Michael, Elisa, and Robert Disappeared (Chapter 9)

In the previous Chapter 8,

Robert asks, "Now, it's my turn to ask you Joe are you, my buddy?"

Joe breaks into laughter. "If I am not your buddy then who is?"

Robert takes a look at Joe's arm. "Then where is the tattoo? You don't have that tattoo."

Robert takes his gunpoint at Joe. "Now tell me the truth."

Joe says, "Did you forget that we went together to do a removal of the tattoo."

Robert says, "No, that is something we have because it's a memory for us. I wouldn't agree to remove the tattoo. Just tell me who are you?"

Joe says, "Come on! You don't trust me now? We are together since our school days. Why are you like this?"

Robert says, "Do you know I feel you're weird and I believe those two also feel the same that's why they disappeared."

Joe says, "You said that I am weird but it's you who is behaving weirdly. Didn't you realize you have been avoiding my question you said you notice the man carrying a long sword is blind but even if he is blind his skills you wouldn't have escaped unharmed. There are no injuries to your body. I don't believe that and stop gunpoint at my face." (Joe hit Robert's hand so that he won't gunpoint him.)

Suddenly the train was struck by lightning for the second time. It causes both of them to sway left to right, front and back.

Joe manages to hold on to the wall.

While Robert was trying to grab onto something but he missed it.

Crash something drop. (It was fast action.)

Robert didn't manage to hold on to anything but crash some things on the ground. Robert fainted after he fell. (Something could have hit Robert's head.)

Joe sees something shiny, the colour yellow; it's 10 pieces of gold bars engraved 999 with 5 grams each.

It's solid gold. That's what Joe immediately thinks.

Joe sees this much gold he doesn't need to worry about anything if he brings this gold back home. (But hopefully, no one claims this.)

Joe quickly packs the gold into his bag.

Joe looks at Robert should I save him? If I don't save him that sounds like I'm a bad guy here. Joe shakes his head.

Joe holds Robert up and put him leaning on the wall. Joe thinks at least I am saved since he is unconscious.

Joe looks around he thinks he should tie Robert in case he wakes up and gunpoint him again.

Joe walks around, he looks at the walls. To his surprise, he looks at the walls.

There are weird diagrams on the paper it seems like some sort of experiment.

Joe finds it fascinating and he thinks it might be useful to look at it since he has nothing to do. Joe put it in his bag and continues to find a rope.

Joe lifts the box. Underneath its metal box, he opens it, there are thin mini tubes 5 of them. Its liquid crystal blue liquid form. Joe thinks the person who created this thing preserved it well. It might be something important. Joe quickly keeps it in his inner bag.

Joe thinks at this rate his bag will burst because it's too many things inside. Joe hopes he can find another bag so he can carry it in the front.

Joe thinks it now important is to find a rope to tie up Robert in case he wakes up.

Joe thinks maybe the other cabin with food and drinks has a rope since there are essential items there. Joe walks over to the cabin. Leaving Robert on the ground.

Joe thinks he should find a rope, lighters, and a bag since these are very important things now.

Joe remembers Michael found the food and drinks in this area and Elisa found her sanitary pad in this area. I found the weapons here.

That means this area should have rope and lighters. If the arrangement is in order. The person who arranges this has a sequence.

Joe quickly lifts the cartons to check if there is any rope.

Joe opens a box inside there is a bag, torch lights, and 3 ropes that are long.

Joe quickly takes the rope and goes where Robert is as he wants to tie him up. But Robert is not on the ground. Joe quickly shut the door.

Joe thinks maybe Robert leave the place or he could have been kidnapped.

Joe quickly grabs the bag in the box and packs the torch lights and the 3 ropes. He carries the bag in front.

Joe thinks now I am left alone here. I should see if there are any more food and drinks because he has to do night watch and the zombies might be back.

Joe thinks he should look at the weird diagrams on the paper to see if he can find a solution.

Joe sits on the floor and opens his bag to take out the diagrams paper and he opens the water bottle to drink.

It's shocking to him, that these zombies are man-made.

They are experimental research.

The cabin in which Robert, Michael, and Elisa disappeared is the lab. No wonder these papers are left there.

Then this place should be a storage room since there are essential items.

Joe read further and notice the whole thing doesn't incomplete it seemed there are missing pages or some parts missing.

Joe thinks that since it's incomplete there isn't anything to look at anymore. I am not a scientist or anything so no point in thinking too much. But what are the thin mini tubes 5 of them? Its liquid crystal blue liquid form.

Joe is very curious and thinks it should be related to this experiment but what is it for? Is it an antidote or to create more zombies?

Joe thinks he should be very careful since he is carrying on his back. If it leaks then he might be dangerous.

Joe thinks maybe he can find a plastic bag and seal the metal box of thin mini tubes 5.

Joe opens up other cartons and he realizes there are clothes and pants. Joe quickly changes.

Joe thinks this storage place is somewhat of a perfect place to hide if the zombies don't come here.

But Joe knows it won't be long before the zombies will come to the place where he is. The food and drinks will run out in no time. He still has to find a way.

Joe thinks he should repack his bags. Joe thinks he should keep some clothes and pants just in case.

Joe quickly packs the food and drinks in the bag in front to carry with the clothes and pants.

The backpack is the metal box of thin mini tubes 5, torch lights, and the 3 ropes. He also packs 10 pieces of gold bars. There is space if there are any more things to put it in.

Joe keeps the diagrams paper in his pocket. Joe thinks if he can find out more about it could solve the mystery and he might be able to get out.

Joe thinks later he will check again to see if it's safe to enter the next cabin where Robert, Michael, and Elisa went missing to see for any clues to find them.

There must be something I missed out on! They wouldn't have disappeared in thin air. There must be something that brought them out.

Joe belts up the weapons on his body and carries the two backpacks. Joe takes some food to eat and drinks. He sits on the floor he feels tired and he falls asleep.

After some time passed, Joe woke up. He heard some sounds.
