Iscehznut - A Wild Escape

Zara is back

"This is...", Dr. Arnar paused his sentence in mid-air as he seemed startled. Aiden waited for him to resume his statement but there was no response from Arnar who was still observing the mysterious sample that was lying in front of him. "Ar, what is with the uncertainty in your face?", Aiden asked, looking at him, puzzled. "This is not something you get to look at daily", Arnar held his magnificent lens in his hand and closely analyzed the particles. "What is this exactly?", Aiden's curious question made Arnar look up at him. "I don't know, this is something odd. I haven't seen such dense molecular particles in my whole space life!", Arnar said, scratching at the back of his head. "Ar, YOU DON'T KNOW?", Aiden looked at him with wide eyes. "How can you not know about it, you're DR. ARNAR! You know almost everything in this universe, then why not this…", he asked Arnar whose face was a big question mark. "Not this one, Aid. I haven't seen such an odd thing before. Where did you get this from?", Arnar asked, examining it. Aiden was lost in his thoughts for a mere astrosecond, standing there frozen in his place. "AID!? AID????", Arnar wobbled him slightly to get his attention. "Ah! Sorry, what were you saying?", Aiden asked as he came out of his thoughts. "I asked, where did you find this particle?", Arnar quoted his previous question again. "Um... I can reveal that but it's supposed to be a secret between us, got it?", he asked for Arnar's assurance. Arnar nodded his head in positive and waited for his explanation curiously. "I was hit by a strange weapon during this Khafa mission and this is the sample collected from the damaged parts of Ora Speedy's fuel tank. Lucy did a database check on this material and the weapon but there was no registry for this one.", Aiden filled him with all the details about the attack and glanced at him for a response. Arnar looked at him in utter shock without any reaction on his face. 

"Aid, does the President know about this attack on you?", Arnar asked him with a serious look. Aiden shook his head negatively, "No! I don't want him to worry about this one because we don't even know if this is an actual threat…", explaining his action. "Ok...if you say so", Arnar nodded at him. "Do you think you can get me a report on this sample when I return from my vacation?", Aiden asked, hoping for a positive reply. "I'm not sure, Aid, but I can definitely try", Arnar said to him as he packed and sealed the sample for his analysis process. Aiden smiled and nodded at him, "Thank you, Ar. Just keep it a secret for now". "Yeah, I can do that. Enjoy your holiday, Aid! Get back with your refilled energy.", Arnar said, winking at Aiden, who had a wide grin on his face. 

The next day, Aiden dressed up in his favorite casuals. He got out of his house which was located on the special allocation for the supreme authorities of Orano planet, with his luggage trolley. He paced through the high-securitized electronic subways to Aldric's abode. A digital security scanner dwelled just a few steps before him. He stood before it for a regular security checkup to get inside. 

"HI MR.STRANGER!"

"PLEASE VERIFY YOUR AUTHORIZATION TO STEP INSIDE HONOURABLE PRESIDENT MR. ALDRIC'S ABODE"

The tech security lock's robotic voice echoed through the Subway elevator. "This is Aiden Jack, Senior Outerspace Mission Expert, A Grade", Aiden said, confirming his badge identity. 

"HI MR. AIDEN JACK!"

"SCAN YOUR AUTHORIZATION CARD FOR ENTRANCE"

Aiden was notified to scan his access card which was issued by the Orano Planetary Government for higher authorities' legitimate entry purposes. He dug his hand in his jean pocket and pulled out his card. He presented the card in front of the code scanner for authorization approval. 

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!

"AUTHORIZATION CARD VERIFIED"

"ENTRY ACCESS POSITIVE!"

The shiny silver door slid on either side leaving way for entry. Aiden stepped inside the lounge and saw few officials waiting there. "Hey, bae! I heard that you're leaving to Almonda planet for your vacation?", A soft feminine voice came from his back. He turned in its direction to see the person. "Zara!", Aiden exclaimed, looking at the hot and sexy girl leaning on the wall near the elevator. 

Zara, the senior secretary and PA of President Aldric. She is a cluster of fierce and beauty. Every single man in the room drools at this walking beauty but what an irony, she drools at Aiden. Well, to be exact, Aiden is her one and only crush from childhood. Aiden's only female best friend is Zara. He shares almost everything with Zara and Kevin. These three together are one hell of a combo. "Missed me?", she winked, walking close to him. Aiden giggled and shook his head. "No, I didn't even a bit!", Kevin's voice came from behind her and Aiden burst out laughing at them. "Oh!! That's so f***ng mean, Kevin!!!", she turned and gazed at Kevin, twitching her mouth. "Well, we had better duties to do rather than missing the so-called 'TROUBLE', you know", Kevin mocked and laughed at her. "ugh!!!", she said in irritation, rolling her eyes at him. Both the boys winked at her and clashed a hi-fi. "Fine, fine! When are you boys leaving?" she asked, looking at them. "In a few hours" Kevin's enthusiasm was so evident in his words. "Can't you join us? We did lie when we said we didn't miss you…", Aiden asked her and she genuinely smiled at his words. "I know, Aid. But you know job comes first", her words brought a disappointed look on Aiden and Kevin's faces.

All the three always hung out together enjoying each other's company. A few astro days before Zara went on an Official meeting to Victra Planet, Orano's Neighbour. She is a busy one among the three as she handles almost everything related to President Aldric. 

"We do want you to come with us but my dad won't survive without you", Kevin said and all the three burst out laughing. "Oh! Son, I can handle it pretty well without her because now I have my super senior PA on board", Aldric's powerful voice filled the lounge as he walked down the stairs. "My mom is back in town too, President?" Zara asked out of curiosity. Aldric nodded at her with a smile on his face. "Which means...", Aiden was about to ask something who was interrupted by Aldric's strong voice, "YES! She gets to join you both for the vacation". A wide grin appeared on both the boys' faces and Zara stood there frozen in happiness overload. "Seriously, President?", she asked again because she couldn't believe his words. Aldric nodded positively, assuring her. All of them cheered happily filled with enthusiasm. "Wow, this is gonna be a deadly vacation for us", Kevin mocked her playfully. "Have fun guys! Contact me if you have any issues, got it?", Aldric asked and all the three nodded, assuring him. 

BRUUUUUUUHHHH!!

THUUUUUUUUUDD!

Aiden's interconnected e-port earpiece started buzzing. He touched it and someone from the other side notified him. His facial expressions began to change quickly. He was upset and tensed, hearing from the other side. "WHAT!?? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?" he yelled in confusion. Zara and Kevin sensed a problem in his expression. "I'M COMING THERE..."
