The 14th Zoalord
Chapter 36
Opportunity
I can do this! Zoalord Mikhail Czyvek thought as he entered the Zoanoid Processing Center deep beneath Cloud Gate. I'm a Zoalord! I've fought Guyver III, two Zoalords and Aptom! I can do This!
He moved toward the rear of the Processing Center and took a deep breath.
"Dr. Nighthawk . . ."
"Lord Czyvek." Dr. Angela Nighthawk turned to face the Zoalord, "I wasn't expecting you so early."
The Zoalord took another deep breath as he took in the beautiful, full-figured scientist.
"I . . . I was wondering . . . If, you . . . maybe . . ."
Dr. Nighthawk could have sworn the Zoalord was turning red, "Are you alright, Lord Czyvek?"
"Yes! I . . . I . . ." Just say it!
"I was wondering . . . H-how the modifications to the Bonga were coming along. . ." Coward!
Dr. Nighthawk looked at him curiously.
Great! Now she thinks I'm crazy!"
"Well, everything is turning out better than we expected. it's amazing how many perfectly good Zoanoid types CHRONOS discontinued." She said slowly, "A few slight modifications were all that was needed. I'm glad we have someone willing to give these discontinued types another chance."
Go ahead, ask her!
Czyvek suddenly caught a flash of orange hair. Ishi! "Excuse me. I hope I'm not interrupting anything." Ishi gave a sly grin. The kid knew.
"No! Not at all . . . I just realized I have some very important documents to go over . . ." Czyvek said in a rush. A look of disappointment crossed Ishi's face.
"I-I'm sorry for wasting your time, Doctor."
"Yes."
"W-what . . . ?"
Doctor Angela Nighthawk smiled, "Mikhail Czyvek, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"
Ishi grinned widely and gave a fist-pump as the Zoalord nearly fell over.
"Yes! I-I mean, of course, Doctor. I'd love to have dinner with you . . ." Czyvek attempted to sound professional, and failed miserably.
The End
