Cat leads up the alley, then around to the rear of a building, then down a 
stairway, then through an open door, then down another stairway, then down a 
narrow hall, then into a furnace room, then around to a hidden nook behind the 
furnace. The floor is clean. The softly rumbling furnace makes the air warm and 
cozy. They sit. Eliana leans down on her elbows. Cat sniffs at her face.
