Nicole produced a knife out of nowhere and stared at Carl.
"If you don't believe me, you can go ahead and try cutting yourself."
"Come on, do you think I'm that stupid?"
"You don't seem very smart, either."
Nicole sheathed her knife and walked into one of the office rooms.
There, she caught sight of someone she knew, and without hesitation, she walked over and tapped the
person on the shoulder.
"Nicole!?"
Kelly whirled around and shouted out in surprise at seeing Nicole.
"What are you doing here?" Nicole asked, her eyes fixed on what Kelly was holding.
"Nothing much.Just getting something done for Mr.Wyance.When did you get here, by the
way?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмKelly said, happy to see her.
"I just arrived and here I am, bumping into you!" Nicole replied and smiled.
Kelly responded with a giggle.
"You don't ever get bored working here, do you?"
Nicole looked at Kelly.
"Not at all.I've got to say, each day is a fulfilling one, as there is so much for me to do,"Kelly replied,
though she looked knackered.
"You won't have to be here tomorrow," Nicole said.
"Come over to the hospital and help me out by taking care of an elderly person."
"The hospital? Sure! I'll be happy to be with you no matter where."
Kelly smiled.
"Where is Martin?"
"I think he is in his office up above."
"Okay.I'll go check on him."
Nicole headed upstairs.
"I'll leave you to it, then."
As the door to the office was open, Nicole walked right in.
When Martin saw her, he beamed.
"You didn't tell me that you were coming."
"I've got nothing better to do, so why would I tell you in advance? Besides, surprise visits like these will
allow me to see if you are slacking off."
Nicole smiled and walked in, after which she took a seat.
"Allow me to introduce, this is my friend, Carl, and this is Martin, whom I've just mentioned to
you,"Nicole said, introducing the two men to each other.
"I've heard a lot about you."
Carl looked at Martin with a smile.
Martin responded in kind.
"Hello."
"Martin, he didn't believe me when I told him that The Beacon was good, so I'd like you to give him a
demonstration."
Nicole eyed Martin with her eyebrow raised.
"Sure."
Martin grabbed The Beacon on his desk, and looked around for a mouse on which he could test the
device.
"There are no mice here.Let's go outside and look for one."
Then, the trio marched out of the room and headed downstairs together.
‘How could there be mice in the factory when there aren't even rats?' Martin thought, anxious for
something he could test his invention on, but when he heard a scream, he rushed over to the source.
"What's going on?"
"Mr.Wyance, Joe accidentally injured himself while he was working on the machine," one of the
workers said.
"I think we need to take him to the nearest hospital."
"Let me see."
Martin walked up and inspected the wound on Joe's arm.
"A trip to the hospital won't be necessary, as I can take care of it."
He turned to Carl.
"Carl, allow me to demonstrate what The Beacon can do."
Upon concluding his sentence, he pressed a red button, removed a syringe containing a rapid-healing
concoction from the compartment, and thrust the needle into Joe's arm.
Seeing that the drug was taking effect at once, Martin glanced back at Carl.
"What do you think?"
"Amazing!"
Carl yelled, his eyes fixed on Joe's wound in amazement.
It was a minor wound that would usually take a few days to heal, but with Martin's injection, Joe's arm
was restored within a matter of minutes.
"Martin, how did you even come up with The Beacon?" Carl asked.
"The healing effect is miraculous!"
Martin smiled at him.
"Rapid healing is one of the best features about The Beacon.
It took me forever to develop it.
If it didn't work as well as it does, I wouldn't have produced it en-masse."
