“Allison, going into the lab is too risky for you,” Kellan insisted. “Letgo instead.”
“No, it's safer if | go. I'm more familiar with basement level one, and...” She paused. “The people there won't
stopwhen they see me.”
Everyone assumed Allison had becacquainted with the first basement’s staff, unaware that it was actually

Finally, on the fourth day, Jareth approached her with what sounded like good news.
“Mr. Shaw won't be in today. You can stay on the first basement level. Just steer clear of the second basement —
it’s reserved for critical organ experiments, so it'd be best not to get in anyone’s way.”
