How Strange

" You wanna know, What price will you pay for it. And moreover, you look too young. How can I believe you are not a intruder.", He questioned after seeing the text in his phone.

Kate felt something off. She doesn't lose her mind with his words. " Sir, I know, I am younger than your staff requirement. I am not asking for me. I am a participant here. I came across a couple who said they lost their access card. They also tells that they work here. I was concerned about them and took them here. They are still waiting outside. If possible you can verify their identity with your staff system right. I can call them here for you.", She said whatever she wanna say in one go and was about to turn around to call them. The staff who she was talking interrupted her.

" I can't still believe you and your words. I got no time to waste with your blabber. If they are really our staffs, they should have long came here to look for the aid. Because the staffs really know how this place works. But based on what you say, it don’t seem genuine. Little girl, Listen carefully. This area have a lot of systematic rules in here. Also, The IEC is always the center o attraction of people from all over the world once it is commenced. As the entire process before finals are confidential, Many people try to intrude. You better leave this thing here. Moreover, I have errands to run. Don't waste my time.", He left there as if he was in a hurry.

"But... ", before she can complete, he disappeared from her site. "I felt that what they said was true. They looked exhausted and lost... What if they are new here and got lost.", She finished what she started but to the void space with no one in the sight of line.

She again looked back and forth pouting. She can't find anyone around. She can't keep waiting. Atleast the old couple can't. They may get hungry.... She thought for a second. She find no living person who she can talk to.

She felt that it is a waste of time to wait for someone to come there. It seemed like that building was abandoned completely. Though she find it really strange because the first day she came her, it was still buzzed with the people who were running all around with the stack piling work that almost make them insane. But now.. The entire building is like a deserted region with no sign of life.

“ It’s strange…. “, She mumbled to herself.

She looked one last time around the place before walking away.

“I better help them settle first before looking for the assistance from the committee.”, She decided on what to be done first even though she have a little doubts of her own which is making a havoc in her brain.

For a brief moment, what he said also made sense in it's way. But she have a gut feeling that they are not lying. That feeling grew stronger after seeing them waiting for her. Their look and their eyes spoke a lot to her. Been in the entertainment Industry for quite a while, she knows that even the great actors can’t pull out expressions that well. After all one can’t mask their true nature for that long with no flaw or without exposing themselves if not for true.”

She concluded, “whatever it comes, let it come. I am gonna help them settle first.”, With the determination, she walked towards them.
