Andrews 8 A Shocking Discovery "Are we close to my school?" I asked when we rounded a corner and headed toward an apartment building. Despite our pace, we had been walking for quite a while, "Oh, sure. It's only about a dozen blocks south of here. No problem," Tony assured me. We stopped before a tall building just at the ,corner. It had a gray brick front and a faded burgandy awning over the entrance. "This is it," Tony said. "Wait until you see the view. It's on the fifteenth floor." he said, and we entered the small lobby. There was nothing much to it, some mail boxes on the right and a bench just under them with packages that were delivered for the tenants. I thought the elevator was very small, too, and it looked old and worn, so much so that I became anxious when the doors closed and he pushed the button for fifteen. I didn't want to say, but I had never been higher than the third floor in any building. I heard the metal cables grinding and groaning above us as if we were close to the maximum load or something.
