Elvis had already explained enough, and he was also irritated at the way he used Cole as a case study. He was human, not some test toy that Elvis seemed him to be. Jason took three long steps back and sat on a chair. "You should be able to get that to us at least, you work there,"
"It's not an easy task,"
"Then make it easy."
"Not just anyone has access to the store where it is preserved. So I can't ---"
Not letting Elvis finish, Jason spoke up again, "But you are not just anyone,"
"The fact that you are part of the few that knew where we were kept, we know you know," Williams finished.
"Definitely, I know. The problem is, we don't let it into the hands of any random individual, it's a secret formula as to how our product has a long-lasting life span. Any other tech companies envying us in that aspect would be willing to spend any amount to get a hold of just 10 ml of it. What's even more? At the black market, it goes for two hundred thousand dollars or more."
"SO, you're saying the security around it would be too damn tight huh?"
"Yes, I can't do it alone,"
"Well, you want to prove to us that you can be trusted. Are you not willing to get to any height to accomplish that?" Williams questioned.
"You're not telling me to do something so risky, my life would be over the moment I'm caught"
"Well, babe, there's no test that is a piece of cake," Olivia spoke up. "At least, you should do this or me, if anything,"
"But…" Elvis could not disagree now that the woman he loved contributed. "Okay, but could I at least borrow that shape-shifting lady's power? It would be damn useful."
"Definitely not." Jason turned him down. "Telling us to risk it after seeing this? No. For all we know, you could return Lily to the lab,"
"How do you want me to get it done?"
"Well, figured out that part,"
Elvis took a look at Olivia, and he could see her anger. Why she looked at him that way, he wasn't sure. He turned and took a look at Lily, whose gaze was fixed on Olivia's face.
"Okay, I will try. I hope this kid stays fine before I can bring one,"
"No, he's not waiting, you're the one with the time limit. If he dies before you get back, you'd be killed the moment you step another foot in here, at least if what you estimated was true," Jason said.
"Okay, Guys, apart from this, we should plan how we will get on living in this hell hole. How we'd eat, and sleep, we're not animals."
Just as Williams said that, the rest of them turned their gaze to Elvis.
"What?!" Elvis complained.
"Are you even expecting us to step outside? With what money? Or with what identity?" Jason gave him an answer, and even as the disagreement showed on Elvis's face, he stood up, dropped his cell phone, and walked out. That was enough to assure them that he'll be back.

[THE NEXT DAY]
"' We can understand that they probably were mentally deranged people, their appearance said a lot, but, do you all reason with me?'" One of five presenters sitting around a large table said. The table had five tags at the front of each of the presenters, showing the names of each of them. The one who just spoke was Lia Cora, the co-anchor of the show.
"' Well, The news reporters may have been right, saying that and all, but I personally think they are missing one part. How did they even get in?!" Zoey Jackson, the owner of the television program, 'I want to know more' emphasized. She turned to look at the screen behind her and played a video. "This CCTV footage that was given to us by those reporters can show them rushing out into that vehicle, but why don't we see the part where they all barged into that building?"
"' From my point of view, I believe they had it all planned---'" Before Nora Holmes could complete her statement, Zoey interrupted her.
"' Planned what? That they were going in there without dresses? And they were not even reported before they got there? It makes no sense to me. One of the opinions of one of these chirper influencers said they probably didn't see the need to show the clip of the five getting into the company, but doesn't that even seem funnier?'"
"' Please, Mrs. Zoey, what exactly may you be trying to insinuate? They probably had a scene in there that may have led to their nudeness, and, what if they posed to be visitors and went in at different times, in disguise?'" Nora wanted a comeback. As the guest among them, she didn't want to seem like a loser.
'" Exactly! That there is my point!! What's that incident that may have occurred in there that would have led to that sight that traumatized the guests they had?! There were kids In there for crying out loud!"' Acting as if she pointed toward the organization, she argued.
"' That's exactly why we will need to question the six of them when they get arrested,'"
"' But, the company can just release a statement of what happened, their stocks are plummeting,'"
"' Let's all relax, we all want to know more of what happened, but it seems even the people in there are not willing to say a thing. Why?'"
'" Well, they have already taken a great loss, they may be wanting to keep it low,"' That was the best explanation Nora could give.
'" We will be back after a commercial break, let's stay tuned in I want to know more, as we continue to explore that mystery."' Nora said. The three in the room all seemed to force out a smile in front of the camera while Nora spoke, as they always did.

Back in a room having a large table, Gregory Mason turned off the TV program, the annoyance written all over his loud as usual. He turned around to face eight individuals sitting around the table. He flung the remote to the table before he started his speech.
