Chapter 11 - Saving Haruka Part 1
We were now all standing on the parking lot of the research facillity ready to put my plan into action.
"You all know what to do right?" I asked them.
"Yes," they all answered at the same time.
"Good. Rei you're up first."
Rei's mission was to put the security guardsto sleep with his sleeping drug that he had invented. Because you see, Rei was a scientist . At the age of 19 he had already made a name of himself as one of the most brilliant scientists in Japan.
"You got it Makoto-senpai," he said and we all walked up to the entrance.
"Excuse me but you are not premited to enter, not even you Makoto. It's the doctor's orders," one of the security guards standing by the entrance said.
"Oh, I was just delivering my dad's lunch. He forgot it this morning," I said and Rei handed him the lunch box. What the guard didn't know was that the box contained the sleeping drug (which was air born).
"We'll have to inspect it first," he said and opened it.
When he opened the box we all held our breath's so that we wouldn't breath in the drug. Both of the security guards leaned over the box and fell to the floor as soon as the box was opened. We all hurried past them to get away from the drug smoke. When we were in the clear we could finally breath again.
"Okay, now that we're in it's Nagisa, Aiichiro and Momotarou's turn," I said and turned to them.
Their mission was to distract the other security guards and researchers so that the rest could reach Haru's room.
"We won't let you down Mako-chan!" Nagisa said.
We left the three there and the rest of us continued towards Haru's room. On the way we passed Dr Hamada's office and we heard voices inside. One of them was Dr Hamada but I didn't know who else was in there.
"It's my boss!" Gou whispered.
"Schh! I want to hear what they are saying!" I whispered back to her.
"I'm done with my research and I finally know where the rest of them are so he's all yours!" I heard Dr Hamada say.
"How did you manage to get him to tell you?" The director of the marine park asked him.
"I said I would hurt Mr Tachibana's son if he didn't tell me!" He said and laughed.
I didn't get the chance to hear anymore because a security guard came running down the hallway and we all quicky hid in a supply closet next to the office.
"Dr Hamada, we have three intruders!" The security guard told the two men.
"What!? How did they get in!" Dr Hamada said, very angry.
"It seems like they somehow made the security guards at the entrance fall asleep."
"Why today of all days!" Dr Hamada said and the three hurried down the corridor.
"It seems the distraction worked," Rin said.
"Dr Hamada knows where the other mermaids and mermen are... This is not good," I said and looked down at my feet.
"He told him where they are to protect me. They are all in danger because of me.
"It will be alright Makoto," Gou said and patted me on the back.
"You're right. Let's continue."
When we reached Haru's room we saw that two security guards were guarding the door.
"What are we gonna do now?" Sousuke asked me.
"I'll distract them," Rei said.
"Okay, I'm counting on you."
Rei stepped forward and yelled out;
"Hello there! Catch me if you can!"
The two guards reacted to Rei's voice and chased after him.
Me, Gou, Rin and Sousuke were now standing outside the door to Haru's room.
"I'll guard the door while the rest of you go in," Gou said.
"Just be careful," Rin told her.
"Don't worry about me bro."
"Okay, let's go in," I said and opened the door.
