"I Don't know this boy."
Everyone's eyes widened and Leon snapped out of his depressed daze state and started to divert his focus to the conversation staring straight at Maria with a confused look
"She doesn't remember me?"
"What the fuck, Bitch you treated me!"
~~~~~~~~~
"You are saying He doesn't have any records? that's Impossible! Every Human living in the cocoon has their Biometrics registered in the system" Hugo (the president) replied to which Lana ( the chief) pointed out "then It shortens the differential possibilities of this murder" she stares at Leon's pale face 'have I seen him somewhere?...' She ponders and continues her point.
"Scenario 1 and the most likely cause is that this is an Inside job, someone who has access to the system and this dead body may be a newly joined private judging from the looks of it, so it is highly possible that this is an external vendetta which has taken place inside this facility.
scenario 2 and Highly unlikely situation: He is a hidden contact with the higher-ups…, meaning that this is a political move and similar to scenario 1, and the execution supports scenario 1 which means, someone from the Inside got paid off to do this, compromising my position and the dignity of this base.
And third and the scenario that I pray that it isn't true… he is not from the cocoon and he has somehow entered and got himself killed. this scenario compromises the base's security...no, rather the whole cocoon's security and it would mean code red and black... meaning there is an unknown breach into the cocoon" she takes a puff and fumes it out and continues
"I will deal with regarding the breach and start investigating in the base So, President, I'll leave the investigation part regarding the system data in your hands since those are essentially government data".
Hugo rolls his eyes and was about to argue with that comment but was interrupted by the sounds of the door opening and the conversation stopped as they look at the door.
A team of 4 enters wearing protective medical gear walk in and comes to take the body in a mortuary trolley.
"I'll head to the forensics and find out what I can" Maria informs them as she does a salute to Lana and Hugo and takes her leave with the crew.
Meanwhile, Leon who was listening to this conversation Hovered closer to listen more clearly and got startled when the room suddenly turned quiet and the door opened, a crew of people walked in and removed the straps, and start to lift his body and move it to the trolley.
"Oi OI OI! Listen here you! Where are you taking my body!" he stood behind one of the workers and spread his hands and legs wide in an attempt to stop them but after shifting his corpse onto the trolley they turned around and pushed the trolley right through his ghost body.
….'So I really am a ghost now huh…' he sighs inwardly as he clicked his tongue and sees Maria salute and go along with the workers pushing the trolley.
She goes to the cabinet and grabs a big white blanket and covers up my body and then exits the room.
Leon takes a quick glance at the clock and understood why she did that. It was close to 6:00 and the rest of the batch would be coming back from the morning run.
'At least no one can see me like this' he consoles himself as he is reminded again that his ghost form right now is nothing but him wearing boxers. He decides to follow Maria and exits the room.
After everyone left the room, Hugo scratches his beard as Lana taps the smoked-up ash of her cigar into the ashtray.
"First off, don't command me like that in front of someone else, Ever again." Hugo says In a domineering tone as his blue eyes glowed for a bit and he leaves.
'To see a dead body first thing in the morning tch…' then he runs around and looks at Lana and says
"Still, Even if that kid was from outside the cocoon in the worst case, There is a dead body in your Unit and you will be held accountable, I'd be worried If I were you".
"That's the difference between you and me Hugo, I'll Handle it". Lana said a stern gaze as If looking down on him.
"tch ..Don't make me say I told you so later on, See ya!". He clicked his tongue and exits the room and coughs a little." she should really stop smoking damn it" he comments as he clears his throat and walks down the corridor.
Lana sighs and puffs a smoke Hoop into the air.
'Where have I seen that face…'
