As the door swung shut behind her, Ellie sttod stock-still in the doorway. Despite the heat being off, she still dressed to blend in. And the first rule of blending in was "Hide your most distinctive feature" For that reason, Ellie wore a generic black fedora and gloves.
She lifted her head and glanced around the shop. Not much had changed. Everything was clean and dust-free, the grizzly head glared out from the east wall with the same old ferocity, and the marble globe tucked off in one corner was still set to view Antarctica. The only changes were in the pile of odds and ends on the counter. More wires and gears were scattered there than before. Other than that, she shop looked as it had the night she ran in, desperate to hide.
