Excerpt
from: The Kelsington Conspiracy
Parminder and Elias emerged into the main library in an out of the
way alcove, on the lowest floor. Elias could see that they were in
the history section. “Maybe there's something on the history of the
university here,” he said.
“The tunnels are secret, they wouldn't be mentioned,” Parminder
said with slight exhasperation.
“No, but there would be hints,” Elias responded.
“Probably,” Parminder said. She hadn't read the history books,
being focused on her Commerce and Law studies.
“Now, 9-7-4 for history in Australia...” Elias murmured, trying
to recall the Linnae Classfication Numbers.
“I'm not stopping you,” Parminder said, still exhasperated.
Soon, Elias found a few books on the history of New Oxford, and one
on the the history of the university. “And while I'm at it, one on
the history of Kelsington International in Australia...”
“I doubt that would have pertinant information.”
“I'll find one that wasn't published by their publisher,”
Elias shot back.
“That still wouldn't be helpful.”
“Something may have slipped through...”
Elias did find one book on the recent history of KI in Australia
(published in the 90's, but it had to do), that was published by the
Press Division of the University of New Monmouthshire (which was a
university that still hadn't had KI's glance on it). He then went to
borrow the books.
Elias borrowed the books. “I'm heading back to the College now, the
agent should be gone,” he said to Parminder, who had followed him
to the loans desk.
“I don't think that's a good idea,” Parminder objected.
“Why not?”
“Kelsington could be viewing the University from space,”
Parminder whispered.
“Maybe, I'll keep under cover as much as possible,” Elias said.
“That
probably won't be enough.”
