Cally arrived soon after. When she saw me, she became a little emotional. "Where have you been, Wanda? Why haven't I been able to get a hold of you? President Fredericks told me that something had happened to you in Limbia. I was worried sick."
I did not know what to say. I paused for a moment before responding to her, "It's kind of complicated. I’ll tell you the details next time. What happened here?"
Cally had a complicated look on her face." When the research institute was broken into, the things that were stolen were stashed away underground. When I found out, I was shocked. We’ve been working here for so long, yet no one had ever realized that the institute had a basement." This proved that my previous guess was correct.
I glanced over at Theo. I had previously noticed that the institute did not have a lot of structures and mentioned it to Theo. I asked him to get someone to take a look, but I did not know if he did.
"Let's take a look," Theo said.
We headed into the research institute. Elena said to the police officer, "This is President Grant of Grant Corporation. He's here to confirm the equipment and products that were taken from the institute."
"We need the person-in-charge of both companies to be present before we can enter."
Cally and I glanced at each other and said," We work for Fredericks Corporations. We're in charge of this project."
Ms. Cally showed him her permit.
The officer did not seem to think there was anything out of place and let us in. The equipment in the first-floor lobby remained the same. Once we walked out of the lobby and came to the back, we found that the equipment had been arranged neatly in a corner.
A door was facing us. It was not big and only seemed to be three feet tall and five feet wide.
"This door is opened by some kind of mechanism. Can you believe that?" Cally asked mockingly.
I did not believe it. These kinds of doors only seemed to exist in TV shows and movies.
