Mike cast about for a solution. When he spotted the dilapidated
security fence marking the perimeter of the Gammon Chemical Plant, the
tiniest flame of an idea was ignited...one that would quickly turn into
an inferno.
Taking up the equivalent of at least six
city blocks, the plant was the largest single obstacle to getting
directly to the stadium. After a moment of silent reflection, Mike
announced, "C'mon. We can cut through here." After wriggling through a
loose section in the fence, Mike held the chain link back to create as
wide an opening as he could for Mary and Desmond.
Despite it being a Sunday, GCP never really "shut
down" completely. There was always at least a skeleton crew making
sure no major spills or health hazards took place. Consequently, Mike
and his entourage would have to take care to avoid notice, as
trespassing was not only illegal, but--in all likelihood--would result
in a permanent grounding their parents ever found out.
The trio silently wove through the labyrinth of pipes transporting who-knows-what to who-knows-where.
