The Arctic Files

Chapter 4: Leads

By now everyone was downstairs watching Zac through the window worryingly. "Can't you heal me with your powers?!" Zac asked.

"It doesn't work like that. It has to be a wound or injury, I can't just heal an unknown... I don't even know what it is." he said concerned.

Zac tried every possible way to find a cure in the lab with Ellie helping on the other side of the doors. 

Ellie sighed, "Don't worry Zac I'm sure that you can find a cure. You're one of the smartest people I kno-"

"We are flying over the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with land thousands of miles away and I only have about 15 minutes left before me and this plane gets blasted out of the sky!"

"Zac please calm down if anyone will find a way to get out of this alive it will be you. Now, all we know about this device is that it must have been stolen from EDG because of the logo printed on the side but when I search the device, nothing comes up. I tried looking it up anywhere outside of EDG tech but there is absolutely nothing on this device."

"Great, just great. The only option that we have is to destroy the device, and if not then we probably just destroyed the only thing to save me."

"50/50 chance."

"I don't like taking chances especially because this is my life on the line. If I don't destroy this then I die and the rest of the plane gets struck and you all die too. I don't want to put your lives at risk."

"Zac don't think like that! It's like you've given up all hope!

"Ellie there is nothing we can do."

Upstairs in Matts office he was in a video call with a level 8 agent.

"Nice to see you're not dead" the man said.

"Did you get our analysis of the deivce." 

"I haven't heared or seen anything like it. No one has. Thats why its important it goes to HQ for testing without harm. I've also been notified from my superiors... that if your have infected cargo... you need to dump it."

"And what is that supposed to mean"

"We both know what it means."

"You know I'm also your superior and there's very few who are higher than me so who gave you this order."

"I can not say I'm sorry sir. But they insisted that this person is a risk to everyone onboard your plane so you must eliminate them at once."

"Sorry... what did you say... It seems your breaking up." Matt presses some buttons on his tablet to make the call cut out. "That asshole" he said as he turned to find Quinn smiling, standing at the door.

"How long were you standing there?"

"Long enough to know that you purposly hung up with him and go against an order. You're starting to grow on me Matt Evans."

"I'm just buying them time before they call again and ask where Zac is. After this is all over remind me to have a... talk with that agent who delivered those orders to me."

"Gladly."

Matt walked sharply down the stairs  and told them both to quickly find a way to stop it or anything as fast as they can.

"I'm sorry sir, but we only have about 6 more minutes... I can't do anything..." Zac sighed, "I know what I have to do in these circumstances."

"No, no, there's still time you have-"
