Chapter 187 - 91: The Little Genius 3

Morgana was stumped as she discusses with the system about the possibility that Malik Asad made Eric memorize the formula of the antidote and the virus since it was a common knowledge that ever since Malik abducted the old doctor and Eric, Malik has kept Eric with him wherever he goes. Morgana decided to ask Eric about it herself as she watched little boy keep on scribbling numbers and solutions on the paper. Eric is only five years old and yet his knowledge is much higher than a common people, much more to the other boy his age.

Morgana waited for Eric to finish what he's doing, she played with Niña for a while as she glanced at Eric from time to time, until her mother came to fetch Niña to put her in bed.

When Eric is done with what he's doing, he lifted his head and glanced at Morgana who was patiently waiting for him.

Eric: Auntie, are you waiting for me? Eric asks while rubbing his tired eyes.

Morgana: yes, would you like to sleep with me in my room??? Morgana asks as she watched the sleepy child rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Eric: yes Auntie, I love to but momma said, a little boy like me should sleep alone.

Morgana: yeah, it is true that a little boy like you should have your own room and sleep alone like an a.d.u.l.t but... Wouldn't it be nice to sleep with Auntie tonight? Morgana said, smiling at Eric.

Eric: yes, it is nice!!! Yay!!! I'm sleeping with Auntie tonight. Eric agreed enthusiastically as he hugs Morgana. Morgana carried Eric to her room and put him down on her bed.

Morgana: Eric, when you are with that bad guy... Did he made you memorize something like...

A procedure to make medicine??? Morgana asks Eric as they lay side by side on the bed.

Eric shook his head then he opened his mouth to speak as he remembers something.

Eric: Auntie are you referring to my grandpa's formula? Eric asks as he watched Morgana closely

Morgana was stunned when she heard the little boy's question, it didn't occur to her that the boy would easily catch up with what she wanted to know.

Morgana: yes..... Do you know the formula? Or where Malik hid the formula and the antidote that he took from your grandpa?

Eric shook his head again, indicating that he doesn't know the formula before he answered.

Eric: The bad guy gave the thing to a man with a gun, I don't know his name. He said that the leader wants that thing as soon as possible

Morgana: What thing??? Morgana turned to face the boy and asks, curious about the thing that the boy has mentioned.

Eric: The thing..... I don't know what it is, it's like small ch.i.p.s where grandpa save all the important files. Grandpa tried to escape to give that thing to the Americans. He said it will help cure the people, but the bad guys caught him again.

Morgana: How did you know all about this??? Morgana asks, amazed at the boy's good memory.

Eric: I was there when they caught grandpa, he threatened grandpa to kill me if he tries to escape again then he took that thing from him and gave it to the man who came to his house.

Morgana:: that thing... Is it a USB? The one that you put into a computer drive to save files???

Eric: I don't know..... Maybe it is called like that.

ho.....hum...Eric answer as he yawned

Seeing that the boy is too sleepy to talk, Morgana stops asking questions and tucked the boy in his blanket as the boy finally fell asleep, he even talk softly in his sleep calling his grandpa.

Early in the morning Simone and Daisy brought some breakfast in the cabin near the creek, they found them cooking fish they caught from the creek, they also have riped fruits on the small wooden table. One of the scientists was picking herbal plants.

Simone: hello there... We brought some food with us for all of you. If you can please help us pick the other baskets of foods in the house, we can't carry all of the basket since it was heavy. Simone greeted the people in the cabin near the creek and ask for help to get the basket of food in the house at the top of the hill.

While Simone and Daisy were giving out foods for the scientists and their families Morgana and her sister Arriane are having a serious talk with David and Martin about Eric, the little genius.

Morgana: Last night, I found out that the doctor's grandson is a genius, at his age, he already knows how to solve a quadratic equation that even I an a.d.u.l.t barely understand. Morgana said in a low voice.

The three people around her were dumbfounded as they heard Morgana they can't believe that a five years old like Eric can solve a math equation easily.

David: Morgana if what you said is true, maybe....... We could ask Eric if he knew the formula to make the antidote?  If he knows the formula then we can make the antidote with the help of the scientists.

Morgana: No, unfortunately, he doesn't know the formula and even if he does, we can't ask the scientists for help. Right now we can't just trust anyone especially if it's about the formula and Eric.

David: but why??? Why can't we trust them??? Do you think that one of them is a spy or something...????

Morgana: I don't know, I am not sure, but who knows? We don't know anything about them, how can we put our trust to them easily?

Meanwhile, on a desert outside Syria, the man who came to take the antidote and the USB disk from Malik to give to the leader of Lashrar - e - Taiba was lying on the desert sand, dead. When he came to take the antidote to give to the leader who was infected by the virus. On his way back to Pakistan, he encountered a man who was infected, the man stole his Jeep leaving him to walk on foot without knowing that the virus was transferred to him by the man through droplets of saliva when the infected man sneezed. Now he was lying on the desert sand and the antidote in the vial inside his bag spilled on the sand.
