Sarah was pointing a device right at her pupils when Arnold walked into the room.
“Are you crazy Sarah? What are you doing?” He asked holding her hand back.
“I was just removing the lens implant.”
“Un! What is that?” Arnold said furrowing his eyebrows.
Sarah was sitting in her bedroom reading a book when she heard some commotion. Sia came running in through the door and climbed onto her lap. Butterfly, Sia’s personal assistant followed behind. It came to a halt before.“Madam, Sia doesn’t listen to my commands. I want to report that……….” It started saying in a mechanical voice but Sarah stopped it midway and commanded.
Mr. Roy stood outside room no 550 of the Secret Inspy Club. He had never thought that he would come to this club that too to meet someone like Arnold Zen. The things he had heard about Mr. Zen weren’t very encouraging either but what choice did he have.After searching for about six years he had finally discovered an island that was perfect for a secret civilization. But, he lacked the resources to find more people and escape from the mainland undetected. That was the reason he had come to meet Mr. Zen despite his inhibition.He pressed the button n
Arnold’s steps faltered as he was about to enter his house. He felt guilty because he had lied to Sarah. He wondered what had changed. A few years ago, he never even thought once before lying. But now, he felt a knot in his stomach every time he lied. He crossed his fingers as he decided to tell Sarah about today’s meeting. She would get angry but he would find a way to make up to her. It was better than feeling like this.
A shrill tune sounded in the room and the screen lit up with a call request from the authorities. Though why it was said to be a call request, Arnold had no idea. It wasn’t as if someone could dare to decline it.His hands quivered as he chose ‘pick up the call in manual mode’ instead of brainwave mode. He could only hope that his choice was accepted.He let out a sigh of relief when the call got connected.
Arnold had no option but to lead the stranger inside the gate. The probot raised its weapon on seeing them and said in a mechanical voice, “Intruder Alert. Triple laser weapon activated, waiting for the command to fire.”The stranger shoved Arnold Ahead and gritted out, “Tell it to lower its weapon or…”Arnold let out a deep sigh and instructed, “Probot 55 lower your weapon. Standby”
Arnold and Sarah were sitting on the floor with a bewildered expression, covered in glitter from head to toe. The noise of explosion ha startled them causing them to fall on the floor.The stranger was bent over with laughter. Sia was still in his arms and was giggling too.Arnold blinked his eyes again and again. He frowned and looked around trying to get a hold on what had happened. Was this some kind of joke? He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. On one hand, he was happy that he wasn’t killed but his mind was still reeling in distress.
Arnold, Sarah, and Mr. Roy were seated around a table in one of the secret tunnel rooms that was owned by Arnold. They were deep in discussion when a message popped on the screen.Your application to Immortal’s Council has been scheduled for a review. The council has given you the time of 9:00 am for a meeting tomorrow.When Arnold read the message he didn’t feel any joy or excitement, The meeting felt just like any work he had to do. He was more interested in what Mr. Roy was saying.
“Wow…Sia, that was a good aim!” Sarah said as she saw her daughter cover the transmuter kept on the table with glitter. She hadn’t created any mess and covered it with accuracy. “Yay!” Sia exclaimed and clapped her hands.“What should I aim at now, momma?” She looked around. Then her eyes lit up as she pointed it at Sarah.“No…Sia…please d
