Just then a side door, about twenty meters from the numbered cubicles opened and a guard stepped out followed by Ben and another guard. The lead guard said to the Captain of the guard, “We have another one for you, but he doesn’t have the choice to leave the run. And the computer says to put him in stall number eleven.”
“Right,” said the Captain. He looked Ben up and down, then he herded the prisoners, to the end of the hall. The guards in the back kept their phasors trained on the group as the Captain stepped forward and said in a loud voice, “When your name is read step into the open cubicle."
The name of each runner was called out as the doors, one by one, slid open.
