The Wife Project By Professor Alexandria Woods

Fly Me to The Sky Part 1

This is part 1 of their adventure to Ark City!
The part when Lexa was still stupidly oblivious about Clarke's intention while she still works hard to get the DNA samples.
(It's so obvious that oblivious is the main dish of Professor Alexandria.)

Enjoy! Dont forget to stay tune for the 2nd part!
Cheers!

*********************************************************************

There was a phone number listed for an R. Gillmer in Arkadia Institute. The man who answered the phone told me that Dr. Gillmer, Sr. whose name was confusingly the same as Shawn Gillmer had died many years ago, leaving behind his widowed wife, Rebecca Gillmer. And that she had been admitted to the Arkadia Institute when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease for the past 2 years. This is great news!

I could have asked Clarke to go with me, but she had already agreed to the Ark City visit and I did not want to create an opportunity for a social error that might jeopardise the trip. I knew with my experience with Titus, it is easier to collect DNA sample from a person suffering with Alzheimer's disease. I hired a car and packed my DNA sample kit - swabs, cheek-scrapers, zip-lock bags and tweezers. I also took my previous university business card before I was promoted with my current position. Doctor Alexandria Woods receives superior service in medical facilities.

Arkadia is one thousand two hundred and seventy kilometers from Polis. I collected Raven's car at 4.07pm, right after my last lecture on Friday afternoon.

"Where are you going?" Raven asked.

I read on an article on a Psychology Magazine... Or was it a Teenage Magazine? I have to ask Raven about that. That when someone tries to get information out of you, act 'dumbly'.

I shrugged and immediately checked on the side mirrors to ensure the safety hazard of the vehicle - I do not want another Clarke's Beetle Incident.

"What?" Raven shrugs, seemingly copying me with a bizarre expression. "What- Was that?" Shrugging again. "You're not telling me?"

"Yes." Good! Side mirrors still intact and there's two of them! Excellent.

"Okay, wait wait," Raven blocked the driver's seat and looks at me. "You're gonna borrow my car for 2 days and not tell me where the hell you're going?"

"Yes." I do not know why do I have to repeat my answer repetitively.

"Lexa, where. Are. You. Going?"

"I'm going on a project trip to Arkadia."

"Project trip? Arkadia?! Lexa, that's 15 hours drive and you're going alone? Are you out of your mind?!"

"No, Raven. I am perfectly normal. My mother got me tested."

"Ha-ha. Very funny," She was rolling her eyes again. I figured this was her habit now. Something I've learned from Clarke as well. "Stop quoting Sheldon Cooper!"

"I don't know who is that man. And I am telling you the truth. 8th Grade, mother brought me to Dr. Jackson's office and got me tested. She doesn't believe that her daughter is crazy and abnormal just like what our neighbours had said. And the result came positive. I am a genius."

Raven rolled her eyes again. "No, I am a genius and you, my friend is a weirdo."

I do not wish to spend my precious time standing around and repeating myself and stating the obvious facts when I could be on the road and on my way collecting my DNA sample.

"I have to go, Raven."

Raven stepped aside and I sat down on the driver's seat.

"Lexa, please be careful. Whatever you're trying to do that you don't wanna tell me just- just be careful. And please, return my baby unscathed."
