There was a massive door with bars like a prison cell. There was a warning written in huge letters, ‘EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS!!!
Strong electric currents of 10000 volts flow through this door. It is also coated with Cyanide amalgam and Radon. This makes it extremely dangerous for Humans, Immortals, Clones, and Bots. Stay away if you don’t have a death wish.’
What was so valuable to be kept under such heavy protection? Sia wondered but didn’t dare touch the door. She was really in a tight spot.
If no one found out her location, she would die
“ No madam, As a part of the protocol, we must always keep our heads bowed unless ordered otherwise.”“ Ok, Naira. I never want you to keep your head bowed in front of me.”“ That would not be a very appropriate madam. Mr. Ben expects us to follow the protocols to the word.’“ But he is not here, and for now, you are my assistant. So you have to listen to me. My assistant Zora never behaved in this manner.”
She felt much better after chalking out a plan. Glancing at her watch, she realized that It was 3 in the morning. Everyone would be sleeping at this time. It would be a great time to see if she could access the reserved areas. Mr. Ben had used his CID to summon the glass passage cabin. What if she could do the same. It was worth a try. She browsed through all the options on the PCID. There were no options as such, but there was an icon ‘ Secured Access’She found a
Sia used the glassway to reach Zen enterprises. But as fate would have it, she saw Jay standing at the doorway.She had no patience to deal with him today. So, she decided to wait until he went away. She called Yorick and asked him to meet her opposite Zen enterprises. When he arrived within minutes, she realized that she could rely on him.“ Hello madam, Why are you standing outside? You could have waited for me in your office.”He said, hiding his shock on seeing Sia outside with a smile
“ Sure, Sia, I can teach you all about it except for the accessibility functions as it is configured differently for different people. Moreover, you must never use accessibility functions in front of anyone. Always come to this secret room. Lock it before you use them or try to find out more about it.”“ I will remember your advice,” Sia said solemnly. She was grateful to have found somebody who could help her with her.For the next two hours, Yorick explained every aspect of CID in great detail. She felt very powerful after knowing all
When Sia returned to Bennison’s Palace, she felt confident. She felt like she could sail through this storm with Zora and Yorick behind her back.She stepped into the hot shower to wash away the weariness of the day. Today’s day was tiring, yet she felt light and jubilant. “Seems like today is a lucky day…” She muttered, sitting on her bed with a thud, her feet dangling in the air. She hummed a tune as she thought about the day’s events. She had learned a lot about CID and Yorick. Tomorrow she could go and visit the weapon’s factory.
When Sia opened her eyes, she was lying on her bed. A Robomedic was standing right next to her. The moment she sat up, the Robomedic scanned her using laser rays and flashed a report on the screen opposite the bed. Naira read the report and stated, “Your vitals are working well, ma’am. Now, I have to connect a video call to Mr. Zen.”The memories flooded her mind, and her heart accelerated. What would she tell Mr. Ben?“Naira,
She felt the wind slap against her body as the pace she was falling accelerated by the minute. But she wasn’t scared. Why should she be? She could finally plead her love for forgiveness. Her movement was obstructed abruptly. She was prepared to go through the tremendous pain she would go through if she didn’t die instantly. But nothing happened. She didn’t feel her skull crack, her bones break, or any pain. Had she died instantly, saving herself from all the torture? But how was this possible? Puzzled by the lack of sensation, she opened her eyes. The tall tower extended endlessly before her.
Sia slumped to the floor the moment the glass cabin closed. She clenched the hem of her trousers and let out a primal scream, “Ahhhhh…..”Her body convulsed as she cried her heart out, overcome by emotions. Her mournful whimpers and cries resounded in the cabin. Drowned in her misery, she didn’t realize when the cabin came to a halt. Sia was startled when someone jumped right in front of her. She scrambled to her feet and looked up reflexively.
