"I think that really doesn't sound like an order from the Principal..." Henz said.
"Huh? Really?" Mike replied.
"It actually kinda sound like it's from Mafia. A black mail letter." Henz deadpanned.
"Well you do it then!" Mike said, irritated.
Henz sighed exasperatedly and started typing.
"There's an emergency. Go back to the school now." He said while typing and proceeded to send the message to Mauricio's email.
"Seriously..." Henz said to Mike, exasperated. "'What's with I''ll make this simple' at the beginning. You watch too many action/suspense movies."
Mike was about to say something, but then the bell rang.

Ishii's POV
The laboratory was unlocked, thank goodness. We just barely made it. Just as Jack closed the door, the bell rang.
It was already our dismissal time.
"Lock the door!" Sam said. Well, it wouldn't do if someone saw us. "They wouldn't think it's unusual since Mauricio always lock this lab."
Lauren sneezed besides me. I looked at her. She really looked pale.
I heard the door click, locked. Jack must have done so since he was the one closest to the door.
"Okay..." Ryan said a bit awkwardly and I looked up. "So let's start looking for the blueprint..."
"Ah, yeah." Debbie said, a bit distracted. She was still holding the pieces of what was formerly the height machine.
"Oh, sorry I forgot." Kiana said, placing us gently to the table and hurrying to Debbie.
"Thank you." Debbie said as the two of them gently placed the pieces down.
"Is that it?" Jack suddenly said,
All of us looked at where Jack was pointing.
It was a folder. Ryan moved towards it and took it.
"Woah, it really is." He exclaimed.
"That was... fast." James commented. I could only nod.
Ryan moved back to where we were and laid the folder on the table. Debbie, Kiana and Jack moved closer to Ryan while Sam, Nadine and James went around the folder. I was about to go, too but I noticed Lauren didn't move. She looked paler than ever. I decided I'll just stay there with her. We were sitting just about a foot away from them. It seems so far, actually.
"It seems to be a list of all of Sir Mauricio's invention." I heard Nadine say.
"It's 'Height Machine.'" Sam said.
Ryan nodded, flipping the pages until finally, he stopped at one page.
I could see the inverted 'Height Machine' written in bold letters on top of the page from where we were sitting. There were paragraphs under it and what seems to be an illustrations about the machine.
"That's good, it seems everything is here." Ryan said. I couldn't help but smile at that. I looked at my other friends.
Lauren, besides me as well as Sam who was closest to us were also looking relieved.
