***** Vol.7 Chap.8 A surprised meeting *****

With his cane, Elijah walked unsteadily down the corridor followed by Kristin who still had her mouth opened gaping at the walls and the compound she was in.

Elijah plodded on. Suddenly, he stopped and said, “Here we are.”

Kristin looked around, there was nothing but walls on both sides of the corridor. She was about to ask when she noticed a crack appearing at the wall. A door followed.

Elijah knocked.

“May we come in?”

“Please!”

That voice sounded familiar but Kristin could not place where she heard that voice before.

Elijah turned to her and said, “Come.”

He opened the door and walked in followed by a wary Kristin. As soon as she walked in, she was totally flabbergasted by the sight of her nemesis in front of her!

“You!” Kristin exclaimed!

She was shocked to see Frank sitting at a leather recliner. She was about to look for something to throw at him.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Upon seeing Elijah and Kristin walked through the door, Frank stood up immediately and walked over.

“I believe you both had met one another before…”

“Yeah, someone who suggested that I rammed my dolphins with my sub!” Kristin said sourly.

Frank was speechless. He was about to defend himself when Elijah held up his hand.

Elijah took the opportunity and said, “I must go and pick up one more person, please get re-acquainted…and smoothed out any misunderstanding.”

With that he turned around and walked out of the room. As before, the room sealed itself immediately after he left.

In his most apologetic tone, Frank again assured Kristin that he had no ill attention towards her dolphins. He was just shocked within himself that there would be a species of living creatures on earth that does not exhibit aggression.”

Kristin, still pouting, accepted what he said for now and calmed herself down.

“I think we have plenty of time to iron out our differences. But would you like to be more comfortable before I explained where I was coming from.” Frank said calmly.

“Table and another leather recliner please.” He said aloud.

Instantly, the furniture appeared.

“Kristin, have a seat. Make yourself comfortable.”

Kristin turned to look at him and mumbled, Of all people!

“Before I tell you my story, would you like something to eat? To drink?”

“Lemonade please.” She said aloud.

“Cappuccino, please.”

With their drinks in hand, Frank explained that he had been working with artificial creatures and with mutation and evolution, the results turned tragic every time.

Kristin finally calmed down after hearing his long explanations.

“Well, why do you bring me here? And what is this place? Some top government bunker?” She asked.

Frank shook his head. “I was brought here just like you.”

For the rest of the time, they both exchanged their life stories

They laughed at one another’s misfortunes and eventually realized that they were brought here by Elijah for some yet unknown grand schemes.
