"Ma'am, the sample is ready, the boxes have just arrived."
"That's great, make sure everything's stored into the room safely and in place," Regina replied.
"Ma'am, you still haven't told us how we're going to do the experiments." Regina ignored Carrie's question and continued to work on the computer. Carrie waited for a few seconds till she repeated her question again louder.
"Once you're done with the boxes, lock the doors and hang the keys in the security's room and then you can go home. Your reporting time for tomorrow is 4am, you'd need to get some good sleep." Carrie was not satisfied with Regina's reply. She said nothing but walked out of the room.
When the boxes were all in place, Carrie locked the doors and hung the key in the security's room as instructed before she walked into the parking lot giving Regina one last glance as she walked. When Regina saw Carrie walk away and later heard the engine starting and the engine sound getting faint and away. A few more minutes and Regina shut down the system and sat back in her chair. She had summoned all her bravery to do what she has decided to do, she knew it wouldn't be the best decision but she had to do it. She had been making plans, ever since the blue print was spread on the table before, she was had begun developing her screenplay. She didn't care about what outsiders might think, her confidence was doubled when Inspector Vivek got her the permission. She was all set and ready for everything that lay ahead, she had to keep her vow she had made ten years.
***********************************************************************************************
Carrie walked into the office through the front door itself which was wide open, it was usually her who unlocked the door at 6 and set the whole building running by the time the other joined her before 6:30, but today she was not late, but someone arrived earlier than her. The clock showed the time as 4:03 and so she wondered who came early. She walked into Regina's room and to her surprise, Regina was sipping on some coffee in the room. She noticed that Regina was still wearing the clothes from yesterday, so then Regina hadn't gone home yesterday. When her presence was finally recognized, Regina walked stood and walked up to her;
"I'm going home, just make sure all the boxes are loaded back into the new truck that'll arrive in an hour. I'll be back by 6, in the mean time, Vivek will come over to help with stuff, just tell him what and where. Don't break any sample bottles." Not waiting for a reply, Regina just walked out, dragging up her handbag to her shoulder after taking the keys out of it. After Regina left, Carrie got herself busy with giving life to the whole building. She opened the store, the back door and got all the necessary things to start working.
It was after half past five that the so said truck pulled outside the back door, the driver stayed while someone got down the passenger side and walked over into the building, when he turned around the corner and walked into Carrie, he introduced himself as Vivek, Regina pointed to the store, Vivek walked over to the store and opened the door wide and signaled the driver to start work. Carrie got clues about the disclosed plan, Vivek unmistakably was identified as a police officer by his khaki pants and the police shoes. Not everything was straight, but Carrie got clues as to what is going on, what the plan and the master motive and intention is ultimately.
