And with Richard Flare, he was entering a high rise building in New York, wearing his regular three piece suit. He gets out of the car, and looks at the tall building in front of him, and the oddly shaped building looks different from the simple architecture of other buildings and stands as a standoff. He looked at the top of the building, and there was a logo of a company, twin snakes coiling on a cross.
He entered the building with a look of indifference in his eyes, his bodyguard following him, the receptionist tried to say something but one bodyguard stood in front of him stopping her.
Flare reached an elevator, and told his other bodyguards to stop, and only one of his bodyguards entered the lift, and the lift gave a mechanical sound, and it automatically started to rise.
The lift stopped on the top floor, and he entered what looked like a lab area. He saw several researchers in lab coats walking around doing the research and the environment was really harmonious. He ignored them like they didn't exist and entered what looked like the main office. The office was well decorated, and looked very lavish. The walls have several degrees and rewards in the field of science and medicine, and he saw in the corner there was a poster of Krish's movie that was freshly released, and then he shifted to the figure sitting in an advanced wheelchair.
He stood there looking at the back of the figure who was looking outside at the high rise buildings outside, his figure giving a deep sense of mystery and curiosity, and in the table in front, a name plate was placed, and the name in the nameplate read - [ Charles Carlton Jr. ]
" Have you ever wondered how the world would look if it had no illness or disease?" Said the man in the wheelchair.
" I didn't, but I'm sure your company won't be in that world." And the man in the wheelchair laughed.
" Neither did I." And the figure in a wheelchair stood up, and turned. Richard was surprised, but due to his profession, he calmed himself down and asked.
" You can stand now!" And the man in the wheelchair smiled.
" All thanks to you Mr Richard." And he went close with long strides, his movement having a sense of disharmony.
" Me? All of America should thank Dr Carlton. You have done an excellent job in research and medicine. And I'm really sorry about your brother Carlton Reed, he was a hero of America, he shouldn't have died in a place like Basra, I can reassure you that we'll soon find out who's the real culprit behind it." He said consoling words, and his face didn't show any condolences, they had a judging look instead of looking at Dr Carlton in front.
" Call me Carl if you like, Mr Richard, Dr Carlton was my father, and I'm young, we don't have much age difference. And my brother, I respect his choice, he wanted to dabble in the military like my grandfather and father, may God bless him, and bless America." And Richard could feel the hidden meaning in it, this guy is definitely not a good guy.
" Ok Mr Carl, is this the reason you called me?" He said looking at his legs and arm. And Carl sees that, his expression not changing.
" Yes and no!" and he turned and walked in the direction of his personal lift.
" Gentleman, you should follow me." He said entering the private elevator first. Richard looked at him for a moment and then followed, his single bodyguard right behind him.
Richard entered the elevator and saw Carl bending down a bit looking at the Retina scanner. And maybe he looked a little longer and Carlton noticed that.
" I just haven't got the time to fix it." And he stood up, dusting his shoulder. And Richard didn't reply, just looked around. It was a special lift, made for someone like Charles Carlton specially, and now he probably won't need that, and soon a blue scanning laser scanned the trio from head to bottom.
" It's checking for bugs or anything that should be there, we don't want our conversation to leak, do we.." Carl said with a smile.
Soon the lift stopped on the underground floor, and Carlton, who was a little excited and proud, explained.
" This is my lab, the company's biggest and most secretive one." And Richard looked around, and it was really big. It was the size of a small football field, he could see several figures in white lab coats walking around doing their stuff, and in front of each lab was a man with a submission gun.
" The whole lab is built in an old abandoned nuclear bunker, made during the Cold War." and they walked on a surface made out of glass.
" The whole lab is the size of a small football field, sixty feet deep, and cost me quite a lot back then." The corridor and the whole laboratory was made out of one sided glass, able to become tinted or visible anytime, and some of the lab has experimented hard to describe. Human, animal and everything you could think of, and this area was not as welcoming as the lab above.
" And as you can see, here we do what we call, don't let the light of the day see it. The whole area is guarded 24/7, Sentries in each room and corner, the whole lab and except for some things all are transparent, as you can see by the glass walls and structure. They are specially made high destiny glass able to withstand earthquakes below level 7." And soon they reached the end of a lab area which was totally different from others. It was locked with a code and his wall was made of titanium and there were two Santries guarding the door. They didn't look at the visitor, and Carl easily opened the safe door.
