Chapter 4

I groan as I heard the alarm go off sounding like a space ship going into space in my ears. I finally got the strength the hit the damn thing and luckily it turned off, leaving it peaceful once again. I got up sitting in bed with light dark circles under my eyes, I looked at the time as it was 4 in the morning. I got up and got ready for the first day of my new job. I put on my glasses, a collared long sleeve shirt with brown pants and black dress shoes, I also put on a dark maroon tie to finish the look.

After getting everything ready I grabbed something to eat for breakfast from the kitchen. After that I put on a normal mask. I get out of my apartment and locked the door before leaving. I went to the elevator and pushed a button before going down the building. I waited for a moment before the doors opened and I began walking to the facility I now work at. It was a decent walk from the complex I lived in but fairly close to the building. I walked in through the front door and immediately saw Dr. Dark waiting for someone by the front desk.

" ah, mr. Delaney, you finally came " he said with a smile on his face.

" good morning Dr. Dark " I said nonchalantly

" please I told you to call me Gray " he said with a little bit of sadness in his voice.

I was confused by his expression and sound of voice. Maybe he likes to joke around or something.

" sorry sir " I said with a bit of confusion in my voice.

" well besides the point, you came here earlier than I expected. Non of the other employees have ever came this early. " he said ignoring the other conversation and became surprised by my appearance in this building.

" I usually get up early " I said bluntly feeling sleepy a little.

" well, I'm just glad you came on time, follow me so you can see where your partners are. " he said with a smile as he led me down a hallway.

' great, now I have to work with people ' I thought while walking with him, hands behind my back. The hallway had a numerous amount of rooms with numbers on top of the door frames, Each room having metal double doors. I looked at the doors right of me seeing the number on the top, 144. I then looked at the doors in-front of us, then the number. 145, sounds familiar, oh yeah that's the number of scars I have on my chest and back from the incident. Before we could open the door an explosion sounded from the other side making Dr. Dark jump a little. He finally opened the door with black smoke coming out the room. I Guess that's why the doors are made of metal instead of wood. Walking into the room there were many vials and beakers filled with different liquids, a few chairs, a few desks, and a large rectangular Island like some kitchens have in the middle of the room.

" hello Dr. Davis, Higgins " he said greeting the two

" oh, hello sir " a man said smiling and waving at us, having black stains on his face and shirt, luckily he was wearing safety glasses to protect himself with. He wore a white lab coat with a black shirt and brown pants with brown shoes.

" hello Dr. Dark " said a woman next the the now stained man. She wore the same lab coat with a lilac shirt underneath and black pants with black shoes. She was holding a beaker with glowing blue liquid in it. 

" guys I would like you to meat Dr. Delaney, he's new so make sure to answer any of his questions if he has any " Dr. Dark said putting a hand on my shoulder.

" it's nice to meet you! " both Davis and Higgins said at the same time waving a hand to me. I gave a nod to both of them as to say greeting back.

" feel free to do anything today, today is a free day so you can invent anything you want. " Dr. Dark said with a smile. I nod once again and he left the room without question. For a moment the other two started to stared at me as if studying me for something but then went back to what they were doing. While standing I thought of something I could invent, maybe that one thing I was wanting to make for a while.

I started grabbing a few materials and started getting to work. I drew it out on a piece of paper and began grabbing some tools. I started the handle making it carbon fiber on a few sides. The two others in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at what I was doing, They were interested and fascinated at the same time. the woman named Dr. Higgins as I collect, was interested why I was using carbon fiber for my invention, while the man, Dr. Davis, was just interested in what I was actually making.

After two hours I finally finished it. ( it looks like this )

(It was the only good picture of the thing I could find )
It was a knife but not just an ordinary knife, it was the sharpest and light weight knife I ever made. It was also quick in pulling the knife in and out.

" now that's a knife! " Dr. Davis said fascinated by it.

" looks interesting " Dr. Higgins said nonchalantly while her partner was about to jump from wall to walk.

" it very interesting how you used the carbon fiber with your invention " Dr. Davis said knowing what Higgins was going to say.

" it's not that interesting guys it's just a knife " I said blankly, not really meaning to sound mean. Before any of them could answer me, a bell ring through out the building signaling that it's time to go home.

' What? But it's been only two hours?' , I checked the time on my phone, 4:30 pm,

' well damn, I've been working the entire day. ' I thought while sitting there. I grabbed the knife, put it in my big pocket and left the building.

I walked into the apartment complex and went straight to the elevator. I hit the button and the elevator starts to go up, I hold the now invented knife in my hand feeling the metal. The elevator dinged and I got out and went to my room number, I unlocked the door and went inside, locking it back when I'm fully inside. I took my mask off and headed to the room still covered in boxes.

' I might as well clean this tomorrow since I don't have to work tomorrow. Tomorrow is shutdown. ' I thought while putting the knife on a desk and leaving to take a shower beg going to bed. After everything was done I put my glasses on the side table and laid in my bed. As sleep took over me I thought of what would happen in the future but before anything sleep had won me over.
