“Hi,” I said. “Hey. I, uh, need a few minutes here.
Sorry, uh, something came up with Noah. Lyle, why don’t you show Aza around?
Show her the lab, maybe? I’ll meet you there in a bit, okay?”
I nodded and then got back into the golf cart. Lyle took out his cell phone.
“Malik, you got a few minutes to give Davis’s friend a tour?... We’ll be there shortly.”
Lyle drove me past the golf course, asking me about my school and my grades and what my parents did for a living.
I told him my mom was a teacher. “Dad’s not in the picture?”
“He’s dead.” “Oh. I’m sorry.”
We followed a packed-dirt path through a stand of trees to a rectangular glass building with a flat roof.
A sign outside read LABORATORY. Lyle walked me to the door and opened it, but then said good-bye.
The door closed behind me, and I saw Malik the Zoologist leaning over a microscope.
He seemed not to have heard me walk in.
