Chapter 7 - Keep it a secret for now

That man took the device which they referred to as the container from Jason. Unlike Jason's case where that container was implanted inside his arm, the container was used as an accessory in that unconscious girl's case. Placing the container on her hand was enough for it to start working.

"Her vitality is stabilizing. But it will take a few days for her to wake up," said that man.

"Then my work here is done. I will be leaving now. I will see you at the lab. Racheal is at the reception. She will come get you both after I leave."

"Ok, I will be opening the path. Go straight. It will lead you to the entrance you came in."

As Jason was leaving, he looked back one more time at that girl. A sense of relief was seen on his face. When he got out of the cave, he saw Fred and Thomas waiting for him.

"What happened to your arm, Jason?" asked Thomas as soon as he noticed the cut on Jason's arm.

"It's just a scratch. No need to worry. By the way, how did you get separated, Fred?"

"I don't know. I was just going forward when suddenly I didn't see you two behind me. Then I went back and somehow met Thomas," replied Fredrick.

"Then let's go back. Yosef and the others might be tired from waiting this long."

They went back to the dock where the others were waiting for them. After they met up, Thomas and Fred told them about their small discovery. Yosef looked at Jason's arm that was patched with a piece of cloth ripped from his shirt. From his expression, Yosef wanted to ask Jason about it. But seeing the sudden relieved expression on Jason's face, he didn't bother him anymore.

When they left the campsite, Jason went to the reception to check out.

"Was your visit this time to your satisfaction, Sir?" asked the receptionist with the name tag 'Racheal'.

"Very much," replied Jason.

After Jason left the reception, they all went to the train station. After boarding the train, they were talking about what they had seen.

"Let's not talk about what we saw to others," suggested Jason.

"Yes, I agree with that," said Yosef.

"Why not? Don't you think it will be a cool story to tell?" said Damian.

"If you don't want people to look at you the way we all looked at Fred when we woke us up, then you better keep your mouth shut," said Jason.

"It's certain that no one would believe us even if we told anyone," said Thomas.

"Then what are the plans after this? We go back to our normal lives like it wasn't anything?" asked Ashton.

"Is there anything else to do? Let's just keep it a secret for now," said Jason.

After they reached the station, they went their separate ways. Abbey and Damian got in the car with Yosef who would drop them to their home on the way. Ashton accompanied Thomas while Fredrick went with Jason.

Jason and Fredrick took a taxi. They got off in front of a shopping mall.

"Why did we get off here? Didn't you promise to explain everything to me?" asked Fredrick.

"We are just changing our rides."

They went to the underground garage. A car was parked at a corner. Jason brought out the keys from his pocket and unlocked the car.

"Why did you park your car here? Couldn't you have parked it at the station like Yosef and Thomas?"

"For no specific reasons actually. Don't waste time and get in."

After they got in, Jason drove the car to a cafe. There they waited for a moment.

"What are we doing in front of a cafe if we aren't here to buy coffee?"

"I would have bought some, but unfortunately I don't have any money on me right now. And seeing your reaction, your pocket is empty as well."

Suddenly a girl knocked on the car window. Jason unlocked the backdoor and the girl got in. A blonde girl, fair skin, judging by her looks she wasn't any older than them.

"Would you boys like some coffee? It seems I bought too much," said that girl while handing one coffee to Fredrick.

"What about me?" asked Jason.

"Buy your own coffee," she replied.

"What's going on? Who is she?" asked Fredrick despite enjoying the free coffee he just received.

"Fred, meet Sara and Sara, this is Fred. Sara here is a friend from work," same Jason as he started the car.

"Friend? don't..." Sara tried to oppose, but was paused by Jason suddenly hitting the breaks.

"My bad. There was a bump on the road," said Jason.

It wasn't too difficult for Fredrick to grasp the situation. But he didn't feel like asking anything about it.

After a one hour drive, they reached in front of a villa. A guy in a butler outfit was at the entrance of the villa. After they got out of the car, Jason handed the keys to the butler.

"Is this your place, Jason? I didn't know you were rich," said Fredrick. He was amazed to see such big villa and more amazed to know that it was owned by Jason.

"How long are you planning on standing there? Don't you want to get in?" asked Jason.

"Of course," replied Fredrick.

After they went in, Sara went to her room.

"Do you guys live together?" asked Fredrick.

"Something like that but not what you might be thinking."

Jason called in a maid.

"Her name is Julia. She will take you to the guest room. Go, get a shower and change your clothes. And don't get any funny ideas."

After Fred went to the guest room, Jason went to his room. After the shower and the change of clothes, he was at the library waiting for the two of them to come.
