He had no time to relax because as soon as he wanted to sit down, Professor Maclaren came back. Seeing the sample in the machine she nodded acknowledging Noah's hard work. Then she went to the other machine with the input mixture from Noah and saw that she was right.
That kid before her mixed one of the most dangerous things on earth, he was talented enough to be part of the research against the zombie virus, "Wonderful seems like we have a new talent on our hands. And you figured out how to work the machine too. Well then, you are probably tired. You can take the elevator to floor 3, there are all the sleeping quarters. Tomorrow at 11 am sharp, I am giving you more time to relax. But don't think this is going to be a regular thing. After tomorrow you will be here at 8 am understood?"
Noah nodded, "Yes, Professor. Until tomorrow." And walked outside and to the elevator.Inside the elevator he realized he did not have an ID card, maybe you only need ID when on the first floor? Noah wanted to try it out and so he pressed floor 3. The doors closed and he went up. With this his theory was proven right, the elevator stopped and the doors opened. The structure of the hallway was almost the same as on the laboratory floor. The difference was that this floor was lively, whereas the floor of the laboratory was silent and very deserted. This floor had people where the eye could see, it was moderately loud and the white walls were filled with pictures and posters.
Not knowing where to go, he heard the voice of Mr. Murray, "Listen, folks, there will be a clear line you will have to follow. Tomorrow you all will be tested. The test will entail four things, first is if you are an ability user or not, second is the overall fitness, third is any extra knowledge you can bring and last is who you are as a person. Don't worry no one has ever come behind the person question. We will know who you are inside. And it's the micro expressions and gestures we will observe."As he finished speaking, Noah stood behind Maison. Mr. Murray noticed him and beckoned him with his arm to come closer to him. He walked up from behind Maison and stood in front of Mr. Murray. "How did it go?" He asked, his voice full of authority.
Noah nodded shyly, "Professor Maclaren told me to be there at 11 am sharp."
Mr. Murray nodded, "Well then you will get eight hours of sleep, and then you will take the elevator to floor 4. All of you will be going there, Noah you will then be tested first to assure that you are still on time. Now, Maison and Jason, you both come with me the others go to your quarters."
Like in the military a "Yes, sir!", echoed through the hall. Then the three walked away.
Ben and Zenis both breathed out loudly, and then Zenix said to Ben, "Dude, any longer I fear I would have suffocated."
Ben nodded, "Any more and I would have had a panic attack. The presence, it was the presence." Then they both looked at Noah."You can honestly be happy, you weren't here. The atmosphere was so low and almost oppressive," Ben said as he heaved an arm around Noah's shoulders.
Zenix nodded, "Don't worry though your room is in ours. Finally a real bed, not just a matrice. However, if I can sleep is another thing. But you don't seem to have that problem do you, not even moments after Zeana was shot you drifted toward dreamland. And now with Mr. Waltermoor dead..." Zenix first chuckled as he looked at Noah, but then had a heavy look on his face. Noah looked awkward as Ben and Zenix, showed him to their room. It was a hexagon-shaped room, as they walked through the door, immediately to the left there was another door, probably leading to the bathroom. On the end of the room stood a bed, on the left and the right of the bed stood two more beds. Walking further in the room, on the left side was also a closet. Noah opened the closet while Ben and Zenix just jumped on a bed. They chose beds that were next to each other, Ben chose the right bed, and Zenix the one that was kind of in the middle. Noah found gray folded clothes in the closet, he closed it and walked toward the bathroom door.While going to the bathroom, he closed the door to their whole room too. In the bathroom, he found a toilet, a shower, and things like shampoo, toothbrushes, and deodorant. And everything was in this white metallic style, just like the room where the beds were. Only the bedsheets were a light gray, the rest was white. He walked back and laid down on the only bed left, but before dosing off. Noah motivated himself to stand up one more time, shower, brush his teeth, put on the gray T-shirt and pants he found, and then sleep. Getting some hygiene going, after a day of zombies and blood. Freshly showered and with new clothes, he fell in the bed. Dosing off, he didn't notice how the two boys did the same thing and then turned off the light.
