“Can someone please explain what’s going on here? How come you know Mrs Walcott as Mrs Beatrice?” Kyle asked.
“You still don’t remember me.” Bella mom said.
Mrs Walcott tried picturing her face as if she has seen her before. That was when her husband, Mr Walcott, killed the suspense.
“I remember you, Susan, my wife may not, but I know all my workers.” Bella got shocked seeing Mr Walcott calling her real mom the name Susan.
“Oscar, look, someone has a good memory of us at last.” Susan gave a faked laugh.
“Can you go straight to the reason you want us here? I can’t be listening to introducing for more than ten minutes, please,” Theo said out loud; Lisa held his hands, trying to calm him down.
“Theo, do you have any clue?” His mom asked.
“Mother, let’s hear from the horse’s mouth, and don’t be in a rush.”
“It all begins the day my husband and brother got a job at your husband lab when he was working on a particular project.”
Flashback.
“Susan, we are home; where is Candy, my sweet daughter?” Oscar asked.
“Daddy, I am here; I hope you got chocolate me.” Yes, dearie.
“Oscar, brother, how was it?”
“Oh sister, you worry too much; we got the slot already; we are working with Mr Louis Walcott; this is good news; we are going to be rich.”
They all celebrated by shouting and dancing; Candy is Oscar and Susan first daughter after marriage; she was just four years old but brilliant, she is wiser than a ten years old kid.
Whenever Candy is on holiday from school, she loves going with her father and moms brother to the lab; she wished to have her own when she grew up, a significant dream.
A few months later, the project was going well, but on a faithful day, something happened that was tragic.
“Mummy, I want to go with daddy to the lab today.” Candy disturbed mom, who was busy making breakfast for her husband, brother and her brother newly wedded wife.
“Oh Candy, go and read your book please, what do you know about this lab? You are still a kid; all you need to be doing now is to learn your letters of alphabets and spellings very well.” Susan tried convincing her child.
“Mummy, I have finished reading my books, please, mom, let me go with them, please I want to stay with daddy.”
“Oh Christ, you such a headache; who will look after you there? Daddy and uncle will be so busy at work today; today is kind of unique and important; okay, you need to be home.”
“Mummy, I can take care of myself please; I promise I won’t cause trouble there; you know I am obedient, please mummy”. She started crying out so loud that it attracted Oscar, her father.
” Candy, stop crying please, you want daddy to hear you? and scold me, right?”
“What’s happening here? And why is my precious gem crying.”
“Daddy, the mummy, doesn’t want me to go with you to the lab; I will be bored at home; I have finished reading all my textbooks, please, dad.” She gave her father the puppy eyes, and he fell for it.
“Susan, why don’t you let her come with me? You will have plenty of time to rest; what do you think?” He held his wife close.
“I know about that, Oscar, but today its a great day for you; who will be looking at her when everyone will be busy?”
“Candy, your mom just made a point.” Candy grumbled.
“Do not worry, I will be there too, so I would keep her company.” Susan brother wife named Jane said, smiling at them.
“Oh, thank you so much, Jane, I guess you just made her so happy, but what I don’t understand about kids these days is the fact that they don’t ever give up till they get what they are looking for.”
“You are right sweetheart, that’s how we all are supposed to live in this life, do not give up till you finally get it.”
They all laughed and got ready to eat before leaving the house to the lab.
Candy had to wait with Jane when the leader of their groups was busy addressing them about the importance of today goal to achieve and how also they are to make the Walcott proud and happy; they should also think of the payment coming in after It.
When he finished it, he told them to start their job; everyone went to their various department.
Everything was going as planned, but one of the time, machines started beeping so loud.
One of the workers had to check it and did some things to it, then it finally stopped.
They went on a break, the alarm beep out so loud again; this time around, it showed danger sign.
“What exactly is happening? I thought everything is fixed, and we all are ready to continue?”
“Sir, I am shocked at this, but we are going to try our best to stop the problem from spreading.”
“I take your words then; let’s fix it up and make it work, but why are we few whose kid and wife is that sleeping there?” He pointed at the directions they were sleeping.
“Oh Candy, Oscar child, and the lady is Benjamin newly wedded wife; the kid always loves coming here.”
“Oh, I see, but I can’t find Oscar and Benjamin; I hope whatever they are doing now, it’s related to this job at hand?”
“Yes, boss, they are diligent at what they do.”

“No way, this can’t happen, the experiment can’t fail, no way, I followed the right procedure.”
“You idiots, I thought it’s just something you can fix, as you said earlier; call me Ben.”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
One of the workers rushed to him, saying, ” Sir, we need to shut down before it gets worst; 30% left already, sir.”
“What, no no no, terminate everything, shut down all and let’s evacuate the building.” The boss screamed.
They tried to shut down when an explosion occurred.
