Boris smiled at me and said, “I don’t think you did.” I smiled and said, “Great! What now?”
He looked down at his screen and said, “I was trying earlier to see what is going on in the Intelligence and Triangle compounds. Machines just stood at the gates and at every building entrance. No human was in sight.”
I said, “All day?”
He said, “Yes. I have my staff in security on surveillance 24/7 and watching everything.”
I said, “Maybe they missed something.”
He looked at me and said, “Why do you think that?”
I said, “Well, it seems weird that there are no humans visible at all. What happened to them? Are they all hostage? Dead?”
He said, “No. I don’t think so. It’s normal. Outside the building is what concerns me.”
I said, “What can we do then?”
He said, “We just have to wait and see.”
I looked down at his screen and asked, “What are you looking at? It seems blotchy and out of focus?”
He said, “We have night vision outside of each compound. A red light means it’s organic and faded blue are the machines. The faded blue is most of the screen.”
I looked closer at the screen and I noticed a very faint pink spec moving. I said, “Boris? Are you seeing that?” I pointed to the spec and said, “That? What is that?”
He looked at it and it was moving slowly. His eyes widened and said, “Can you walk fine? Do you still feel dizzy?”
I said, “I can walk.”
He grabbed the screen tablet and grabbed my hand. He said, “Come with me.”
We walked out of the lab and into a hallway. He said, “Don’t worry about any surveillance camera. The other compounds don’t have access to them anymore. We cut them off this morning.”
I nodded and walked silently with him. We walked down a flight of stairs and then through a door. The door led us down another hallway and there were a couple of doors on each side. Boris opened the door on the left. I walked in, and I saw around twenty people behind large screens. They all looked up and stared at me. Boris said, “I brought Lina with me and she will help us from now on.”
A man stood up and said, “General Boris, but she is classified as highly dangerous.”
Boris with a sharp tone said, “Yes, dangerous to the Intelligence and Triangle compounds, but not us.”
The man nodded and sat down. Boris looked up at the large screen to the right and said, “Can you change the output to night vision 304.”
The screen immediately switched and it was ten times bigger than Boris’s small screen. It was clearer and more detailed too. He stared closely at the pink spec. It still seemed small and moving slowly. A man sitting near the screen said, “Sir. It seems that something is crawling and bleeding heavily. Red is appearing pink and it will soon fade.”
Boris looked at him and said, “I know. I just want to make sure it’s human. Can you zoom in?”
The screen was zooming to the area of the spec and was significantly larger. Boris immediately said, “Stop!” He stared and I gasped. He looked at me and said, “These are outlines of a human body on the ground.” I said, “What do we do now?”
Boris walked backwards and said, “Lina, come with me.”
I walked out with Boris down another hallway. He opened another door with a key code. The room was empty and had a desk with multiple screens on the wall and a large one on the desk. Boris sat on the chair and started typing furiously. Out of curiosity I said, “Whose office is this?” He didn’t raise his head and said, “It’s mine.” I said, “Oh.”
He said, “We can’t go check out what’s going on because that person is still in the Intelligence compound.”
I said, “Why don’t we go from the hidden entrance covered by bushes and trees?”
He raised his head and said, “What hidden entrance?”
I smiled and said, “The one I know about!”
He looked at me confused and said, “What else do you know?”
I said, “I don’t have to answer you, but if things come up, then I might be of assistance.”
He said, “One day you will have to follow my orders no matter what.”
I stuck my tongue out at him and said, “I don’t think that day will ever come Boris.”