And after opening it he said in a grand manner his hands waving unprofessionally.
" Welcome to my world." And they entered what looked like a closed laboratory filled with human size tubes. Richard didn't pay any attention to other tubes in the side, but looked directly at the tube in the middle, where a half burnt corpse was floating in liquid solution.
" Let me introduce you." And he waved his hand.
" Mr Richard meets Dr Arya, and Dr Arya meets Mr Richard Flare, he is leading your case against your former colleague Dr Mehra." and Richard didn't paid his nonsense any attention and looked around, and in several life size tubes where different lumps of meat and different indescribable creatures, and for a moment he was glad that the liquid was not that transparent.
" So what did you find? I hope it's as interesting as you said, there are a lot of people who want to meet Dr Arya, and keeping him here is really difficult." and Carl didn't take this word to heart.
" You are right, this guy is really a money grubber, but what did they say? You stew the cow, now you have to carry the pot." And he walked in the corner where a computer was, and began to explain.
" One year ago when the American military got the remains of Dr Arya, many forces in the know bid for it, and I was among them." And he started to do something on his computer, and Richard carried the conversation.
" There was a storm, and you were lucky and had the connection needed." and he looked at his back, which was sitting in front of a huge monitor.
" Hmm! Carlton has his words in the military I guess." and he was now done opening what he was looking for.
" Now, let me show you my research then." And he presses a button. And Richard saw three tubes on the wall move, the liquid inside started to drain, and a new clear liquid started to pool in. Richard took a step back, and he saw inside the tubes were three people, one female and two male, and they were of different ethnicities.
" Took me a while and several attempts to make them. Meet Akbar, Bong, Cecilia and Danial, not their names of course but you got the picture." And Richard went to give a close look. And he saw a woman's face clearly now, it was a beautiful Russian face. And when he looked closely, she opened her eyes, and Richard took a step back.
" Isn't she beautiful?" And when he turned, he saw Carl standing behind him.
" It was quite a headache making them workable." and he asked after looking them in the eyes.
" There are only three."
" Yeah, Akbar has a little problem so you know."
" How much?"
" Well, if we are talking about money, they are priceless, and if we are talking about strength they should not be underestimated, but there is a fundamental gap in strength and level with him." and a look of admiration appeared on his face.
" I'm not asking about that, I'm asking can they check Krish." And Carl laughed.
" You think too much, I created them out of hundreds of test subjects, their genes are unstable, you'll be lucky if they survive adulthood." Richard didn't look happy.
" We have spent billions on this, and you have these three as products?" And Carl laughed.
" Mr Richard, you may have watched too many movies these days. This is research on a subject that literally holds the key to evolution, it's so advanced that we didn't even know it excited before it was discovered. It's impossible to make something from this incompleted body or a clone." And Richard's gaze hardened.
" You may have forgotten that it was Dr Arya who invented it from scratch," And Carl just smiled.
" Then why don't you let me revive him then." And Richard gave him a weird and sceptical look, and Carl seeing this waved his hand exaggeratingly.
" Forget it, forget it, it's just my fantasy." And waved his hands again. And Richard once again looked at the three test subjects.
" So what more do you want?" And after hearing this, Carl smiled.
" Not much, not much." And he sat on a table with one leg making himself comfortable.
" I just need Krishna's blood." And his eyes have that look of greed that you'll see on a madman. And Richard after hearing this, looked at him like he saw a madman.
" Did you lose your mind?" And Carl laughed again.
" No! I mean, didn't you challenge him to come to court? You are a half politician, I don't need to remind you how you can get the blood of him." And Richard looked at him with calculating eyes.
" It's not easy." He mutters, half agreeing to this. And after hearing this, Carl clapped his hand.
"Great, if you need my assistance, I can lend you any one of them for protection if you want, they are one hundred percent loyal." And he pointed at Cecilia.
" And if you want, they can make a little noise in the UN and-" And Richard raised his hand Intrupting him midway .
" No need, we need to hide this research from the world." And after hearing this Carl once again laughed..
" Why are you laughing Mr Carl?" And Carl controlled his laugh.
" Who gave you the illusion that we are the only ones doing this? And you really think Krish is the biggest problem for you right now."
