Mysteries of Riverwood

Chapter 28 :- Abandoned Lab

Must be someone who is working with Doctor, I nodded in agreement, silently acknowledging my willingness to follow him. As we ventured further, my eyes widened in astonishment as I beheld the sight of nine more individuals, all dressed in black attire. It became apparent that the man I had followed was not alone, but rather part of a larger group.

Jeez, just look at these guys. They seriously look like they look like they are recruiting people for jail or something.

I stood there, feeling a mix of uncertainty and anticipation, as one of the men approached me, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "Well, well, what do we have here? Are you serious, Robert? This kid is our last member?"

The man who I followed, I guess he must be Robert.

Robert confidently declared, "Yes, this kid is our last member." However, as I approached, I couldn't help but notice the disdainful look in his eyes, as if I were some kind of germ or bacteria. He scanned my appearance from head to toe, making me feel uneasy.

Like seriously, this dude was eyeballing me like I was a walking petri dish, giving me the full-on inspection from head to toe. I swear, I must have looked like the latest strain of fashion flu or something to him.

As I glanced to my right, I couldn't believe my eyes - there were 11 police officers sprawled out on the ground. No wonder I hadn't seen any cops patrolling around there, those guys had taken them out.

Finally, Robert broke the silence and commanded everyone's attention. "Okay, guys, since we're all here, let's begin the mission. Our objective is to infiltrate the Blood Moon Grove forest and locate an abandoned lab. We need to retrieve some crucial chemicals from there. I'll provide each of you with sample photos."

Robert distributed the photos of the chemicals, and I received mine. My task was to find the blue chemical, which was located in room R-31. I carefully tucked the photo into my pocket, feeling a little nervous.

With a commanding tone, Robert instructed us to follow him. We obediently trailed behind him, effortlessly leaping over fences as we made our way towards our destination. As we approached, my eyes widened at the sight of three sleek black Honda Accords parked nearby without their number plate that was odd. Everyone quickly hopped into their respective vehicles, and I found myself in the last one. I settled into the back row, feeling a surge of anticipation coursing through my veins.

Robert took his place in the driver's seat, and with a confident rev of the engine, we set off on our mission.

After driving for a few minutes, Robert turned to me and spoke, "I am Robert, nice to meet you."

I calmly replied, "I'm Alvin, it's nice to meet you too."

Robert then mentioned, "I've heard a lot about you from Elizabeth."

My eyes widened with surprise, and I asked, "Oh, really?"

He nodded and continued, "She told me that you're quite strong and you were able to take down her bodyguards in just a few minutes."

I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Yeah, I'm sorry about that," I said, looking down.

Robert leaned back in his seat and said, "So, any questions?"

I quickly responded, "Yeah, since we're going into the woods, what kind of threats could possibly be there?"

With a serious expression, Robert replied, "Bears or some wild animals, and there might be some officers and spies too, since they know we're coming. We have to be careful."

I don't get it, like if they already know we're coming, why don't we just go on a different day? It seems pretty straightforward to me. I nodded, taking in the information, and said, "Alright."
