Aaron showed us the secret room where four guards inside is in suspended animation. I sat down with my knees pressured to the floor, I put my hand on to the one of the guy's chest, His heartbeat is like 1 beat per 4 seconds... unusual one.
"Hey mister not kindergarten guy! Tell me how the walls were made."
I somehow annoyed Aaron by the looks of his actions, he just ignored me and starts looking at the airvents to check how big it is. He came towards me and told me that the walls have three layers first is wood, second is cement, lastly is another wood. Its an unusual pattern considering that this is the president's mansion.
"So you guys got anything?" Aaron asked
"No none at the moment." Arthur replied
I looked at the others and only one of us isn't doing anything, Jonathan. I confronted him but just speak silently just in case Aaron eavesdrop.
"Why aren't you doing anything?" I asked
"Do I really have to put my head on dusty places just to find the perpetrator? C'mon I'm far better than you guys." Jonathan said
"Hey Jeux junior! How old is this room?" Jonathan asked
"Uhm shouldn't we find the [perpetrator outside the mansion?" Wendy asked
"oh how stupid..." Jonathan muttered
"Hey don't be so harsh." Francis said
"Simps opinions aren't prioritized here." Jonathan said
To the looks of things, Jonathan is annoying everyone in the room. Aaron is clenching his fist but his expression is still the same, cool dude but annoying.
"To explain things, this mansion is like a labyrinth, the perimeter is basically the last defense of this mansion. By knowing how the perpetrator left this room then we might be able to know where he has gone but the others would go through the other paths to block his escape." Aaron said
"Just tell me how old this room is will you?" Jonathan said
"5 to 6 years."
"So the wood is painted gray, you know most woods when getting old it gets a lil darker especially for the edges. Plus I'm sure that the woods were cut equally so they could just paste it to the wet cement which is the second layer, so looks at the edges of this room and tell me if you find something useful." Jonathan said
Make sense, I'm not aware of such information since I've grown up inside a house made out of marble and cement, I'll give it to Jonathan for this one.
Nash pointed out a little bit pushed side of the room near the edge. Pei looks at it and start inspecting it with his hand, He slightly exert force to his fingers then the wall was pushed back.
"Unit 4 and 5 guard kitchen 4 and guestroom 3." Aaron said through the radio
"What was that for?" Arthur asked
"I asked my men to block the path." Aaron said
Impressive! He knows the whole blueprint of this mansion by just knowing the position of a wall.
Aaron kicks the wall down revealing dots of wet grey cement on the floor on the way to the kitchen. He quickly walk and follow the path and we go after him with one of us being left behind.
Nash's POV,
I decided to stay behind for the very reason of me not being interested in catching the perpetrator and I am also tired, imagine a complete douche destroying supper.
On our way on this room the strawberry scent changed to a bit of blueberry, I know it seems irrelevant but I stayed here to find out if it really is irrelevant.
I removed the helmet of one of the soldiers and notice their neck moving normally, I don't know how to explain but when we breath our neck got pushed in and out. I look at his gears and notice that his gear doesn't allow his belly to enlarge when he inhale.
I put my hand an inch closer to the guy's nose and notice that he still breath normally. Finding it weird, I put my hand at his chest but his heartbeat say he is dying. I removed his bulletproof vest, till someone tap my back making me jump forward.
"What the!"
"Chill its me" Its just Melissa
"Melissa? What the hell are you doing in here? you're supposed to be with your butler." I said
"I ran away from him, oh actually I wheeled away from him to make things clear." She just blinked at me like what she said can make me calm.
"It's dangerous out here! The perpetrator might still be in here." I said
"I know but I want to see you guys be on action." She said
I noticed that the wheels of her wheelchair got some blue color spat on it, I smelled it and it seems to be blueberry.
One conclusion, the change of scent isn't irrelevant.
"Found something?" Melissa asked
"Yes."
I pushed her wheelchair out the door due to me hearing footsteps coming. As the footsteps get louder the scent gets stronger. A guy on mask covered in blue liquid showed up on the path that opened up through the wall. I don't exactly know how to put up a fight so I decided to wait for him to attack.
He charged toward me and goes to give me an elbow hit to the neck, This attack could absolutely kill me but thanks to my reflexes I got to find an opening to stop his attack by knee kicking his bellyside.
His attack was cancelled and he also dropped down the floor, I checked on his pockets and there a find to what it looks like an epinephrine but it seems weird its stickier than the ones I played with before.
I didn't have the chance to inspect him cause the others came rushing through the wall. Aaron picked up the guy by its collar. He pulled him outside the room while repeatedly asking the question "Where are the documents?"
"This isn't exciting at all." Jonathan muttered
