![]() "Agatha!" Gil called out again, fishing a lockpick from his pocket. She might never let him live down leaving that kind of a patchy connection on the door, but what was he supposed to do? This was the kitchen, not the lab, and he'd been working fast! The system might backfire, and instead of the intruder (or his wife) bearing the effects, the chocolate-caramel cake he'd been baking (and burning and then restarting from scratch) all morning would get doused with the corrosive acid-poison mixture in the spray vents and then set aflame. Just a slapdash piece of work, nothing truly elaborate, but if she accidentally reversed the polarity on the inner subsystem's arc door, there was a 63% chance she'd blow the whole thing up. So while it had been cooling, before he could put the icing on, he'd created a protection system to keep everyone and everything at bay. He hadn't wanted anyone to disturb the cake he'd baked as his surprise, obviously, while he went to get his wife so he could present it to her. It didn't take long for the panic to set in. ![]() Then, he heard the swish of a door and a slam echo through the corridor behind him, followed by a delighted squeal and a loud explosion. With a sigh, he went on to searching the next room. For all he knew, the walls were in on it, too. "I am Gilgamesh Wulfenbach! I have faced down armies, have found the lost key of Enkardima, have evaded countless horrors that prowl the heights and shores and skies of Earth! How could I have lost her!?" The ceiling watching him shake his fist was none too impressed. "But this is madness!" he yelled at no one in particular. Keeping tabs on where she was while he'd been working on her birthday surprise hadn't been easy, but surely he hadn't lost her. And a few minutes before that, she'd been peeking in through the window (blocked by his motion-activated mirror shield), and before that trying to get access from the cellar. "Agatha? Sweetheart, where did you go?" She'd been right here a moment ago. "Honey, it's ready!" Gil called out, running up the stairs from the kitchen and poking around the rooms on the second floor.
