After 20 minutes of driving, Ethan gets to his destination. He stops his bike in the 5 min proximity of the lab and somewhere.

Ethan parks and gets off the bike. He then takes his helmet off and puts in the bike.

"Chelly, keep an eye on the bike"

"As you wish"

As Ethan started to walk away, the bike went invisible; completely gone from the human eye.

After a bit of walking Ethan makes his way to the back door via a keycard of the lab and enters.

He finds himself in a long hallway with digital signs attached to the roof for better navigation.

Ethan finds the sign labeled "Locker room" and follows the path.

After finding the locker room and entering, he goes to his locker.

There aren't many other lockers there, since this is supposed to be a special project Luq didn't want a lot of people to help him in creating this "ring".

Ethan gets to his locker, with his name displayed above the locker.

He enters his password via the number pad on the locker and the door opens. It's a simple locker; no sticky notes, no pictures, only some books and notebooks with a white science coat under and a pair of glasses.

Ethan takes off his Black and red jacket and hangs it in the locker; instead, he grabs his white lab coat.

As he wore his glasses and closed the door, he spots a familiar face standing in the corridor arms crossed . A girl is standing there, with short blond hair wearing a blue shirt under her lab coat

"Hey Nat, here to remind of something again?" a smirk comes on Ethan's face

"Yap, I want the chocolate bars you promised. After all, you were gonna be late again sleepy head"

Ethan sighs in defeat "Alright, a deal is a deal. I have already some in the fridge. You can take them"

Wattson's eyes lighten up

Ethan takes notice of this, he slowly makes his to Wattson and asks with a smirk on his tired face

"Remind me again on how old you are?"

Wattson responds with an annoyed tone "Hey, I can eat candies whenever I want"

Ethan finding this cute and lets out a small chuckle

"Alright alright, let's get moving. You don't wanna keep Luq waiting now do you?"

They start walking in the hallway

"So Nat, anything new?" 

"Not really, aside from working on the ring nothing special. Talking about the ring, we did some testing on the plan you mentioned, it didn't work all the time and didn't fail all the time either, But I think we might onto something"

"That's good to hear, how is Luq?"

"You know papa always keeps himself busy especially nowadays he's working even more than usual."

"But it doesn't seem like he is the only one working" he looks at Wattson while saying that

"Yeah, I try to help him as much I can. He doesn't rest at all during the day, he only sometimes listens to me and occasionally take breaks."

"That's Luq for you, goes on until he finishes what he started." Ethan looks down tiredly

Wattson punches him on his shoulder lightly "Come on sleepyhead, you can't be sleeping now"
