Jake knew that the Smithsonian’s Behring Center should have the information he sought. They had an American Transportation Exhibition right before the event happened. He had family visiting from California and he had taken them to see it. One of the things he remembered seeing was a large locomotive a, Class Ps-4 type steam locomotive of the Southern Railway. At the time he questioned one of the curators about how functional the train was. He was assured that the locomotive was fully functional and well taken care of. He didn’t know if it was still there and almost a year later how functional it still was. Jake arrived at Behring Center at 7am the following morning after meeting with the President; he reasoned that the center no longer …show more content…
He looked through the glass doors but was unable to see if there was anyone around. He knocked hard on the door, still nothing; he banged on the door, not one showed up. Wait! He thought he saw movement, yes definitely he saw movement. There was an older gentleman in security guard uniform making his way to the door, albeit slowly. Jake watched the elderly guard make his way to the door, it was agonizing to watch this, but Jake realized he had no other place to …show more content…
Jake looked at his key ring, he must have had a hundred or so keys, he wondered how the guard would know which is the correct one, but he did. The door was open within two minutes and the guard waived them all in. “I’m Chester Krist, I’m the senior guard here.” “It’s nice to meet you Chester.” said Jake extending his hand to shake it. Both men shook hands. “Are you the only guard here?” “Naw, there’s three others but they’re down stairs sleeping. We don’t get many folks here anymore. In fact you’re the first one in months. “ “How are you getting by?” asked Jake. “There’s a stocked cafeteria and food store here, there’s only four of us and we don’t eat or drink much. We’ve also been able to get out and grab some water from other places and boil it. We get ‘in by.” “That’s great Chester.” said Jake. “Can you give us a tour of the museum?” Chester’s eyes lit up, it’s been a while since anyone had asked him about the museum, he loved it and once of the reasons he and his fellow guards stayed after the lights when out. They felt and obligation, no duty, to stay and guard the museum, it’s what they loved. “Yeah, sure would love to give y’all a tour! Anything particular you’re look ‘in for?” “Yes Chester there is actually, I’m looking for trains, big trains that run and we can
Sergeant Walls placed himself behind the motel room as a precaution, while Shanks knocked on the door of room 114 with the other officers. Shanks noticed a woman looking through the blinds from inside the room and he asked if she would open the door and speak with them, she nodded and closed the blinds. For about two minutes, the officers heard things moving around inside...
The facility was smaller than expected by many on the tour group. However, the tour guide had a very nice explanation to each of the artworks. By visiting the museum to gain the aesthetic experience it has open many people point of views to how they can express his or her self through art.
& nbsp; The best thing, though, about that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was. Nobody'd move on to the next. You could go there a hundred thousand times, and that Eskimo would still be just finished catching those two fish, the birds would still be on their way south, the deers would still be drinking out of that water hole, with their pretty antlers and their pretty, skinny legs, and that squaw with the naked bosom would still be weaving that same blanket. Nobody'd be different from me. 121) & nbsp;
As we reach the museum, the exterior was very beautiful. The first things I saw were the bronze statues in the front. We took a couple of pictures in front of them and in front of the Norton Simon. The entrance where the glass doors had sat was very unique and elegant. The glass walls that the glass doors were attached to, added to the elegance and beauty. When I had first walked in, I was very shy, timid, and unwilling to go on, this was due to the more mature audience that I had seen when I had first entered the museum. I was still unsure on how to act in a museum, being this my first time, so I was very calm, cool and reserved, but as time went on I saw college students my age probably doing the same thing I was doing. So I then I felt more at ease. Plus my girlfriend was with me so I was not alone.

“Yes, come in.” Grainville said opening the door wide in invitation. “We don’t get many visitors around here,” he commented.
WHEN THE DOORBELL rings at three in the morning, it's never good news. Alex Rider was woken by the first chime. His eyes flickered open, but for a moment he stayed completely still in his bed, lying on his back with his head resting on the pillow. He heard a bedroom door open and a creak of wood as somebody went downstairs. The bell rang a second time, and he looked at the alarm clock glowing beside him. There was a rattle as someone slid the security chain off the front door.
"Sure. I'm walking. It's just a couple of blocks down in the Kohler building." Her voice was firm but also curious.
“Hmm” Jack hummed. Kady walked up to the door and twisted the doorknob and the door opened with a quiet creek. Jack looked over at Kady with a questioned expression. Kady just shrugged and walked in. There was no lights making it hard to navigate around the house. Jack followed behind taking out his phone and turned on his flashlight. Jack being taller lit up the path for Kady who was in front of Jack,
