After a few minutes me and Sol decided to go back inside.
I checked my email when I saw one new email.. From Nexus Void Company?.. Eh?
Mail: This is the NVC systems, we notice that you're capable of handling this case as your first report (Incident Report/IR-18). We expect you to comply! thank you!
Incident report huh? Well the company's system is really is helping isn't it? I want it in my home. I walk outside the office to ask the employees assigned to the files.
"Hello Saja! Can I have a copy of other IR reports? If so can I have the IR-1 to IR-18?" I ask politely smiling at her, she didn't speak though just nodded.. Kinda awkward but it's ok
"Here, are you the one who will iterate the report?" she asks as she handed me the thick folders
"ahh yes yes, the systems emailed me." I said while hovering through the papers in my other hand
"The last IR was soooo traumatizing, it's about that orphanage at dedmoor." she said, I can see her fear through her eyes
I heard about that incident but I didn't know this company actually handled that.. But that case is actually unresolved until now because of the entity that escaped. The 7 agents in the Secret team was sent there but only 5 didn't got badly injured..
As far as I remember one agent named Calusy Moor is KIA while the other agent named Alexander Shard was sent to pysch ward and until now is still recovering.. That incident was 6 years ago.. I can still remember it clearly well because I used to come at that orphanage and play with the children there.. All of them did not survive.. 21 children-
"Aria are you ok?" I came back to reality when Saja taps my shoulder, I smiled at her and nodded
I walk into my desk and pouts, I didn't know I'll open this topic again.. As I read the reports from 1-18 the last one really got me interested, I didn't know the whole story before because this case is already restricted due to the level of gruesome.. But reading the full details of reports of the survivor agents is sending me chills..
Am I really going to iterate this? Can I do that? I feel like I'm already involved before I didn't know I will feel more involved today.
Is this why the systems chose me to investigate this again? Does the system know I was there when the incident happened?
Well the actual truth is "I was there inside when the incident happened.." I was with dad that time when suddenly the children got all worked up, shouting, screaming, fighting and hurting each other.. As if something has triggering them.
I looked at my arm, there's still the scar of one child from the orphanage who's in rage that time, he stabbed my arm with a broken mirror glass. I thought that was my end already I'm just 15 that time.. Before I process what's happening that time my dad is already carrying me running for the both of our lives..
I feel a tear in my eyes as I got flashbacks from that day. Maybe this is why the system chose me, so I can give them justice and understand what really happen to the children-my friends.
"Are you done crying." suddenly I heard a cold voice infront of me, because I'm too drawn in the IR-18 I didn't notice that Mr. Vale has been standing there for like minutes now
I immediately stood up and vow my head
"I'm sorry sir! My emotions got the better of me-" he cuts my sentence off with a sharp threatening tone
"If you can't control and handle your emotion then you're not fit for that project. We are going to enter a abandoned orphanage that already become an asylum not a playground." he said glaring at me but still emotionless
I scoffed
"I'm sorry if I showed weakness sir, but I already made up my mind. I will do this." I said with determination and confidence
I know this would be hard but for my former family who's gone astray. I will uncover what gruesome thing happened to them that led them to that.
Mr. Vale only nodded and sat on his swivel chair and reads some papers again..
"Get ready tomorrow we will visit the orphanage, we will only visit for 4 days so get and observe everything you need in that 4 days, no extensions." He said coldly, I got confused for a moment
"You will accompany me?" I ask hesitantly, he only looked at me with his usual emotionless face, so grumpy.. But handsome but still grumpy!
"You think I'll let my weak employees endangered themselves? I know better than that."
I only nodded in agreement and started with another recap about the other details..
Mother... Ghost echo of children.. The drawing with a black figure holding a child's hand.. And a Daddy word in it.. What could these clues means..
It's already 3 pm when I decided to gather my belongings and ready myself to get home, Mr. Vale on the other hand asks me to make him coffee, I didn't put sugar on it as I notice his coffee already contained a right amount of sugar.
He took a sip and.. He looked at me confused
"How did you get this perfect taste of blend?" he asks as if he's not in his right mind, I exhale.. I'm glad he liked it
"uhm.." before I could answer he immediately hand sign me to leave
I face my back on him and rolled my eyes, not only grumpy but also salty.. Hmp!
I gathered my things and Mr. Vale told me to get home now because he doesn't need me here anymore. I bowed to him and leave the office. Outside there's only few employees are here, for me this company is really cozy it got the best lighting it's relaxing the employee especially if they are stressed or pressured about the job the atmosphere here is kinda nice.
As I walk inside the elevator, Sarlia is inside. I smiled at her but she ignored me again
"Are you enjoying your time with him?" Sarlia suddenly broke the silence
I got confused, I look at my side, left, up and down when I saw no one I pointed at myself confused, but she only rolled her eyes.
"Pardon?" I genuinely said confused
"Nevermind, such low people like you couldn't understand me." she said before leaving the elevator
I raised my eyebrow, what does she mean? I didn't even do something??
When I got home I immediately lay down at my bed and stare at the ceiling before closing my eyes
Tomorrow, I promise I'll uncover the truth behind that case.
