To Call

In the heart of the expansive facility, General Stricker pressed on in his relentless quest to locate the elusive Dr. Vicks. The oppressive atmosphere within the dimly lit building was matched only by the intensity of his frustration. "Where in the world could he be?" he muttered to himself, the tension in his muscles growing with every passing moment.

It was an enigma that refused to yield its secrets, and the weariness was starting to creep into the Ikes accompanying him. "Maybe he's slipped out and is warning his friends by now," one of them speculated in hushed tones.

General Stricker took no thought of it and continued to search. He walked up the stairs that led to the second level of the building, with a new set of doors. With six doors on the floor, he barged through each of them, finding a pattern of a desk and lamp that was on the right side of the room.

"Where is Dr. Vicks?" he barked to the Ikes, who were trembling as he spoke.
