Note: I'm back with the next chappy! Everyone loves new chappys! ;)
Aelita sighed.
Jeremie looked up from his computer, "What is it?"
"Well if this virus is made when the two halves merge then shouldn't we go back to the hospital?" Aelita asked, "We have, after all, encountered both sides."
He looked at his computer and thought for a minute. Deciding, he continued his work, "Eventually they'll call us, until then I should try and find an antivirus."
Aelita nodded.
Click, click, click… the keys of Jeremie's keyboard weren't too loud. Click, click, click… they had a rapid steady beat, Aelita realized. Click, click, click… and that steady, repetitive beat was annoying. She sighed and stood up.
"Where are you going?" Jeremie asked.
"For a walk," Aelita casually replied, she walked over to the elevator door and stepped in. The doors shut, leaving Jeremie to his typing. Immediately the elevator started going up, that was good, she wanted to go up, breathe the fresh air.
She pulled the door up, it locked in place. Aelita looked around the ground floor; broken machinery was coated in dust and left around the room, rays of light streamed in lighting random pieces of the floor. A soft draft made Aelita shiver in the elevator. She walked forward, towards the exit.
Once outside she decided she'd stay on the bridge, she looked down at the water. It rush past, carrying random things in it's current. In it's clear depths Aelita could see the rocks at the bottom, they varied. Some looked rounded while others looked more angular, a giant one appeared to be flat. Aelita's cell phone rang, vibrating in her pocket, playing Waltz of the Flowers she thought the song was pretty, like her cell phone, it was pink, a pastel pink, with a few flower stickers on it, they, the flowers, were pink, only because of the white boarder about each petal.
A quick look at caller id told her it was Ulrich calling, no doubt to tell them to get themselves to the hospital. Aelita thought of Ulrich's plan grey cell phone as she picked her own up. He'd be standing there facing the group saying 'Aelita, c'mon, pick up' she knew, then when she answered he'd say 'Aelita thank goodness, I thought you'd never pick up' then after he started talking to her when he was pressed for time he'd talk with one finger in his ear and be nodding at what the other person was saying. He'd probably be pressed for time. Aelita let it ring.
She walked inside the door, leaving the outside behind her. The room still looked the same, but Waltz of the Flowers echoed off the ceiling, repeating back on it's self. The vibrations kept their normal beat; apparently Ulrich wasn't going to hang up. She stepped into the elevator and pulled the door shut behind her, she punched the down button and it went on it's way. She picked up her cell phone, Ulrich's voice came through the speaker.
"Aelita!" I thought you'd never pick up! Why do you always keep me waiting like that?" Ulrich demanded.
"Sorry, what did you call for?" She replied.
"Galadriel wants you and Jeremie back here pronto and anyone else you've made contact with."
"We haven't been any where but the factory, Ulrich."
"Oh, well then, come back, Odd says bring more snacks."
"No more of those icky cakes," Odds voice overrode Ulrich's "They leave a horrible after taste!"
"Okay," Aelita smiled, "See you soon then, bye." She ended the call, closing her pink cell phone; it lay motionless in the palm of her hand. Her fingers closed around it and she dropped in back into her pocket. The elevator door opened, not after her putting in the code though, and Jeremie was still sitting at his computer.
"The hospital wants us back," She called.
"Yeah, Ulrich called me; I was just about to call you."
"Doesn't look it."
"Yeah, I was backing everything up and transferring important files and ones I'll need to my laptop."
"Don't you think you'll lose it during quarantine?"
"Oh, well, just incase I backed everything up to this," He held up a few disks, "Hopefully I'll be able to get them, and my laptop through, hopefully."
Aelita sighed, "We best hurry then."
"Point," Jeremie zipped his laptop's case shut, pocketed the disks and entered the elevator.
Note: Well that was chappy 20! Hope everyone enjoyed (I'm taking keyboarding).
