Collecting everything so as not to leave any evidence was the goal. But the goal was limited to two hours. They have to leave the underground laboratories and vacate before the agents reach them. It is either them or the agents but they were no match to the agents for they were just mere scientists they didn't know anything else except dealing with scalpels and chemicals.
They have been operating for 30 years and no one ever managed to identify any of the work they have been doing. How did the agents manage to find their underground laboratory? It is given there is a spy among them and after escaping this tragedy they will have to deal with that and uproot this bleaching person.
"Monie the agents have reached the main gate "
Doctor Two called Dr. Monie Era with panic and a sense of loss in his voice, forgetting they were not to call each other by name in the laboratory, that was the rule for the past 30 years. For Dr. Two to call Dr. Monie Era by her first name he was lost in the scenario in a panic.
"Remember all remaining human samples should be destroyed we don't have a minute to spare, we are leaving only with the developed samples that stand useful, the ones that can survive. And mind the way you address me Dr two"
"But all these are human beings Dr.!" exclaimed Dr. Two
" Yeah, but some are comatose patients, and others are unidentified and missing cases so they are as good as dead " coldly answered Dr. Monie Era, a woman in her late fifties.
She was only 23 years old when she proposed her experiment and did not expect it to pass the board and be put into action. For more than 30 years they have been working on it and have managed to only accomplish two cases. The one they are developing now and the other that they managed to accomplish 4 years after establishing the underground laboratory. Unfortunately, this case has always been a forbidden topic in the lab.
This was the door to many sorrowful moments as the kid was kidnapped in the nursery that day and announced dead to her parents.
The mother later died out of stress and depression while driving. She couldn't take the fact she lost her only chance of being called a mother.
.......

9:30 PM
"Nany am home....."
"Why do you shout every time you get home you lass? " she said while widely smiling at the girl calling for her
" I am announcing to the whole Igoma neighborhood that I am here and nobody can bull you, hahahahahahah "
"Asante you are something, with or without you at home nobody dares to bully me"... "They respect me as much as think it's impossible to imagine haha "
They were always happy while conversing. Their house was full of laughter and joy whenever they were together and quieter when Asante was back to school.
"I would love to chat more, but it is late I have to sleep and have a library discussion with the girls "
"Go ahead, Good night my dear girl "
" Good night Nany "
While Asante was leaving, Nany looked at her with keen eyes of gratitude, only she and Madam knew where Asante came from and why she had no parents.
"I did a great job raising her, she is fine, pure, beautiful, and intelligent just as her mother was. I wonder if her father is still alive after two attempts of unliving himself. He will be proud of his little princess, but then he has no idea she lives or tragedy will begin again"
She got up went to the kitchen dried the f
Dishes before she retired to her bedroom.

6:30 Am
"Good morning Nany, Did someone come yesterday? I heard you talking before I closed my eyes to sleep"
"What did you hear?!"
"Nothing much, I couldn't make a sentence but only that you were talking "
"Nobody came dear, I was just muttering to myself. Old age habits haha"
She said while thinking about the consequences if her conversation was heard by Asante.
After breakfast, Asante left for the library. She went directly to the bus stop where she had to board the bus proceeding to town.
The bus stop was outside THE HEIP FAMILY GROUP OF COMPANIES (THEFAGRO). This was just one of their numerous tributary.
Famous for their experiences in Computer Science and Engineering, No Other Label was as trusted as theirs.
Asante passed the buildings of THEFAGRO admiring what was being done inside as she was lost in her gaze, someone bumped into her.
" Little girl watch where you are going, Stop wondering as if you have nothing to do " This person was harsh in her tone while addressing her.
"I am sorry madam "
"Next time you should be keen, This is a business joint and people are busy making their meet-end. Get lost "
She then leans to take a look at the girl, one look at the girl her whole being turned pale. This girl was a nightmare she had been praying not to face up till she left this world.
When she regained her posture the girl was long gone, she didn't see in which direction she had vanished. She took her phone and called one person whose number was not saved.
"It's long since we talked, How is South Africa treating you?"
" Am fine madam, It's been a long time "
"Talk, what happened to that little girl?"
"Dead madam, I threw her in the hospital dumping pit after the experiment failed"
"Are you sure!?"
" Yes, the hospital dumping pit madam. With all the chemicals and medicine it didn't take long for it to die, I made sure of it madam"
"Well then enjoy your stay in South Africa with your family "
She hung up the phone walked straight to her car and got inside.
Asante left in shivers at how scary that woman was.
"Hello!"
The madam picked up her phone after a couple of rings, she always had a habit of picking up after the third ring of her phone.
