"Stay here.", Oxford told Ray to wait in the hallway before he enters a glass room, it is filled with books, documents and ancients objects and it is also occupied by six people at the time when Oxford walked in.
"What can we do for you Oxford?", one of the six men greeted him.
Oxford showed the man the unknown small glass memory card clearly in his view. He gave it to the man and then the man walked to the group to show it to them. Oxford looked back behind him just to check on Ray if he is still there. He is still there, his hands are in his pockets, waiting. Oxford approached Ray from behind and tapped the glass near his head. Ray responded by looking at him. Oxford signaled him to join him the PGP.
"This may take a while... in case you get bored, you can look around, but do not touch anything, especially the artifacts.", said Oxford to Ray.
Ray nodded at him while he tried to look for a seat, later he found none, but he found a section where there are steel bookshelves, filled with thick hardbound books. He glanced at Oxford, who was talking to one of the men before he left his view and in to the countless numbers of bookshelves. He scanned each and every book from the outside, he began to have this urge to touch one and open it to see what does it contain.
He looked around his surrounding, just checking if there is someone who is nearby. He slowly raised his right hand and gently moved it closer to the books, gently making contact with their hard and premium textures.
"Human rights."
Ray quickly moved his body and hands away from the shelf and found a man standing meters away from him, his hands are behind his back, his eyes are brown just like the others, his height is slightly taller than him, the way he walked closer to him looks like he has great powers behind him.
"I was just...", Ray began to talk.
"I don't mind.", interrupted the man.
"It's ok. Oxford told me anyways...", Ray said to the man who was pulling the book, which Ray touched a while ago, out from the shelf and is now handing it to Ray.
Ray was about to refuse, but couldn't, so he received the book and slowly opened it after he took a good look at the book. He ran his eyes on each page that he flipped. While Ray was having an adventure, out of nowhere the man asked a question as he watched Ray.
"What are the things that you are fond of?"
Ray stopped and looked at him for a while.
"I... don't know...", he answered, slowly closing the book.
"Follow me, I'll show you something that you might like.", said the man as he grabbed the book and placed it back on the shelf and started to walk and Ray followed.
The man came to a stop and turned to the right, facing a tall glass case. Inside the glass container is a gold colors trident. Its height is higher than both of them, its spikes are so sharp that it can slice two pages of paper in half. Ray stared at the object then to the man who still hasn't introduced himself.
"My name's Sion, in case that you are wondering.", announced the man, keeping both of his hands behind his back.
"Ray.", Ray said to Sion.
"You know... you look just like the CEO of this company except for the white eyes, his name is Micro, do you know him?", Sion questioned.
"No.", the man wearing a white uniform answered.
"Of course not...", Sion murmured.
"There you are."
The two men turned around and saw Oxford walking towards them.
"Long time no see, friend.", Sion greeted Oxford with a smile as he stopped just feet away from them.
"Long time no see...", Oxford said back to Sion while shaking his right hand.
The man in a black suit then stared at Ray for a moment until Sion spoke.
"Why were you two here by the way?"
"Can you tell me what does this writing say?", Oxford showed Sion the unknown label that is attached to the small glass memory card.
Sion stared at it for a while as Oxford kept his hand from moving.
"No, sorry.", Sion shook his head. "Have you tried to look what is inside?", he added.
"Not yet... anyways... we will be going now.", said Oxford to Sion and then glanced at Ray, signaling him that it is time for them to leave the PGP.
Oxford was the first one to leave the room but Ray followed behind him. Oxford started to walk again, this time going the other way. Ray also noticed that there not much employees in the laboratory, he is even not sure anymore to call this a laboratory because he saw a printed text on a wall, which says Research Section III and it can be found at the entrance. Ray wasn't paying attention to his surroundings when he suddenly bumped to Oxford who just came to a stop. Oxford gave him a plain glance as he pulled out a card and slid it into the scanner that is fixed on the concrete wall, near the elevator's doors.
"Sorry.", said Ray in a low tone.
Ray heard Oxford let out a short sigh. He stood straight to him and continued to glance at the adult, without moving his head. The doors of the elevator opened to the sides and the two stepped inside. The door closed after them.
"Testing Section.", Oxford talked all of sudden, and the elevator began to move. Ray guessed that the elevator must be voice activated.
"Define testing facility.", Ray looked up at Oxford who just looked down as a response.
