Matt hauled the scientist out of the room not too gently. The more aggressive he was, the more helpless the scientist would appear, giving her an alibi if need be. The hallway had a camera mounted on the wall, swiveling slowly back and forth. Matt waited until it was turned away, then leaned towards the woman's ear

"Do the cameras record audio?" he hissed. His mind was forming a plan as rapidly as possible. Find an isolated location without audio or video. Tell the scientist that he has no intention of killing her and ban her support. Their best option was to stay as close to the cure as possible. Barring that, he wanted to stay as close to people who knew where it was. This building must have record somewhere. Computer logs, formulas, anything. If he left now, he might never get back in and would have to start with nothing.

Matt had already decided he wanted to bring the scientist with him alive. She was no use dead and would be able to give them information on this "virus" and what it entailed. Trying to negotiate through the building armed with whatever keys the woman might have was never going to work.

He also decided to ask her what her name was. But first they had to get somewhere safe.
