Curiosity killed the cat, but he figured it was worth it. Every day he came to the same office building. Every day he went up and down the same elevator shafts. Every day he blankly stared at the doors till they got to his floor and he got out.
Every day that is, until today. When he got back from lunch and stepped into the elevator like he had a million times, a beautiful woman got in with him. She absentmindedly pushed the rear elevator door button instead of the front. Not only that, but she had pushed the wrong floor as well. "Oh well", he thought- "can't have beauty like that and brains." He helped her find the correct button and floor, and stepped to the back of the elevator to enjoy a nice view.
When she got out, he followed her with his eyes till the doors closed. Then, as the elevator rose, he started zoning again- knowing he had 10 floors to go and this was a slow elevator. Halfway up it slowed to stop and he remembered the button for the wrong floor and door. It almost knocked him over, as he had been leaning on the back wall all this time. He had never seen it open before, and had to look. What he saw surprised him.
It was a little carpeted hallway about 8-10 feet long and about 5 feet wide. This must be where the cleaning service stashes their carts, and moves them around the building. There was a door at the end of the hall he must have passed a million times on the outside of this room and never known what it was. He also saw it could be locked from this side.
Stepping back into the elevator, his mind swirled. He couldn't believe such a perfect spot existed so close and he never knew it. He imagined all floors had the same thing, and even got out the back door on his floor to be sure. Yep, it worked. Now he had to think of a way to use this knowledge.
He got to his office and fired up his computers and logged back in. One was his work PC with strict net filters. The other was his laptop for less constrained activities on a public network from another floor. He used that one to search for an outlet to use his new knowledge.
