Hopes In The Deadly Winter
To Us —
After the children are brought to their own rooms.
The professors began tightening security and conducting an emergency meeting in a special room inside the tower.
The meeting was held by 8 Professors with the highest rank and equal.
The meeting room is on the 7th floor and on the floor that has the tightest security in the building, because on that floor there are important files and secrets that are at the same level as state secrets.
The meeting also began with Professor Kevin, a Dr. and Chairman who was chosen by “Nya” to run this NEPTO project.
“I've ordered them to tighten security so we can live this meeting quietly”.
“Hah?! With calm? How can I calm down if an explosion just happened inside the Tower?! Especially in the presence of children too!”, Angry one of the female professors named Melina with fear and anger for something.
“BANK ONLY THEM!” A professor named Andrius also heated the atmosphere in the room..
Profs. Melina and Kevin then saw the guy.
“If We move outside the Tower, it will go against his orders!”, Snap back Kevin against that Prof.
Andng!
Another professor slammed the books on the meeting table and scolded them gently.
“This meeting is not done to grumpy”, explained the professor named Julian, while staring at them coldly.
“That's right, we shouldn't have to get angry but figure out how the explosion could have happened inside the Tower...." Said prof. Dion to another prof.
They all thought immediately.
"Do you think anyone can do it without our knowledge and detected by our security?”, continued Prof.Dion in a serious tone.
Another female professor named Yela then raised her hand.
“I don't know how but I feel that this is the FBI Member's doing”, Duganya.
Andrius interrupted Yela's words.
“But how? Just because he faced her so often, that doesn't mean he can track us all the way here!!?”, Andrius explained firmly.
Profs. Kevin and Melina looked worried and they looked at each other, but at once Melina remembered something and raised her hand.
Melina thought this was the awakening of a child who had not detected the process in the crowd, because just before the explosion happened a child named Amber had called her and reported that they were fighting.
“I think this is the act of Tempest and Vino-“, Not yet finished speaking, Andrius immediately cut off the words Melina.
Profs. Kevin thought what Melina was going to say was the same as what she thought, but it wasn't.
“Jeez Melin, we all know the subject has not gone through the process *Awakening*they are only with a little torture not necessarily they can rise again, you know it is because many fail is not it?”, but they are not, Clearly Andrius was scraping his ears.
Hearing Andrius' reply made Kevin, Yela and Melina growled, Yela then threw her Book firmly into Andrius's face.
BRaakk!
And Andrius' nose was bleeding.
“I told you... First of all, don't mention the children as subjects... Secondly, their Awakening process we cannot detect and thirdly, who is torturing them?! If you say that again I will cut off your hand”, Angry Yela.
Andrius who was holding his bloody nose then looked at Yela with pity and mocked her.
“Pffft—Listen to me here witch, We all know what we did to those Subjects, so stop being sympathetic if you still torture them”, Andrius explained disappointedly.
“Stop that, you know what's going on here so don't be fierce”, Jerk Julian to Andri.
Two of the three professors who were silent finally came to talk because Andrius was still not silent.
“I thought, We should not only raise the security level of the building, but also the level of our brain”, Ejek another professor named Swishell to Andrius and to other professors.
“Sorry what?”, Ask Prof. The one named Cecil with an awkward tone because he felt himself indirectly insulted.
“I mean, what if Melina's guess is right? If this is the result of a child awakening that we cannot predict then we all know where this will go”, he explained.
The other professors started thinking about it.
The other professors started thinking again, but Yela and Kevin were troubled by the flow of this meeting.
They both felt worried because if they did what one room thought, this would have a bad impact if in fact their guesses were wrong.
“But what if our guess is wrong?”, Yela said.
Profs. Swis then raised his hand.
“How about we see CCTV footage in the park first, maybe we can find out who and how the explosion happened”, said Swis.
After hearing Swis' words, Julian started scratching his ears and turned his head in the other direction.
“What's with Jul?”, Ask Kevin.
“Eum, you know what pretend to forget that there is no security camera in the park?”, he replied with a faint laugh.
The other professor immediately remembered that there were no security cameras there.
Because the first time the choice was recommended, They all felt the Park area did not need to be monitored because it was close to the Canteen where it would certainly be guarded, which is very close to the canteen, because there are some guards who often rest in the canteen.
“I think this is our fault too, so it might be a good idea to start installing a security camera in the park to avoid this kind of incident again... Anyone want to add something?”, asked Kevin to another professor.
Kevin saw that no one wanted to extend this meeting again and would end the meeting, but shortly Andrius raised his hand.
“Then what about 2 Sub-I mean those two kids?”, asked Andrius with heart2 because it was almost a slip.
"We process them", Reply Dion firmly.
Yela immediately looked at Melina and Melina replied while shaking her head.
“We should do it”, Kevin said with a serious look.
Swis and Julian then nodded, before long Cecil was forced to agree too.
“Hhhhh I don't want this project to fail... I agree with Dion”, replied Cecil.
(I'm sorry kids) Cecil said inwardly.
Inevitably they also have to do it for the smooth running of the project they are doing.
“Alright, Then the meeting this time ends here, Julian you will overcome the installation of the camera in the park, then Yela-not Switzerland and Cecil, I will hand Vino and Tempest to you”, Obviously Kevin.
“Haah?! Why akh—, Alright, a-I understand” Reply Cecil with disappointment.
Swis could only nod and then come out first from the room leaving the others.
Soon the other professors also came out and left Melina and Yela there, after only the two of them stayed there...
Yela started to open her voice...
“but what if this fails again?”, Tanya Yela anxiously.
Melina could only endure her fear.
“We can not do anything Yela, sure enough hopefully this is true”, Rigid Melina while patting Yela's shoulder.
Yela clasped Melina's hand and swallowed the bitter truth.
“Tell that to yourself, Melin”, Reply while holding back tears.
Yela then walked out of the room and left the grieving Melina alone in the room.
