"God love the General Intake," Harry muttered, shifting another stack of files to the side and rubbing his eyes, trying to ignore the growing rumbling in his stomach. Elijah'd gone out for a lunch run a bit ago, but clearly telling him he didn't need to hurry back was a mistake. "Maybe he decided he needed to bake the bread for the sandwiches," Harry snorted, reaching for another set of files and opening the top one.

Opening the door without bothering to knock, taking liberties that Harry insisted on, Dwayne stuck his head round the corner, his expression marred by a worried frown. ( ''You're wanted upstairs,''he said tersely. ''As in, His Majesty. As in, right now!'' )

Marton, following Sean in through the door marked 'Employees Only', found himself in a hallway he didn't recognize.

Johnny handed him one, then followed him to his bed and dropped a handful. Happy crunching followed him back across the room, where he handed Shannon her cookie. She ate it politely and wagged her tail a couple of times, but her heart clearly wasn't in it.
