After a few days of deskwork, Elinor was back on the schedule to work in the lab. The laboratory director pulled her hair back into a ponytail, as per her own rules, and opened the door, wondering if any of her assistants had come in early. Something had come in early. Elinor froze in the doorway, her eyes wide and transfixed on the utterly dismal state her lab was in. She didn't make a sound, but the woman sort of went rigid for a long minute, her heart pounding away in her chest at the alarming scene. There was no way one of her fellow workers left it this way, for they all knew how controlling (to put it frankly) she was about her lab.
Once in a long while, an employee from another department would come in, unaware of Elinor's rules and concerns, and leave a mess. But this... Something had happened here. This was not unlike what seemed to be happening all over the Ministry. Only, now, her own lab was a crime scene, as it were. Elinor carefully stepped over and around anything that looked like it had been disturbed, trying to get to where she kept her tweezers and such, fully intending to see what the perpetrators had left behind.
