As the room showed admiration for the speaker Aaron felt a sudden urge. "I'll be right back," he says to Fred while slipping out before the rooms settled down. "I should not have drank that extra soda on the way over," Aaron says to himself while making a b-line for the restroom. After taking care of business, he heads back to the conference.
As he turns the corner, he spots 2 men in slick black suits and shades seemingly guarding the door. "They were not there when i slipped out." Arron thinks about approaching them to let him back in, but their imposing manner causes him the think twice.
"Elon Musk i would chance it for," he says to himself, "But Jessica Johnson, not so much." Aaron backs away and goes back to his room. "Fred will let me know if I missed anything good."
