David cruised through the day without thinking about the supposed "fourth floor" for the rest of the day. Probably just one of those "urban legends" that they told the freshman to get them stirred up. David remembered that when he was a freshman, he had been told that the burgers were made of "vat grown protein."
David was finishing up his last class when Mr. Johnson waved him to desk.
"David, I was wondering, since you're leaving..." Mr. Johnson began
"If I would run down to the basement and get your supplies for next week?" David grinned as he completed his teacher's sentence. It wasn't the first time he had done this favor for his elderly math teacher, and he didn't mind in the least.
"Here's my elevator card, and one of my classroom keys," Mr. Johnson said, handing over them both. "I'll pick them up from you when we both get back on Monday."
"I'll be here early as usual, Mr. Johnson. You have a good weekend." David replied.
As David headed toward the elevator with card in hand, he suddenly remembered the discussion about the fourth floor. David had an elevator card now. Of course, he was only supposed to use it access the supplies in the basement. But would it really hurt to take a side trip to the basement?
David headed down to the basement without running into anybody. He picked up Mr. Johnson's supplies and took them to his classroom.
David looked at the elevator card thoughtfully. One one hand, he could just stay in the locked classroom, wait until school was cleared out, and sneak up to the fourth floor, to see what was what. On the other hand, it seemed like he would be abusing Mr. Johnson's trust just to satisfy his own curiosity.
