A Secret.

Jaden hurried down to the laboratory in his black, Highlander Hybrid. He had just received a message from the laboratory that someone had broken into the facility, and to his particular ward, room 137.

After parking at the front of the lab, he dashed out of the car and walked into the facility; hoping things were not as bad.

"You're welcome" the receptionist curtsied at the sight of Jaden.

"Thank you" he mouthed before he walked past her to the elevator. In no time, he arrived at the floor, and at room 137. He exhaled before he pushed open the door. About four persons were inside, two security guards, and two laboratory attendants.

"Oh, he's here" one of the attendants announced at the sight of him.

"We were just looking at the security foota..."

"...security footage?!" he cut in, wide eyed.

Them looking into the footage meant they would find out about the creature he had brought in, given that he had also concealed it from his co-workers to avoid unnecessary attention and stress to the creature.

"Yes, footage" one of them repeated, lifting a brow.

"Oh, guys, look, look" one of them called the attention of the others to the computer screen. It was a footage of the floor number.

"Oh, so there's none of this room?" Jaden asked, breathing of relief.

They all stared at him before returning their gazes to the computer system.

"Look, he's coming" one of them said as the guy in the footage walked through the lobby, and then he walked into the room. After some seconds, he walked out carrying a body in a sack. Then he picked a trolley and put the body in it before walking out.

"Hold on, take it back a bit and pause" the lab attendant said to the man who was controlling the footage, and the man obeyed.

"Zoom in on his face" he instructed again, and he was about doing so when they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Everyone turned their gazes to the door.
