San Francisco
Two men with white coats get out of a van. One of them is wearing a black shirt and the other a blue shirt. One of them is holding a black suitcase. They close the door and start walking toward the big, tall building that says "Biotech". Two guards stand at the entrance.
"Hello," says the man with the black shirt.
"Hello," replies the guard. "Can I please see some identification."
The man takes out his pocket an ID card and gives it to the guard. The guard looks at the card that says:
Dr. Ronnie Adams
Department Head
The guard returns the card to Dr. Adams and the doctor puts his hand on the scanner fingers. The guard's computer recognize him as Dr. Ronnie Adams, Head of the Department of Experimental. Dr. Adams moves forward and waits for the other man. The second man brings the guard his ID card which read:
Dr. Tom Carter
Deputy Head of Department
The guard returns the card to Dr. Carter and Carter puts his hand on the scanner fingers. The computer recognizes him as Dr. Tom Carter, Deputy Head of experience. Tom Advanced and walks with Ronnie. They continue straight until they reach the elevator. Rooney presses the button for the elevator, the elevator opens and they enter.
Laboratory
A man sits and Examines a few test tubes. The door opened and a man enters the room with a brown suitcase and puts it on the table.
"Good morning, John."
The Man that Examines the test tubes look at him and say "Good morning, Mike" and adds little in surprise, "I see you're early today."
"Yeah, because you stayed up all night yesterday, so now I thought I would join you" replies Mike and sits down next to him.
"You know that I worked yesterday until now because I'm traveling today with my friend to France."
"Yes, but you could use some company until you go."
"The truth is that I have to leave in a few minutes, the flight is from Los Angeles."
"Los Angeles?" Mike replies in a surprise "this is far away. Why you aren't flying from the airport in San Francisco?"
"My friend's parents live in Los Angeles and he need to have their home before he will get on the flight."

"Okay. you want some coffee? because I really need a good coffee to wake up."
"Yes, thank you," replies John.
Mike gets up and leaves the room.
Elevator
The elevator opens at the 18th floor and the two doctors get out and walk in the corridor between the laboratories rooms.
"I don't trust him," says Tom.
"I already told you, I know him," replies Ronnie.
"I know, but still ..."
"I worked with him once and he is very good at what he is doing," interrupts Ronnie. "Don't worry."
They turn right and continue walking.
The kitchen next to the lab
Mike pours hot water into a glass and take two cups back to the lab. He entered the lab, he serves John the coffee, sits down and says: "When I was in France ten years ago I didn't take GPS with me. I relied only on the map and the local people. Once I lost my direction and didn't know where is my hotel. I asked some French to direct me and they try to guide you nicely, but they barely know English. Luckily, I was with someone who knows French and in the end we reached the hotel. In short, you will not make it in France without GPS. "
"I always come prepared, you know." John says, adding, "Besides, I have a good GPS in my phone."
John sips his coffee and says:"It's a good coffee. I hope the three weeks that you worked with me would be enough that you will Conduct properly the lab when I'm gone."
"You know I'll be fine"
"yes"
18th floor

Suddenly two hands are gripping the guard's neck and choking him. The guard is twisting and trying to break free, but he doesn't success.

Laboratory
John's phone rings. John answers, saying: "Hi," and after two seconds adds, "Wait a minute."
John turns to Mike and says: "Well, I have to go now, bye."
John goes and before he closes the door, Mike says: "Enjoy your holiday and don't forget to buy for me a chocolate in the Duty Free."
"Sure," replies John and closes the door.
split screen: In half of the screen we see John walking and talking on the phone and in the second half-screen we see Rooney talking to him on the phone.
"What you need is in drawer E 32," says John.
"It is in drawer E 32" Tom says to Ronnie .Tom goes to the drawer and opens it. In the drawer there is a locked silver safe.
"What is the secret code?" Ronnie asks John.
"The code is 32448691" says John as he invites the elevator.
"Do not forget to take care of the guards"
" It will be dealt," replies John and hangs up.
He entered the elevator and the door closes.
Control room
Two guards sit on swivel chairs and look at Security Cameras. One of the guards noticed two cameras extinguished.
"Hey, look," he says.
The second security guard is looking at the camera and says: "Tell Ban to check it, he is on 18th floor."
The first security guard says in the communication: "old camera does not work in room number 12, will examine what happened?"
"All right," replies Ben and starts walking towards the 12 room.
Room 12
Tom turns the last number of the code and open the safe. Rooney is looking and seeing that there is a black container in the safe. He takes from the safe the black container and put it in his suitcase.
Hallway near Room 12
Ben almost come to the fork of the corridor with a straight right, but suddenly John emerges from the right hallway and says: "Hey Ben, you know I'm going to France today?"
"Yes, I heard, and I hope you enjoy it," says Ben.
"I just wanted to know what places do you recommend me to visit."
"You know I'm not good at recommending things at abroad. I never went out the US "says Ben.
"Oh."
"Well, listen, I need to check something then I'm in a hurry, OK?"
"Okay, bye" replies John and goes.
He starts walking briskly toward the elevator.
Ben turns right and sees the camera that was destroyed. He examines it and says in the communication: "This camera is destroyed. I'm going to see what happened in room 12."
Ben entered the room and noticed the safe was opened. He says in the communication: "Someone came by and stole something from the vault."
"What safe is it?" Asks the guard in the communication.
Ben looks at the safe and says: "It's Written on the safe E 32."
"I am setting the alarm," says the guard.
Elevator
Rooney gets out of the bag three pistols and brings one to John and another to Tom and the third one he keeps in his hand. The elevator reached the ground floor and opens.
Suddenly an alarm sounds.
"Come quickly," says John and they start running towards the exit.
Two guards at the main entrance of the building are trying to draw their weapons. Before they manage to do so Rooney and John shot them and kill them. John, Rooney and Tom leave the building and are running to the van. John and Rooney get into the front of the van and Tom went to the back. John starts the van and begins to drive.

The Choice of Twilight
Growing up has always been difficult. It's even worse when you have to do it all in one night. On the eve of his thirteenth birthday, Ty awakes to find himself in a dreamworld, one-so he is told-that exists to pit him against his greatest fears and insecurities. And to ready him for a final choice. Luckily, Ty is not without friends. He soon meets Gentry, a wooden puppet his grandfather made for him years ago, walking and talking, ready to help Ty learn what he needs to return home in one piece. But that won't be easy when a cruel and abnormally tall skeleton dressed in mockery of Santa Claus and his suit hates Ty's guts. San wants nothing more than to best Ty and do what none of his kind has ever done before: defeat a child that has made "the choice." But Ty will stop at nothing to fight back against everything San's got in order to face his fears and grow up. Because, if he doesn't, he will end up a kid forever. Or, worse...never wake up again. This story is perfect for you if you are a fan of Coraline and Kingdom Hearts, both of those stories greatly inspired this one. I have recently added the Isekai tag after being unsure if it counts or not. I've decided it fits the description of what it is but not the current trends in the genre. If you go in with Coraline in mind I think you will have a better idea of the kind of Isekai this is. And I've also added the Slice of Life tag, that is only for the first five or six chapters though, then Ty enters the dream world and it pretty quickly becoms a progression fantasy, a mix of more traditional fairy tale like trappings alongside more anime action and acquisition of slowly increasing powers. With all that out of the way, please enjoy! Updates every Tuesday and Thursday! What time of day? It's a mystery! (For now)
