BXBX NOVEL Chapter 190
Then I saw a group of people in black suits and ties begin to run towards us.
“Your ID please,” one of them asked.
I looked at Nikki as she gave them five ID’s, but she seemed to be a little nervous about it all, as she was glancing at her surroundings in order to make sure that nobody was suspicious. They checked them, and then gave them back to her with a smile. Then I noticed that there was a bunch of them guarding the front doors.
“They’re checking our identification,” Nikki said as we walked up to her and asked her about it.
Soon enough, we made it towards the front door–and now the mission was starting to begin. “See anything Fulton?” I asked inside my earpiece, and I heard his voice echo out of my earpiece as he said, “No, nothing.”
Then we entered through the front door and we were greeted by a bunch of agents who seemed to be walking around everywhere as they were giving each other high fives and stuff. The place was white all over the place: it was an all-white building that had a white tiled floor that went from the front doors to the back doors and then ended at the ceiling that went up and up until it was almost impossible for us to reach that ceiling.
“Okay, to the right,” September ordered, pointing that way, “That way leads us to Dr. Mord’s lab.”
Then I looked at Tisiah as he nodded at me. “Alright,” he said in response as he began to lead us in that direction, while I watched the other agents who seemed to be checking out their surroundings while they talked amongst themselves.
.....
Once we reached the end of the white hallway we came across a room of stairs, with three guards that were by the corner. They were tall and meaty, their muscles popping from their armor, with two pistols holstered on their sides and one knife in their hands.
They gave us a smile as we approached them as if they wanted us to do something, but we continued to keep our distance from them. Then one of them walked towards us, and he brought out his hand wide. “ID,” he said, and I looked at Nikki once again, giving them our ID’s.
The guard checked them one by one, very–very carefully, but I didn’t feel uncomfortable around them. “Thank you,” he said once he handed them back to us. “Please make your way up there,” he said as he pointed to the stairs that led up to a door with a padlock on it. There was a keypad by the side, and all we needed to was...oh, no.
“Uhh, anyone remember the password?” I asked, looking at everyone, but nobody replied back.
“What about the number code?” Nikki asked me, but she was just as confused as I was.
“I have no clue,” September replied in my earpiece.
“Uhh...” I said, “I think it’s something about the number...” Then I turned around in search for a hint of some kind. But I couldn’t find anything in this place: it was just all white everywhere, and there was nothing that would give me an idea of what we could do with the padlock.
“Wasn’t it like 3-2-3-something like that?” Tisiah asked, scratching his head, and I turned around to face him in order to hear what he had to say. “Yeah,” he said, “It was like that.”
I looked at Nikki who was biting her nails in frustration. “Ummm,” she muttered as she looked at the keypad, trying to see a way to unlock the padlock. Swaet rolled down my face in concern, for this seemed like a very difficult mission to do.
Then I turned to Tisiah as I said, “Okay so what is 3-2-3-something?”
Tisiah stared at me and nodded slightly for a second before he replied, “It was something like that,” and then he pointed up to the keypad on the door. “You don’t remember?” he asked, but I shook my head as I replied, “No.”
I glanced at Nikki as I said, “So what’s the number?”
Nikki shook her head as well as she replied, “I don’t know.”
As we were staring at the keypad, there was suddenly a click from behind us and then the door slowly began to open as we all stood there with our mouths wide open. “Uh, who opened it?” I asked inside of the earpiece as I heard Agent Nelson. “One of guys were able to hack inside of the door and open it. Now go up the stairs that are in front of you.”
“Yes ma’am,” September said, turning around and leading us up the stairs. Then I saw another set of stairs that led to the top floor of the building.
“The top floor,” I said in order to keep track of our path as we climbed the steps, and then I looked around in order to see where I could see the ceiling of this place. I noticed that there was something above the door that we came through before as it seemed that it was a control panel, with a bunch of buttons on it. “Is this for opening doors?”
Nikki shrugged her shoulders in response as she replied, “I have no idea.”
As we began to walk through the door we saw that there was a red light flashing beside the door as it was blinking. “Uhhhh, uhhh,” Malachi muttered, quickly closing it, “This place is alarmed.”
“It’s fine,” Tisiah replied. “We have a code that we can use.” Then he pointed at the number pad on the door and gave it a push. “What was the code?” I asked him, but he shook his head and replied, “I don’t remember.” Then he gave another push on the keypad and it clicked, making the red light stop flashing and then it just went dark. “Okay,” he said as he turned around and said, “Let’s just go down the hall. Maybe they changed to whole elevator thing.”
“Perhaps,” I agreed as we began to move through the halls, and it was all white all over again with just a little bit of red lights here and there on the ceiling that were illuminating the room. It was like an empty hallway with nothing in it except for those little red lights and all of these doors leading to different rooms.
“Okay she said ahead of the hall, and to the left right?” September asked, and Nikki nodded, and we all moved through this hallway as we kept our eyes on the walls in case there were any cameras that were spying on us or anything. We followed our leader, but soon enough I saw her turn towards one of the doors ahead of us as she put her earpiece back into her ear.
“Alright, let’s see if this is it,” I said, as I opened the door. Slowly the lab began to reveal itself, but no noise echoed from the room as I peered inside, but nothing seemed to be going on here besides for some computers and a desk in the middle of the room. “Well,” I said in disappointment as I closed the door again, “I think we’ve found Dr. Mord’s lab.”
“But where’s the folders?” September asked. Then her eyes froze as she looked at something that seemed to be on one of those tables. She walked over, picking up a black tablet that was shining in the light. The screen was clear, with no dirt or little particles resting on top of the screen as it seemed to be clean, and September’s eyes widened in surprise as she read a bunch of information that was displayed on the screen.
“This is where Dr. Mord keeps his records,” she said aloud as she glanced at us. “These are the folders!”
“But what is the password?” Malachi asked. “Unless we can hack it and get us some information.”
“Exactly,” I heard Agent Nelson say in our earpiece. “September, are you holding the tablet?”
September nodded as she slowly walked towards our direction. “Alright, you should see a green checkmark on the top. Click so we can start gathering information. But it needs to stay until it reaches 100%, so don’t try to break it or let someone have it,” Agent Nelson said.
But as I looked forward, I saw five guards with those rifles that Mr. Drails mentioned about. And they were coming right for us.
