The building had always been a haven of quiet anonymity, a place where people could exist without pretense. He knew the building's secrets and its charms. The thought of exposing those secrets to the uninitiated brought a feeling of... bubbling elation.

He pulled out his phone, and opened his calendar. He had some planning to do.
