The lift in Calder Point only went up. Everybody on the nineteenth floor knew it, and nobody argued, because the arrow painted on the inside wall pointed the same way and the old men playing dominoes in the foyer said that was the rule. Dev had no interest in rules that morning. He had a bus to catch and a lift that would not stop at ground.

He pressed the button for the ground floor eleven times. On the twelfth, Mrs Pell from flat four leaned out of her door with a carrier bag of bread and told him to stop bullying it. "Lifts are like dogs," she said. "They know when you're cross. Point at where you want to be, then get out of its way."

He did as he was told, which surprised them both. He stood with his palm flat on the painted arrow and said, quietly, that he needed the ground. The doors slid open at nineteen, and the lift stayed exactly where it was. He stepped out onto the landing and found the fire door propped open with a brick, and beyond it the stairwell going down into a smell of damp concrete and somebody's fried onions.

He took the stairs two at a time, past the eighteenth and the seventeenth and every floor after, and by the time he reached the car park the bus was already pulling away. He stood in the drizzle and watched it go. Then he saw a second arrow, sprayed in faded yellow on the pillar by the bins, pointing towards the road. He shouldered his bag and walked after it.
