Makoto, Holly, and Sarah had confused faces on them. From the other side of the room. A security gaurd was coming towards them. Makoto noticed him.
MAKOTO: !!
Makoto grabbed Holly's arm and speedwalked away. Holly was confused but rolled with it. Sarah was left behind with the guard. Makoto left go of Holly when they got out there.
HOLLY: Makoto...
MAKOTO: I'll explain later.
Makoto and Holly walked on and found Joey and Lyla. Infront of Joey and Lyla against the wall was a piece of stone that stretched out to the roof. On the stone, was a bunch of numbers.
"0920 230119, 12151407, 09 041514'20 1805130513020518 13210308. 022120 1325 060120080518 20151204 1305 1506 200805. 1920181825 1506 081523."
Suddenly, Makoto's and Lyla's heads started hurting and they started grunting. Didn't take long for Holly and Joey to notice.
JOEY: Y'all good?
Everyone was so confused. Makoto looked up to the stone.
MAKOTO: What is with that stone?
LYLA: No way... it can't be...
JOEY: What?
Makoto's and Lyla's heads stopped moving.
JOEY: What the hell is that stone?
Lyla gasped, jaw wide open.
LYLA: It is!
JOEY: Lyla, its what?!
Makoto and Holly walked back a few feet.
LYLA: Its Corchican. I can't speak it well, but I can understand some of it.
JOEY: What the hell is Corchian?
LYLA: It's an old language, but it doesn't exist anymore. My mom studied it when she was young.
Makoto looked at the stone with a serious look.
MAKOTO: Lyla, what does it say?
Lyla read the stone, carefully and deliberately.
LYLA: Myself don't remembered highly... prevent it were long ago...?
The other three had confused faces. Lyla had a disappointed expression on her face.
LYLA: I'm sorry, I'm very bad at reading it.
JOEY: No no no Lyla it's alright.
Joey stood right next to Layla.
JOEY: At first we thought it was just a bunch of gibberish or weird stuff that artists do. But because of you, we know that this means something.
Joey patted on Lyla's shoulder and smiled. Lyla smiled too.
MAKOTO: Holly, what were you going to talk about earlier?
Suddenly, the same security guard from earlier came. He spotted Makoto and Joey.
SECURITY GUARD: You!
JOEY: Bro it was just a prank! We didn't mean it like that!
MAKOTO: Officer! ...
SECURITY GUARD: Your teacher told me to tell you all that its time to head back to your bus.
The security guard walked away.
Everyone was surprised, confused, and relieved at the same time.
JOEY: We were here way longer than we thought.
HOLLY: So it's time to head back huh?
Everyone started walking back to the bus.
MAKOTO: Holly, tell me, what you were going to say.
