The Golden Week of The Kirkstoic's I

The week has begun and the family is already feeling the difference from their usual selves. It'll be a very very busy week for everyone here especially those whose in charge of the possible plague outbreak. That would be us under Miss Hailey, I know I haven't seen her today so I searched for her in the lab and everyone who passes me after they've gone from the lab saying 'Tom, be careful

around Miss Hailey...' So I braced myself as I enter Miss Hailey's lab... "Uh... Ma'am? Are the lights out?" I entered the lab seeing that there's no light open in the lab except for a lamp on her research table. I got a bad feeling about this but then I've heard Miss Hailey's voice. "Assistant? Great timing! Have you sanitized yourself? If so come here I've got to show you something. It's sensitive to light so be careful on your way here." Her tone changed from yesterday... Is it about the change or is it something else? Miss Hailey hasn't become turned into some kind of monster, is she? I hope so... As I carefully walk in the dark laboratory I saw what she was doing... "Umm... Ma'am is that what I think it is?" I said to her in a very worried tone. She replied. "Yes, you would be correct Assistant... It's a sample of the Evo Virus in a contained environment though not as potent as the true version."

I know what she just made. It's what we call a sample like that is a Fake Virus. Fake Viruses are like she said are replicas of the original virus for research purposes but the Fake one is not as potent as the original so a leak won't hurt that much unless the quantity is large. The expected lifespan of these replicas is around 2-3 days and generally lacking what the original would have in its original state. I'll let Miss Hailey take care of this from this point.

Tom looks scared of what he looks like today. I understand that today is the golden week of our family and that's one of the most dangerous weeks of the family because in this week this can either hurt or help every Kirkstoic member by receiving their gift from their Great Great Grandfather... And from what I got... I got the nerves of steel and I can feel all of it, all over my head to my feet the numbness. It stings ironically, people I knew are now afraid of me because of my cold stares and cold reactions towards them. I'm giving them the cold shoulder and did quite screamed to some of my classmates... I can't stay like this but I feel that I should do this for the better good because if I don't focus I can get easily strayed away from my progress... I'll have to turn away against my back towards everyone for the time being. I'll be their enemy for their sake, I'll protect them even if it'll destroy their trust. I have to make this sacrifice of kindness for the world. "Tom, can you please leave me for a while I think it'll be better for you. I just don't think you'll like what's going to happen if this fails right? You don't have to worry about me. Sanitize yourself after leaving, I'll give you the records for you to read after I'm done with my research. Okay, I know, I know I'll be fine. Just leave already for this week." then He replied. "Sure Ma'am I'll just visit you with just the reports got it. I'll be off now... Good luck!" Tom left the lab with just the recent records in his hands. After a few minutes...

"So you chose to save your precious Assistant from what you're gonna do? He just entered the room you're just gonna kick him out, that's so not you Hailey." I replied from the man speaking from the side of the room. "Don't mess with me, Alex. I know you won't understand how I'm going to fix this during Golden Week. Dad will be mad if he knows that you're here Alex." He replied. "Come on Hailey... I know you're better than this. You have until Friday to make up with the poor little guy if you fail you know what I'm capable of." I replied while I'm opening my gun drawer then draws my M1911. "Don't make me laugh. I know what I'm doing and I know that Tom is different. I just wanted him to be safe that's all. If I see your ass here every time I'm working I will not hesitate to put lead to your brain." He replied. "Remember what we agreed upon on and if all else fails. Good luck, and I'll get you one day Hailey remember that also!" He said that as he left the room through the back door.

After hours and hours later. I marched on and continue to crack down the origin of the Evo Virus. And at the end of the first day, I can't seem to find it yet and I'm tired from just the first day... I calmed myself down and slept for the day since that I made progress for the meantime that I'll use for the next day onwards. I hope that I'll be successful if my theory finally works cause if it does... I'll reveal where this sickness came from, how did it form, and why is it deadly. I can tell that the archives are working though not at a level that is overwhelming and not overly easy either. If it helps me find what they researched already then my role is just adding more or finish this century-long research that has gone through many generations. Because I'm also afraid that if I fail here who knows what will happen next.
