"Guys, I think we need to leave this place now," Seth said while looking at his phone
"I will take a picture of these files" Zendaya took out her phone and start taking pictures of each file after that we leave the room
"Sh*t" We heard him cursed
"Why?" I asked him because he suddenly stopped walking, so we also stopped walking too
"Someone is coming, we will meet them in the hallway we need to find another way," Seth said we will be caught by chance, so we need to find another way
We started walking in a different direction, we didn't know where we going until we reached the dead end there was a door there so we don't have any choice but to enter there. We were surprised when we open the door
"A laboratory?" Eunice said. It's not just a laboratory, there is a large tube that looks like a capsule, I walked toward the capsule near me and stared intently, unable to see what was inside even though it was pure glass but its thick
"What is that?" Alma said they are also inspecting the tubes.
We were surprised when its lid suddenly moved and white smoke came out of it. I was surprised when Seth suddenly covered my nose and mouth with his hand, after a few seconds the smoke disappeared and it slowly opened
"Stay away!" Zendaya said, she is still covering her half-face, they followed
As it continued to open, we were exposed to a man lying down with a tube attached to his nose and mouth I think it's a ventilator that served as an air supply, but what caught my attention more was what in his head
"Nerve gear.." I murmured
We would have been closer to that man but the security alarm suddenly sounded and the lights become red
"We need to leave!" Lucas said but a cloud of smoke came out that gradually spread in the room, I immediately covered my nose
I noticed their gradual collapse sign that they had lost consciousness, I held my breath and run towards Zendaya who was currently trying to stay awake but soon after, she also lost consciousness. Fortunately, I had a swimming lesson before that's why I can hold my breath longer. I heard footsteps outside so I lay down and pretended to lose consciousness as well, the smoke was gone and I heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps approaching where we are.
"There were rats inside the cage of my pet birds" I heard a man's voice
What does he call us? Rats? Seems like I want to get up and punch him in his face
"How did they get here? Where are you and did you not notice them?" He asked maybe he is talking to the guard that in charge here
"Forgive us your majesty we did not notice that they entered" The fright could be seen in the voice of the man who answered
"Do you know that I hate the word forgiveness the most? There is no room for me to mistakes"
"Please give mercy your majesty, promise it will never happen again—" He never finished what he was saying when suddenly a series of gunshots rang out around, and it followed by the sound of falling people on the ground
"What are we going to do with those kids?" I heard Violet voice I've doubted her since the beginning
"Are we going to kill them too?" I heard another voice coming from a woman
"No, when we do that it is as if we have to kill ourselves as well. The Zoldyck and Katz is powerful when we hurt the heir I am sure they will come back to us, like what Allen did a years ago" The man answered
"Then what are we gonna do to these brats? I think they already know" Violet said I could hear the heel of Violet's shoe towards my place
"Take them outside, let them go, and clean this place," The man said again in authority
"She looks like Allen doesn't her?" I heard Violet again while she touches my face
"You are right and they will end the same" The heard the man laugh
I felt someone lift me and after several minutes I felt cold air touching my skin I think we're out of the building. Later I felt I was laid on the grass, I remained motionless. I waited for a while to make sure they were gone and then I got up, I saw Seth also lying on the grass.
They took us to the garden, a good thing that Seth's family is powerful that's why they didn't hurt us. I approached them and I woke them up one by one
"Argh! My head hurts" Alma said when they woke up
"Mine too where are we?" Judith said
"We are in the garden, good thing they didn't hurt us," I told them what happened earlier when they lost consciousness
"Now I hate sleeping gas, my head hurts a lot," Zendaya said she still lying in the grass
"Remind me to enroll in swimming class next time," Lucas said I just raised my eyebrow at him which made him slightly laugh
"What are we going to do now? Will we complain to the authority?" Wilson asked
"That's a bad idea when we do that there are two possibilities to happen; first when we complain they may not believe us, second they might kill us this time," Zendaya said, I agree to her it wouldn't be good for us to report and that man seemed to know that we weren't going to report because we know what will happen to us when we do that.
I can say that 'man' is a freaking genius
