It was already late in the afternoon when Kevin had just finished writing down what equipment he would borrow from the laboratory where he worked at.
Today, Kevin did as he planned to borrow some tools he needed from the laboratory. Yes, that was his idea last night. The laboratory where he worked was officially funded by the government, so he couldn't borrow the equipment carelessly without submitting a formal application letter. If he dared to do so, then he could be punished.
In the application letter, Kevin honestly wrote that he wanted to research a specimen at his home. The laboratory manager probably would ask about what specimens he would study, so he better prepared for an answer. He had an option to buy new equipment for his research, but it didn't seem like the best alternative because he might have to spend years of his savings on it.
