13 A Desire For Revenge (2/2)
”Are we going underground?” Paul asked, looking around. The driver just ignored him and continued walking. After a long while, they came across a door. It was metallic with a small window. There was no knob or handle.
The driver pounded on the door. But it wasn't just regular knocking. It sounded almost rhythmic
-BOM. BOMBOM.BOM.BOM.BOMBOM.-
After the last two consecutive knocks, a voice appears from the door. It was a man's voice
”Who goes there?” the man asked.
”Agent #4587, sir,” the driver replied. ”Bringing Boss's request to door.”
”Password?” the man asked.
”45784587,” the driver replied. Then the door opened. A tall, slender man was standing there. He wore a black suit with a blue tie, accompanied by a pair of stylish glasses.
”The Boss is getting impatient. Please make haste following me,” the man said,
Upon hearing that, Paul and the driver scurried along. The room beyond the door was a sight to behold. There was an abundance of advanced technology. Big monitors. A myriad of switches, buttons, and levers. There were tubes full of liquid of varying colors.
”The Boss works in a... lab?” Paul asked, confused. He always thought the Boss worked in a tall building, conducting operations from behind the desk. A mysterious and strong man that looked down upon the city.
”Yes, it's for reasons that are classified. Just know this is what the Boss wished. And what he wished is not for us to question,” the tall man said.
The tall man led them to what seemed to be an elevator. He pressed a button and a robotic voice came from the elevator.
”To where?” the robotic voice asked.
”Top Floor. To the Boss,” the tall man said.
”Voice recognized. Location Confirmed. Prepare for opening,” the robotic voice replied.Then, the elevator opened. The three stepped inside and the door closed. The mood was tense among the three, but no one said a word. After a while, the door opened and a hallway stretched in from of them. There was only one door- a door at the end of the hallway. The sign on it read: Principal Department.
The tall man opened the door. A rush of intensity filled the air. It was like going into a completely different world.
”Boss, he's here,” the tall man said, bowing.
”Good, leave us be,” the Boss said. Compared to what can be heard from the monitor that Paul gets his orders from, the Boss had a rather scratchy and deep voice. His tone was of authority, as every word send shivers through everyone present.
”Yes, sir,” the tall man and the driver replied. They bowed and left. The tension got greater as only Paul was in the room with the Boss.
”I heard you lost to a high school student,” the Boss said suddenly.
”E-er...” Paul started to say, but his words got stuck. Talking to the Boss face to face was harder than communicating through a monitor.
”Was he that strong? For you to have fallen, it is quite rare,” the Boss asked.

”Y-Yes...But don't worry! I-I will defeat him! I swear,” Paul said nervously, but will confidence. ”I will make him pay for embarrassing me and this organization.”
”Tell me about him. What exactly transpired in that fight?” the Boss said, turning in his chair. He had smooth black hair, brown eyes with a scar on his right eye. He wore a black suit and a white tie. His demeanor was ten times scarier now that he's facing Paul.
Paul, struggling, told the Boss the events that led up to his arrest.
”Interesting... A sudden change in attitude, leading to an unexplained boost of power...” the Boss said to himself.
”B-But I will get him! I p-promise!” Paul said.
”I'm glad,” the Boss said. ”But before you go, let me ask you something. If I could make you stronger, what would you say?”
”I w-would be h-honored! I will do anything to kill that brat!” Paul said eagerly.
”Good,” the Boss said standing up. ”Come, I want to show you something.”
The Boss opened the door and Paul followed, ignorant of the big plan that is in store, and that he was just a pawn to a bigger goal.
