    We just made here in our room. It was fun last night. Brix continued taking pictures of the night sky, while Andrei, Eldon and I were watching the horizon.

    "Maybe we should try that again, someday" said Eldon

   "Yeah. Brix, I didn't expect that your work is as adventurous as what happened yesterday" said Andrei

   "Thanks for the good thoughts" said Brix

   "You're welcome" replied Eldon.

   Andrei turned on the television.

   "Oh! It's the news" said Andrei

On screen:
    
    "The reactions of the public were divided. Some approve Justin, while others are not" said the reporter

   "Stop the Ice Age! Make the sun larger!" said the protesters

   "There is only one thing that the people are fighting for, they want Justin Adamson to use his invention to stop the coming Ice Age. But still, many are not agree with him" said the reporter

    Andrei turned off the TV.

    We are shocked on what we've just watched.

    "We are not here just for a day, and I don't know what's happening now" said Andrei

    I look at Eldon. He's doing something on his mobile watch.

    "I found it! This were happened yesterday" said Eldon

    "What's with it?" I asked

    "Read this, Nathan" said Eldon

    I look at his mobile watch and see an article.

On hologram:
     October 22, 1HD

     An American scientist named Justin Adamson revealed what might happen in near future. He said that the planet is about to face the Ice Age, where the planet would be covered by ice

   He has invented a machine that might stop the coming threat, yet the world leaders didn't approve it. He called it 'The Enlarger'

   He is planning to enlarge the red dwarf sun named Apollo to become as large as Sol, which is the closest sun to Earth in the Solar System. So, it will give enough heat to melt down the ice.

    "What's with it Nathan?" asked Andrei

    "It's about Justin. He revealed something about Ice Age things" I said

    "He might be jailed because of revealing something confidential" I said

    "But if the public discovered that the government is hiding it as a secret, they might protest and fight against the government" said Andrei

   "We have no choice. Justin can't be jailed" said  Eldon

   "What are we going to do?" I asked

   "We have to make a plan to stop Justin" said Andrei

   "What if, we destroy his invention secretly?" suggested Eldon

   "That's gonna be so hard" said Brix

   "Brix is right. Maybe there are some other plans" said Andrei

   "Why don't we try to spy him?" said Eldon

   Eldon, full of ideas.

   "It can be considered, but who will be the spy?" asked Andrei

   "We have to make a plan on how to spy him, first" I said

   "The only thing that came to my mind is befriend Justin" said Andrei

   "Befriend him?" said Eldon

   "Yes. If we befriended him, he will trust us, then he will tell us all of his plan" said Andrei

   "His only plan is to enlarge the sun, right?" I asked

  "Maybe, but we don't know where and when he will do his plan" said Andrei

  "You mean... We will befriend him and then after getting his trust, we will trick him? That hurts" I said

   "We have no choice, Nathan. We should stand by our feet. World leaders might be forced to approve Justin by the public, so there are no other people that will help us but ourselves" said Andrei

   "Then who will be the spy?" asked Eldon

   "He should be the one who hasn't met Justin" said Andrei

   "Justin knows all of us here" said Brix

   We keep in silence. I think everyone is thinking deeply.

   "Nathan..." said Andrei

   "What?" I said

   "Come and join me" said Andrei

   "Where?" I said

   "Trust me" said Andrei

    Andrei went to his room and packed up. He brought a back pack

   "What's inside of that?" I asked

   "Some clothes. Why didn't you get yours?" said Andrei

   "Why do I need to pack my clothes?" I asked

   "Just pack some of your clothes, don't bring too much" said he

   Okay. I went to my bedroom and got my backpack. I put some of my clothes inside, and went back to Andrei

   "Hey. Where are you two going?" asked Eldon

   "Going back home" said Andrei

   "For what?" asked Eldon

   "Secret" said Andrei

   "Hey! Can we join?" asked Eldon

   "Of course not" said Andrei

   Before Eldon finished what he was going to say, Andrei grabbed me out of the room.

   "Where are we going?" I asked

   "To the Philippine Region" said Andrei
