Chapter 4 - The Radiation Bust

"He is the man who smells dark matter...!". "What?... he can smell dark matter?", Natasha interrupted in an amused voice. "But...". "I am feeling so hungry, Williams", the clone interrupted. "Yes, everything is ready. You can start the radiator." The clone climbed downstairs to the lab. Natasha follows him. Williams pulled her hands and asked "Where are you going?" "To lab, he is gonna get radiated!!" "The radiation is not good for us! We have to be here. Let's have our lunch", Williams said. "But why does he wanna get radiated? Why he can't eat food like us? How you retrieved his consciousness?", Natasha questioned him. "You will understand it in time, Natasha. I can't give you more shock on the same day.", Williams consoled her.

"Shall we eat?", Williams looked at Natasha. Natasha nodded. Their lunch is a pure Indian Dal makhani and roti covered with melted butter. "We are going to visit a place tomorrow. Get your things ready", the clone announced.

The night approached gradually as the clone is advising his daughter about her health. Natasha slept on the clone's lap. He made to sleep on the bed. Besides Natasha, Williams is also sleeping on the bed. The clone lay down in the mid of these two grown-up children. Suddenly, the clone woke up. It was the worst nightmare. He checked his phone, it showed him 3:00 AM. He couldn't sleep any further.

He stepped out of the room like a Cat. He started to search for something in Arjun's room. He retrieved some pieces of newspapers and documents which were 5 years old. He was seeing old news as new ones.

The newspaper pieces' headlines are " A radiation bust in Sriharikota", "10 people died out of radiation. More than 30 people including ISRO director Arjun Patil were radiated" and "ISRO Director Arjun Patil resigned from his position".
