"Next stop: <undergroundcityname> Center - Library"
Annie looks up. That’s the station she has to get off at. She only needs to be at work in the afternoon so she decided to get the manual for Jack.
The train comes to a halt in the station. Annie steps out onto the platform. Few people are around at this time. She glances at the clock next to the train display: 10:17 AM. The light on the display switches to the next train and the digits for the time of arrival start flipping over. *Is there a more elegant way to describe the train station displays of yesteryear?* The door chime sounds and the doors close. Annie starts to walk. The train begins to hum and starts to move. She follows the roughly three other people towards the exit.
*section to tie this together: she walks into the library*
Annie walks up to the counter.
"Hello, how may I help you today?"
The guy behind the counter smiles.
"Borrowing the next stack of fantasy books?", he asks.
"Uhm... Actually, no", Annie replies as she takes her library card and a piece of paper out of her bag.
"I have a quite unusual request. I am looking for" - she glances at the piece of paper - "a manual for a B three three F Y dash A F bunker door."
The guy types into his terminal for a moment. Annie places her library card on the counter.
With a worried look, he turns back to her: "I’m afraid, that information has recently been classified. There is a note about terrorism in here."
He musters her for a second, then he takes the card and scribbles something on it before putting it back.
"I can check you against a list of people with security clearance. One moment, I’ll get it."
He gestures and nods towards the exit. Then, he turns around and walks towards a door on the left, seemingly taking his sweet time. Annie gets the message, grabs her library card and makes a swift exit. Just as she leaves, she hears him call out to someone else:
"Dorothy, she left. What do I put on the list?"
*heavy door falls shut, Annie hurries back to the train station and gets on the first train that comes, she takes out her library card and checks the note - such and such station, 10:30 PM*
