Chapter 2

"Helena! We need you over here!" One of my employees Thomas yelled. "On my way" I muttered. I jogged on over and asked him what the problem was. "I'm having some trouble putting together the formulas for the H.O.U.N.D project. Can you help?" I nodded my head. Of course I can. I'm the smartest person here. I mixed all the formulas together speedily and named them all so it was easier for him to access them. Hopefully this all works out for him and he's not too too dumb to just not understand this. I mean I set it up in the simplest way possible for him. "Thanks so much, I really needed that, these formulas are really tough for me. How do you get this so easily?" I shrugged. He rolled his eyes playfully as I walked away back to what I was doing. Testing different earth like materials to see which one disintegrates faster. Hopefully my scrawny tree branches win. I dropped my acid concoction onto each of my objects, a scrawny tree branch, a smooth stone rock and a plant. For my scrawny branches, they disintegrated just barely last. The rock was second along with this awful smell. Then lastly, we have my little green plant. It disintegrated the fastest obviously because there is barely any strong structure and it's weight is so light. once I wrote down all of my information based on the results of my test I left work to go home and discuss more ingredient information with none other than myself. the drive home was long and different considering that there was barely any traffic as to usual. Usually the streets are backed up end to end. I ignored it and just figured I was lucky once again.

*two weeks later*

*month two*

I entered the lab with my full outfit on. White, long lab coat with my white blouse underneath and black jeans perfected with a pair of eye goggles. Nothing fancy clearly but definitely an outfit ready for experimenting in. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Let's do this. Game face? On. I looked and felt like a bad ass at that moment. That of course until I remembered that I was on the wrong floor, crap. I was supposed to be on floor five. Except I was on floor two. Ugh I'm such an idiot. I slowly walked back to the lab elevators. A.K.A moving rooms of hell. Yes they are useful but they are NOT exactly as safe as the stairs are in my opinion. I then made sure that I was on the correct floor and walked towards my usual work space. Everything was neatly laid out exactly as I left it. Except for the annoying neighbors I have today. Eric and Samantha, the cringing and most gag worthy couple in the whole world. Can't wait to get rid of them. It will be so satisfying to see them scream and run for their lives...
