SECRETS

Chapter 5

"This is insane, this is crazy!" I spoke from the top of my voice anger and confusion lining my words.
We were sitting in the cafeteria of this and I quote 'underground spy cave'.
"Calm down Taylor." Summer said while Beatrice was stuffing her face with moon cakes.
"How can I?" I asked bulging my eyes. "This just can't be for real." I finished.

"Well whatever is going on you have to deal with it because what other explanation can their be? They were abducted by aliens!?" Summer was starting to act up and that wasn't really pretty.
"Can you guys just chill," Beatrice spoke from across the table with cake stuffed in her mouth. " I mean look at all this food." She said dragging her words and staring at the leftover cake in her hands. She sounded funny. We giggled.
"Okay fine," I sighed with insecurity in my voice. " Let's go scan the environment." I said so it sounded like I gave in to the situation.

I still thought their was something up though. The way Miss. Dahlias, yes Dahlias I recall her name plate on her desk. How she spoke of Invictus and her sudden response after Beatrice's question. I had to find out the whole truth.

We decided to take a walk around the area. We entered a room with computer parts scattered everywhere. We observed the tiny but cool gadgets and also the weird fact that cat cartoons were playing on the big screen in the room.

"Uhm? May I help you girls?" Someone spoke, sounded like a male. We turned around to see a tall brunette standing in a lab coat. He wasn't all that of a man figure. We introduced ourselves but Beatrice couldn't even form proper words before this guy.
"Beatrice?" I snapped my fingers infront of her eyes hoping she could come back to earth. She finally quit daydreaming.
"I...I'm James, the...the uhm.. youngest software developer in...in this facility, nice to meet you girls." His accent was clearly British although he was stuttering.

"Is that the micro-chip 3000?" Beatrice spoke and pointed to a hovering piece of technology on the desk to our left.
"Yes indeed." James spoke. They both looked at each other with sparks in their eyes.

"Wow," I mouthed to Taylor." I think we should leave these two." I finished. We both agreed and headed straight for the exit after telling Beatrice that we were gonna head out.

**********

I was wondering all alone down in the basement. I had left Taylor up on the second floor. She was testing out some cool cosmetic gadgets. Atleast they both liked it so far.

I couldn't keep my mind straight my thoughts were wondering. They were triggered by the events that have happened recently. I needed time to clear my head. The basement was dimmly lit as expected but I wasn't scared to face a little darkness. It had old boxes with files and old wires and their was only two rows of this. I walked to end of both shelves looking in old boxes and was surprised when I found a door. It was odd because it was different. It was a simple door comparing to all the high tech stuff I've seen so far. But come on Taylor it's the basement. I rolled my eyes at myself.

I searched the door curiously along with its surrounding. I tried the lock once, I realized it was locked so I continued to search for a way in. I was very curious to know what was on the other side.

"Identify yourself agent," Someone spoke in my ear. I froze with hands parallel to my face, my eyes were wide open, my mouth gaped.

I had to answer but my brain was panicking so my mouth failed to form words. I felt something by my side, something hard on my lower back. Was it a gun? I finally spoke, " Taylor Ferone." My words trembled as they fell from my mouth.

"Okay Taylor, I want you to do me a favor," his manly voice spoke his speech didn't lack time he spoke swiftly. I gulped. "Yah..yah sure." I spitted quickly.
He came closer to my ear, hot air blowing down my neck. My body felt weird in the moment. Fear ran up and down my spine, my eyes shut tightly. He then spoke "press that button," my eyes opened in confusion. I searched for a button with my eyes, a button that was supposedly infront of me.
Yes there it was. I pressed it, after pressing the button a secret compartment popped out of the wall.

"Now take the key and unlock the door." He said sternly, was that hair on my ear? He had hair on is face I suspected. I soon after took the key and unlocked the door.

"Thank you." the guy spoke, at that point I realized that he was American. He then released me and walked right pass me. As his scent played with my nose I came back to normal mode.

"You gonna join or not?" he asked back turned to me walking in the room.
