CHAPTER 6

Agency of National Affairs.

Conference room.

1:34 PM.

"Okay, so, morning to everyone. As you know already, we have this flower deteriorating case and the main purpose of this meeting is for an overview of how far we have gone. It's about our progress," then he took a deep breath and then went on, "Lucas, update us."

Lucas stood up and then he said, "Um, things are going well. I am mostly relying on a particular lab that is trying its best to find a solution. We have already gotten the chemical but the toxin that was used cannot be studied. After more research, we found out that it consisted of dark matter and dark energy. It came from Dark Laboratories."

"Hmm," Martin said rubbing his chin. "What exactly are you implying?"

"We can't study, sir. The only way to do this is by visiting Dark Laboratories."

"Okay, about that," he said, "Minister of Security." Martin called.

"Sir." The Minister of Security, Liam, stood up.

"As you have already heard, the toxin used is from Dark Laboratories. Your job here is to investigate Dark Laboratories and coerce them into finding an antidote. If they made it, they should have a solution."

"Okay sir."

"Anthony," Martin called. "Come out and explain your situation and your plan of fixing it."

Anthony stepped out looking like he had taken countless bottles of alcohol, the dark circles under his eyes made him look worn out. He didn't even look like a civilized Minister anymore, at this moment, Anthony was nothing more than a drunk worthless man.

"Good day everyone. As you have probably seen in the news, some robbers stole food from the food preservation center and they're currently on the run. I need the alliance of the Minister of Security to help me with this." Anthony said.

"What was wrong with the security?" Martin asked.

"Sir, I made it extra tight."

"Well, it already happened. There is no going back now. You may sit," Martin cleared his throat and then said, "Lucas, all that's left for you is finding a solution."

"Okay sir." Lucas said.

"Anthony, you tighten your security and continue preserving food."

Anthony nodded.

"Liam, you investigate Dark Laboratories and compel them into finding an antidote."

Liam bowed his head in respect.

"Anthony, how much food do we have left?"

"Enough for three months."

"Three?" Martin asked, shocked. Anthony nodded.

"Ok, Liam, you know how much time you have, three months. Same goes for you, Lucas. Lucas, Liam and Anthony, remember this, the fate of the world rests on your shoulders."

"Yes sir." They said in unison.

. . .

National Police Force.

3:49 PM.

"Good day." Liam greeted.

"Good day sir. How may I help you?" The receptionist asked.

"I would like to meet with the Head Officer."

"Appointment?"

Liam gestured for his personal assistant to attend to the receptionist, while he stood behind his personal assistant.

"You may come in sir."

The receptionist indicated the way to his office as Liam strolled over to the Head Officer's office. As Liam went into his office he caught sight of the Head Officer, Elon using his computer on his desk which was placed a few strides away from the door.

"How do you do, Mr. Liam? Elon inquired.

"Just fine. You?"

"Same old, same old. So, why're you here?"

"We need spies."

"Spies? For what?"

"Flower deterioration case. We need a spy to get information that may be valuable to us."

"Where will the spy be going to?"

"Dark Laboratories."

"They did this?" Elon asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yup."

"Okay, I will send the best spies. How many do you need?"

"Four."

"How much?"

"You can't save your country, in fact, the world without money?" Liam asked, shaking his head in disappointment.

"My assistant will discuss that with you." Liam added.

"Hmm," Elon smirked, "it is done."
