Im coming, the man shouted back.
The only response he got was a loud bang.
The person who called from the room violently closed the door. His voice was neither Loud nor low, but the sound of it made anyone at hearing distance realize that he wasnt a man to play with.
Obviously scared, Gatlin gulped loudly, and turned to leave without thinking twice.
Joey stayed quiet and watched him leave. He glanced at the front hall of the lab and considered going to the central control room to have a look. He was surprised when Gatlin unexpectedly took two steps forward, and then seeming to remember the little guy he was talking to, he turned back.

Kid. Gatlin was 1.75 meters tall, several heads taller than Joey, and had to bow his head to talk to him.
The child just raised his head, blinked his big eyes and kept his lips sealed.
You Gatlin Looked into his bright eyes and stopped talking. He paused and then sighed slightly, realizing something.
Forget it. You are so young. You must have surely come in here by accident. Who are you with? Where is your family?
He is drinking tea, Joey answered.
Drinking tea? Stunned, Gatlin couldnt speak coherently for a while.

.
It was obvious he didnt expect such an answer from the boy.
Joey nodded. He wasnt lying. Carson had indeed been tasting tea before he left. He wasnt good at that, though.
Your family trusts you so much that they let you run around alone?
Even if thats the case, you cant come in here however you please.
Youd better leave now, kid. Thinking that taking the elevator required a password or a work card, Gatlin took out his card and continued, You know how to get back right? Just go back the way you came in. This is my work card. You can use it and take the elevator.
Then, when youre done, you can put it into the basket beside the elevator and Ill get it.
Gatlin! The loud voice came from the central control room again.
Gatlin shivered. Seeing that he had wasted too much time already, he held the laptop tightly and whispered to Joey, Go back to your family, kid.
Then he turned around and trotted towards the central control room.
The card in his hands, Joey looked at it and finally saw the name.
It read Gatlin James.
Joey looked at the card and inspected it. He found a chip in it, then turned it and saw a small square board protecting the chip. The bottom of the chip was engraved with the name of the factory, using a laser.
That was when Joey saw that it was produced by the electronics company of the Sullivan Group.
When Joey saw the familiar name, he suddenly remembered what Carson and Lukas had said before they had set out. In thought, he pursed his thin lips into a straight line and frowned lightly.
