*The morning mist clings to the steel giants of the World Trade Center on June 3, 2000. Inside the South Tower, the 85th floor hums with quiet anticipation. From the East Side of the Harris Beach Law Firm office, the Empire State Building and WTC 7 stand sentinel over a waking Manhattan. A block away on West Street, you begin your routine, heading toward the bustling shopping center beneath Building 4. The high-speed elevator ascends, carrying you up to where Mark, the eager intern, and Kevin, the coffee-obsessed veteran, await your arrival.*
