Chapter 4: Project A.O.D. is Missing
The sound of thundering footsteps echoed in the hallway. The voices of the crowd of people became clear as the owner of the footsteps opened a door at the end of the hallway.
"Stop this commotion! What the hell is going on?"
A younger scientist looked up from his colleagues towards the booming voice; he grabbed a clipboard and walked towards him.
"Sir, we have a situation…"
"Why is this room in shambles and the alarm is driving me out of my mind"
"Sir, that's part of the situation"
"What is it?"
The older scientist looked away from the rambling younger towards another small group of scientists and researchers. Behind them was a large canister, wires hanging from the top and broken glass and water on the floor.
He strolled towards them, his expression changing from irritation to pure anger and frustration. He grabbed one of the wires and saw that a lot of them were basically destroyed.
"Where is the project?"
"We don't know sir, it seems that it smashed out of the container and fled the building"
"Have you dispatched anyone yet to look for it?"
"No" replied the younger scientist, lowering his head in regret.
The older scientist picked up a beaker and threw it at his head! Thousands of pieces tingled onto the floor.
"IDIOT! Do you know how dangerous that experiment is? It's not supposed to be outside the building! Now, I want you to send out some men to find it or all of your careers are over!"
All of the scientists nodded in unison and hurried to do whatever they could. The elder scientist was left in the room alone. He looked at the chaos left behind, glass littered the floor and a nearby bed was shredded, toys and books were also among the destroyed items. His eyes drifter back to the canister.
Lying in the water at the bottom of the tank was a single white feather.
