          In a black night city as the wind gusts, a street light illuminated a man, revealing only his silhouette. The man entered a building and headed for the elevator. He pressed the up button, the lift opened, and the man entered. He pressed another button, and the lift closed. The lift then ascended and stopped at the top floor of the building. The man stepped out of the lift and strode towards an office. As he arrived at the office, he opened the door and entered. The office was dark without any light source. The only illumination available was coming from a big window. Another man was seated on a chair and facing the window with his back turned to the man that had just entered.
 
          "What took you so long?" The man on the chair asked as he glanced at his watch.

           "Sorry, boss, there were some complications on the way." The man that entered replied. The man who apologized was shown by the light from the window. He wore a brown suit with a red tie, glasses, and long brown hair that reached his neck. He was holding a suitcase.

           "Do you have the file, Dr. Dorgan?" Said the boss, who was sitting. "Yes, Boss, here it is." Dr. Dorgan replied.

      Dr Dorgan then extracted a file from the suitcase and placed it on the boss's table. The boss then swivelled his chair around to face Dr. Dorgan, he had a small moustache, was wearing a grey suit with a black tie, and was bald, he took the file and smirked, "Excellent," he said.

          "Boss?" Dr. Dorgan said with a blank expression. "What?" Boss was annoyed as he scrutinised the file. "There is a small problem." Dr Dorgan implied."What is it?" Boss said, still examining the file.

        "One of the children has escaped." Dr. Dorgan said.

        "WHAT!!!" Boss exclaimed as he stood up in anger and shock. "How? And you are telling me this now!!!" Boss exclaimed.

         "Don't worry, sir, we have alerted the search team. They are looking for the child." Dr. Dorgan said with a blank expression in a reassuring voice.

        "Well, they better,' 'cause if we lose any child, the CEO will cut off our heads." The boss said angrily at Dorgan as he went to him.

        "Don't worry,  sir, we will have her." The doctor assured him with an expressionless face.

        "You better do," Boss said as he went back to his seat and sat down. "Who is the child?" Boss asked as he continued going through the file.

          Dorgan then slides a paper that has the child's info. Boss took the paper and scanned through it,  "Lisa Borten," he said as he saw the picture of the child. She had long and little curly blonde hair and blue eyes. "Age 12, mutant........ What!!!! The pink alien???" Boss read.

       "We are not quite yet sure sir, but her powers are to turn into this pink creature and we have to do experiments on her to see if it will affect her, unfortunately, she escaped and we couldn't complete the experiment." Dr. Dorgan explained.

        "Let me tell you this, Dorgan, if you don't find her, I will make sure that I replace you for the experiment," Boss said with rage.

        But Dr. Dorgan, with a positive voice and with an expressionless face, says, "I can assure you, sir, we will find her."You better, now get out," Boss said as he pointed towards the door.

         Dr Dorgan left without a word, went down the lift, exited the building, and entered a black car. The man in the driver's seat asked, "What did the boss say?"

        "I have given him the files, and of course, he wants to get the girl back." Dr. Dorgan said.

        "Yeah, about that, we might have some traces of the girl as to where she could have gone." The man in the other seat said.
