room 210. "Hide!" Dr. Gomez said, then zipped back to the stairway to run up to the third floor. "Hide where?" Justin looked around at all the closed and locked doors.

On the third floor, Dr. Gomez spotted Michael listening at the door of room 317. DING! The elevator doors started to open! Dr. Gomez waved frantically at Michael, signaling to him to hide. Michael dove behind a cleaning cart parked outside of room 316. Dr. Gomez ducked back into the stairway just as the man in the suit and sunglasses stepped off the elevator and turned toward Michael's hiding place!
