A Beauty With Multiple Masks

Where should I hide?

Arielle searched through the dark for a hiding spot.

“Why did the surveillance cameras malfunction all of a sudden? It had been years since the last incident.”

The footsteps were approaching closer and closer to the laboratory, which caused Arielle to clench her fists.

At the very last minute before they stepped into the laboratory, Arielle dashed for cover underneath a piece of machinery. The white sheet draped over the machinery conveniently hid her body as she held still with bated breath.

“Can’t we inspect it tomorrow? Professor Hoffmeister is way too cautious. All personnel here are our people. No thief could’ve snuck in,” the man complained as he hit the light switch.

When the lights flickered on, he crossed the room and stopped in front of the machinery. Lifting his head, he looked at the surveillance camera hanging from above.

“Stand on the machinery to get a closer look. What can you even see from here?”

Arielle was familiar with that voice, it was Morse.

At Morse’s advice, the grumbling man had no choice but to climb on top of the machinery to inspect the surveillance camera.

“It doesn’t seem damaged. What’s the problem then?” the man mumbled after a round of inspection.
