She steps out onto the fourth floor of a
beautiful, sky lit atrium.
Happy runs her hand along the cast iron railing and
takes it all in. This place is unlike any building
Happy has ever seen. It looks magical. It is also
beautiful, sky lit atrium.
Happy runs her hand along the cast iron railing and
takes it all in. This place is unlike any building
Happy has ever seen. It looks magical. It is also
eerily quiet. There is not a soul in sight. It actually
feels as if this place could have, just moments ago,
been filled with life and bustle, but then, for some
reason, was suddenly evacuated.
Happy examines the old marble floor.
Happy examines the old marble floor.
She spots a taped white arrow a few yards
ahead.
Step by step and arrow by arrow,
Step by step and arrow by arrow,
Happy makes her quiet way around
the atrium to the opposite side.
The arrows stop at an office door.
Happy takes a deep breath, opens the door and
GASPS!!!
Betty and Barney are standing in the center of
the completely empty office. Barney is taking
digitals of three portrait photos on the wall.
Betty is terribly serious and also very nervous,
"We have a message we cannot decipher.
Are you here to help?"
Happy holds onto the door frame for support,
"Me?"
Betty tries again, "We received specific
instructions to come here for an alphabet."
Barney sees poor Happy is more than nervous

Barney sees poor Happy is more than nervous
and jumps in with his sweet smile, "Are you a
Sammeee?"
Happy nods, "Yes. I am a Sammeee. Well, at least,
I am trying to be and I just met an old man at
the Dunkin Donuts and he brought me here."
Betty tilts her head, "Who are you?"
"I'm Happy. Happy Rogers. Who are you?"
"We're Sammeees too. I'm Barney, a fully
committed Sammeee and this is Betty,
a somewhat committed Sammeee. "
Betty snaps at him, "That's not true. I am
fully committed."
A VOICE bellows up the atrium, "Is someone
up there?"
The three freeze.
The VOICE again, "This building is the private
property of Otis elevator. Any person or persons
caught trespassing will be arrested and charges
will be filed."
Barney looks at Betty and then Happy, "Run!"
The threesome burst out of the office and
around the atrium.
A whistle BLOWS!
"I see you! Stop! I am calling the police!"
The threesome run for the stairwell.
Betty, Barney and Happy stomp down the steps
as fast as they can!
The first little iron door kicks open!
Then the second little iron door kicks open!
Happy nods, "Yes. I am a Sammeee. Well, at least,

Betty, Barney and Happy exit the alley
way and run down S. Wabash Street toward
the "EL".
