Chapter 10 Ninth Chapter.

I decided not to change, I'm not smelly after all. I'm now walking in the hall way, heading to the unknown. I don't know this place and it's quiet here, it's creeping me out.

I don't know how long I've been walking, i didn't see unsual things while i roamed, gosh.

I was about to turn left to roam there when i heard footsteps not far from where i am, i saw two guys in a lab gown talking. There near a door, i guess they came out there. Not long after they left, i observed the surroundings. There's something that pushes me to see the inside of that room. When everything's all clear, i decided to went near the door.

My steps are slow and careful not to make any noise. There's something in the room pulling me, i have a strange feeling about this. I looked at my back and at the side, still no sign of people. The two guys didn't totally closed the door, leaving me a hole to atleast see a bit of the inside.

Stuff used in hospitals are in the table. I can also see liquids with different color. What room is this? I looked at a different angle, and i saw a cylindrical thing there, it has lots of wires and buttons. What is that stuff? Are they surgeons? I was about to open the door widely and enter the room when a hand grabbed the doorknob. My heart is beating fast, did the guys came back already? Am i doomed? I didn't move, I'm observing and feeling the surroundings, ready to counter attack.

"Kiela, you shouldn't be here. This hallway is for staff only." i let out a sigh in my mind, luckily it's just Hendrix.

"Oh sorry Hendrix. I didn't know. I'm searching for the kitchen or the canteen. Sorry if i ended up here." I took my hands off the doorknob, he's been holding my hands there. I looked at Hendrix, he's in his angel form now. He smiled at me.

"It's okay, that happens in newbies. I'll take you to the canteen, I'm also hungry." He softly said.

I walked first, I still can't believe he found me. How long was he there? Was he watching my moves? And that room, what was that? Is that true? That cylindrical stuff, i know that stuff.

In one article I've encountered, it says that some scientists have found out how to resurrect. The picture pasted their looked the same as that cylindrical stuff. At first i didn't believe that article, i knew it was impossible, i believed that that was just clout chasing. But when i saw that thing here, a bunch of questions flooded my mind. What if it is possible? What would happen to the world? How many people have they successfully resurrected?

"Kiela, are you listening to me?" Hendrix's voice pulled me back to reality. I got in deep thoughts, i didn't knew i was steps away from Hendrix. I stopped walking and looked back.

"Are you saying something Hendrix?" He stared at me with a confused look, but I'm too skilled in examining people,i can see in his eyes that he knows why.

"Sorryy, my mind flew because I'm so hungry." I lied, even though i knew it's no use.

"Don't worry, we're almost there. You went too far, the cafeteria is near your room." He softly said.

"Why are you here?" Opps, it went out my mouth.

"What's with the so random question?" He chuckled.

"Working?" He added.

"Hendrix Lim, convicted with more than ten crimes. Murdering his mother, father and his 5 year old brother. Attempted to murder more than 5 people, including his grand mother and teacher. He escaped prison after staying there for five months. Listed in Top 10 Most Wanted Criminal." I did a background check after the meeting, and to my surprise, he is a criminal. A devil in disguise.

"Your wise, as expected." He's not shocked, he is well prepared.

"So this is where you hide. Is this the den of criminals?" I laughed sarcastically, btchy Ezekiela is back in the zone.

"Maybe? Why don't you find out?" I laughed louder, i will Hendrix.

"So you already knew. Why did you still follow me? I know I'm handsome but my heart is already taken." I rolled my eyes.

"Your confidence is so high, it even reached the devil's den that invited you to be his right hand."

"I am skilled. Wanna test it?" He stopped walking and faced me showing his real identity: a psychopath.

He didn't wait for my response, he punched me but I'm able to dodge. He kept on trying to punch me and all i did was to dodge. I can't find a great timing to fight back.

Honestly, he is good at fighting, he's fast and he has strong cardiovascular. I know i have less possibility to win this battle, i should tire him before my body gives up. Defense before offense.

"You have skills Kiela."

"Thank you. You too, no wonder you killed many people. Even a champion in wrestling has no chance in you. Was that payed or personal want?" He just laughed. In his every murder, i can see connection in his personal life.

I don't know how many hours we've been doing this. I can feel my body being weak, my every dodge is slow. Hendrix is just smiling evilly, i can't find a sweat in his face, gosh.

I was hit by his punch in my arms, his punch is full of power, does he even feel tiredness?

He stopped attacking me.

"Good job Kiela, though you need more training. Know the opponent's weakness and take the risk, don't just dodge and wait for the bell to ring." He plainly said like a match didn't happen.

"Sorry about your arm" and he smiled softly.

He's not a joke but in those times, i didn't just dodge, i got to know him more. I know one of his weakness.

"Thank you for the tip too Hendrix. My hunger went out because of the training. I'll go back to my room, i feel so sticky i better have a shower." I bowed a bit to give respect to him and started walking. What a training.

"That's the wrong way Kiela. I better take you back to your room. This is a big place and they won't like it seeing some stranger in forbidden places." I stopped walking, oopssiee. I felt he strongly said the last sentence.

"Oh, sorry. No thanks, i got it Hendrix." I went back at him and showed him a genuine smile. I started walking again, in the right direction this time.

My guess about him is true. Even so, i followed him and acted like i knew nothing. I know he's neck is tied, he's under Mr.happygiver and seems like Mr.happygiver is in favor of me. In short, Hendrix can't touch me.

At first, i accepted this mission because of Sab's foolish action and because my job is threatened by Mr. Valdez' post. But, when i saw that flashdrive, I now thank Sab for doing that. Thanks to her, i have a chance to finally get to know and meet Monchi's inventor who also invented that flashdrive.
