12 'Mr. Edward Garcia'

"Heyya..punk...Zhao dao!!"

Zhao dao who was leaving through the exit door, abruptly turns around on hearing his name.

" Zhao dao I want to introduce you to... someone.

This is Mr. Edward Gracia."

The well- built, American man whom Zhao dao saw standing full- armed at the backstage earlier, stands in front of him, lowering his hand, forward from the rifle, implying a shake- hands gesture. He attempts to put up a smile.

Zhao dao accepts his hand, as he introduces himself.

"I'm Zhao dao..."

Professor Wang Li suddenly interrupts as Zhao and Edward glanced at each other.

"....yes and he is Team leader of the Archeological department. And.. Edward Garcia...has come here for an important job...from America...and he...

"I lead the IAT international security team. We have come here as per the request ...of the government due to arisen threats... against the national research centres."

Edward Garcia is the team leader of the unit sent to China by IAT or The International Analysis Team. It is an American multi national professional services and information technology, headquartered in Virginia. It provides services to different countries, including defense, homeland security, intelligence and healthcare.

"I see...hope it won't tire you'll..."

Edward sensing the sarcasm from Zhao dao, puts up a smirk on his face.

"Hope so...if you'll co-operate!"

"Professor Wang Li, looks like you're having a good time...guards by your side...VIP attention and all..."

Wang Li lets out a loud laugh.

Zhao dao smiles at Edward as he walk away.

Edward can't help but notice that he's a prominent character, indeed.

As, reporters and others were emptying one by one to the bright, warm daylight. Edward notices a native woman, with a smile lighting up her face, as she tried to pace up with Zhao dao.

"Brother!! Congrats...!! Your department has given name to an important and valuable resource...hehe."

"You're... appreciating me as if...I got named here...well what made you come here?"

"The whole of Hebei University.. was invited for the ceremony as...your team needed us as audience.....

Okay... I'm going huh...I'll see you at home tomorrow....okay?!"

"Okay....See you."

Zhao dao enters the lab as he waves bye to Shin. Meanwhile, she gathers up a stack of paper and folders barely holding them altogether, as she moves a few steps, her left foot hits a table and she tends to trip and a make a fall.

Suddenly she was caught hold of and finds herself, in the arms of an armed man. She jerks away in reflex to his embrace. She made herself still, as she notices his attire.

Shin stands there, confused. Meanwhile, Edward makes an attempt to clear the awkward silence.

"Um...Are you okay?"

"Yess...Thank you!"

She slowly turns away, moving forward with her stack of papers, as if to never look back due to her embarassment.

Edward stands there staring at her, perplexed and smiling.
