We went back to Baker's office where Daniel and Nix waited. Baker faced the window and looked down at all of the news reporters were, crowding the entrance. "Aya… I thought I told you not to say anything…" Baker said in a low voice. " … I'm telling the truth sir…" I said. Baker turned around and angrily striked his desk. "That's not the point! Who's going to believe you?!" He shouted. "You'll only stir up the media and cause people to panic!" I looked down at the floor, realizing that he was right. Suddenly Baker's phone rang so he answered it.
" Baker here… Who?… What does he want? Well put him through then" He responded and waited for a few minutes. " This is Captain Baker here… What? Meet? … You'll have to speak up!…yes…What? … Yes all right" Baker said impatiently then put his hand over the speaker. "Some Japanese scientist I think. I couldn't understand his English too well. He was raving about some mito-something… Says he's coming over here" Baker explained as I looked up. "Is it mitochondria?" I asked quickly. "You mean the thing in the cell that makes energy from oxygen?" Nix asked with curiosity. "Might of heard about that in school" Daniel said while scratching his head. " That's what Eve said… That it's time for mitochondria to be set free…" I said quietly. Nix suddenly became quiet. "Sir, I'm taking Aya to go talk to that researcher" Daniel told Baker. Baker nodded while holding the phone. " Go. Better get there before the media. It might explain this phone call too" Baker instructed. " Yes sir" Daniel said and put his hand on my shoulder. " "C'mon Aya."
While we were stuck in some traffic, I started to wonder about who was this person. "Where are we going?" I asked. Daniel screeched to a stop and honked at a taxi driver who seemed to be cursing at him. " We're going to the Museum of Natural History" Daniel replied as the rude driver sped off. " Dr. Hans Klamp'll be there." Dr. Hans Klamp? Sounds familiar… I thought to myself. "Dr. Klamp? What's his area of research?" I asked with curiosity. " Well, according to the papers, he's working on a new theory. Mitochondria something, but it seems to cover the whole genetic spectrum" Daniel explained and stopped quickly again because of a man in a sweat suit and a CD player ran out in front of the car. " Godammit…" He muttered under his breath. " That's pretty odd to have a PH.D and be working in a museum" I said. We drove off again and Daniel was getting a bit edgy. Usually, in the afternoons, traffic wasn't so bad, it was just the dumb drivers. " Well, he's pretty anti-social and doesn't like to waste his time outside research" He explained. I rolled my eyes and gave a sigh. " OH GREAT we're gonna have a grand time with this one" I muttered, irritated. Daniel chuckled.
" Yea Yea… I know where your going with this… Just be careful next time huh?"
"Are you referring to the press conference?"
"Yea…"
"Daniel? Why do you kiss the chief's butt? You two joined the force at the same time, didn't you?" I asked while staring out the window. Daniel gave a sigh. " Yea… but that was years ago… Now he's my boss" Daniel said as he stopped in front of the museum and turned off the engine. He got out of the car and gave a long whistle as he got out of the car. " It's been a while since I've visited the museum. Dino exhibit… loved those things when I was a kid!" He said joyfully and stared at the concrete building in awe. Then He eyed at a sign that said " dino exhibit closed" and gave a frown. "Hmm … its closed today…" He murmured and spotted a guard standing by the entrance. " Well, let's see what he can do for us" Daniel said and started to walk up the stairs that was caked with snow. I quickly caught up with him at the top where he greeted the old guard.
"Hey there! How ya doin' ?" Daniel greeted with a cheerful smile. The guard kept shivering and blowing hot air into his cupped hands. " Doin' ok… Pretty cold today though… How bout yourself?" the guard asked. "We're with the NYPD. We're here to see a Dr. Klamp. He works here, doesn't he?"
The guard turned around and unlocked the big door. "Sure does, as a matter of fact, he's up there in his room right now" The guard babbled as he opened the door but stopped and gave a concerned look at us. " Did he do something?" Daniel gave an assuring smile. " Nah… We just wanna talk to him, that's all" he replied and walked inside. " Thank you. It shouldn't take long" I said to the guard and walked inside.
