Natasha was pushed into a big room with her eyes blindfolded. She couldn't see the surroundings and she couldn't tell where she was being taken. With her eyes still in blindfolds, she could feel the presence of people in the room.

What she could recall was that she had tried calling Kenny the whole day and he wasn't picking up his call. On this specific day, Kenny was to take her to meet his mother and for a dinner session at the old mansion too. He had mentioned to her that his grandfather, who loved him the most, was coming over to the country for a visit. His father, who was also in another country for work purposes, was coming back too. Natasha was excited and nervous too.

What surprised her was the fact that she had called Kenny's number the whole day but wasn't getting connected.

So she decided to prepare some food and take it to the company, and see if he was okay. She thought that maybe Kenny was busy or he was in an important business meeting and he had turned off his phone.

Each step they took was deliberate and quiet, as they didn't want to draw any attention to their presence. Their hearts pounded in excitement and trepidation, knowing they were on a crucial mission to find the antidote.As they turned a corner, Kenny reached into his pocket and pulled out a small roll of black tape. "Alright, Zeres," he whispered, "we need to disable that CCTV camera up ahead. I'll take care of it." The two cane prepared, blocking the cameras would ensure that nothing about what they were doing would be captured.Zeres nodded, and they both crouched low against the wall, waiting for the perfect moment. When the patrolling guard was out of sight, Kenny swiftly moved forward, gently pressing the black tape over the camera lens, effectively blinding it."Nice job," Zeres whispered with a grin as they continued on their path.
