303 Move Aside!
Currently, in the FBI office of New York City, an emergency meeting was being held.
"What do we know regarding that light? Did you call the Virus Corporation's headquarters? What was their response?" The person who was the head of the NYC office of FBI queried nonstop in a single breath.
"Sir, we called their reception, but they refrained from providing us with a direct response… they said it's under investigation. They also reassured us that it's not anything serious and that it's probably just a simple malfunction of their tools." A female FBI agent responded calmly.
"Not anything serious?!? Not anything serious my ass! This is the first time I'm seeing an inexplicable phenomenon like this… and they say it's not anything serious without providing us with any clarifications!" Enraged, his eyes turned wide-open as he enquired in some disbelief.
"Also! They say it's probably due to the malfunction of their tools? I wanna know just what kind of tool reacts this way when it malfunctions!!!" He vocalized in an even angrier tone before voicing in a determined manner, "We can't sit back like this! We need to delve into this further!"
"But before that, what did the experts say? What could be the possible reasons behind that kind of strange light?" Leaning back on his chair, he inquired more.
"Hmm… sir, to be truthful, the experts are also clueless… they can only guess that some kind of secret experiment must've gone wrong…" The previous female agent replied.
"Useless… alright then, this is an emergency and we have to dig into it as soon as possible and then report to the higher-ups. Dispatch the relevant units and agents to the area at once!" He passed along his final order solemnly before adding further, "No… simply sending the agents won't do! I'm coming along too! Let's go!" Saying this, he stood up and grabbed the coat of his suit.
"Yes, sir!"
Simultaneously, a similar situation was taking place in the New York City Police Department as the clueless police chief dispatched officers to visit 4 Times Square building.

The door of the elevator opened as both the Legal and CEO uglies entered the floor with astonished expressions. Of course, even the astounded face of the Legal ugly seemed somewhat expressionless.
"What happened, miss?" Questioned the CEO ugly in a hurry.
"Nothing, it's related to master's training, you guys can leave." Phrased the golden beauty with a deadpan and rather blank look.
Hearing this, the CEO ugly's face went even uglier as he said back, "There's been a huge commotion throughout the city due to that strange light… I'm sure a lot of officials have been already dispatched here… they'll reach here at any moment now! But you say it's nothing?"
"Then just deal with them! Isn't that your job?! Go away! Both of you!" Screamed the golden beauty annoyedly before continuing, "No matter what happens… no one's allowed to the highest floor. I don't care if it's the police, you, or the President of the United States himself! Send them all away!"
Noticing her sour mood, the CEO ugly knew any more talking would be fruitless as he wondered, 'Just what happened for her to be in this kind of bad-tempered state?' However, he didn't reveal any of his thoughts out loud and instead mouthed a bit worriedly, "Alright… we'll deal with the officials and the consequences. But just tell me this… is master alright?"
Catching his question, the golden beauty's expression sank a bit, but nevertheless, she replied, "Don't worry! He's okay… don't you know master? Nothing can ever harm him. It's just that his training seems to have met some kind of unexpected situation, but he'll be fine, there's nothing to worry about." At the same time, a notion flickered within her head, 'Master… you have to be fine… You have to!'
"As long as he's safe... Alright then, we're leaving." As he muttered this, turning around, he left with the Legal ugly who had not uttered a single word throughout the entire conversation.

Within the elevator, the CEO ugly started talking, "By the way she's acting, something serious must've happened. But, it also shouldn't be endangering master's life… so it's all right. We should just deal with the delegators and leave the matters of master himself to himself."
"How are we going to deal with the agents and police officials who come? Should I send them away myself? Or will you also come along?" Finally opening his mouth at this point, the Legal ugly asked as vacant as ever.
"No need for that… we'll both go and wait in the lobby in front of the reception." Shaking his head, the CEO ugly rejected the idea of sending the Legal ugly alone. He understood that this was probably going to require both of them.
"Alright then."
…
Coming down to the reception, the two realized it was already filled with police officers who were stopped by FBI beauty, Sara Garner, who was still on her duty of guarding the reception with the other security guards.
At this moment, tens of FBI agents also came running within the building.
"Mr. CEO! What should we do? We've been stalling them until now, but they're about to enter and search everywhere!" Seeing the CEO ugly finally appearing on the scene, the FBI beauty dashed in his direction.
Even though she was extremely curious about what had just happened, but being the smart woman she was, she knew she had to first deal with the situation if she didn't want to lose their trust and even her part-time job here.
"Lemme see." Muttering this, he passed by her as he directly walked over to the group of police officers who were crowding the lobby.
"May I ask what brings you, group of respectful police officers, here?" Showing them a warm smile, the CEO ugly said in a relaxed tone.
For a while, none of them opened their mouths as they just patiently waited for their leader to talk. However, seeing their leader not saying anything even after a long silence, one of the officers who had the second-highest authority among them decided to take the lead instead for now, at least until their head felt like speaking.
"Are you freaking kidding us? We're here to search the source of that light! We'll give you one final chance! Move aside! Or, we will arrest all of you!" That police officer declared putting on an arrogant tone.
