moment, Dr. Greene was almost scared of what had actually transpired. But then it occurred to him that if at all that was the case, then the man would have already stormed in and took everything the moment the weird rodent popped out of the time machine. And thanks to that thought, Dr. Greene closed his eyes and gave out a long, lazy sigh of relief.
His body was still shaking and for a moment, he knew that it was because of the minor mercury poisoning. It actually seems as though his fellow scientists were right about the mercury in the system. And even though his argument that it wouldn’t kill a human if at all it was applied in the right amount, there were still some very weird side effects that arose from using the mercury-induced serum which would more or less get people in lots of trouble at the end of the day.
Dr. Greene had a hell lot of adjustments to make as far as his machine was concerned. But that said, he also knew that he had no other choice but to ensure that he had made a point of getting to see his boss if at all he wanted to get ahead of the game at the end of the day. Richardson was clearly suspecting him and for that matter, the only thing that would have mattered at the time would have been to heed to his call and to avoid having problems with the man.
And so as soon as Dr. Greene had lots of water and injected himself with the anti-mercury serum shots – one that he had invented just incase the mercury treatment went awfully awry – and hit the bathroom.
After a short, very nervous drive, Dr. Greene was finally in the place, trying as much as possible to look as innocent as possible. But that said, he didn’t want to look that guilty. And so the moment he got to the door to Mr. Richardson’s office, Dr. Greene took his time, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a couple of deep breaths right before getting in with a plastic smile on his face.
“Ah, the good doctor, just the person that I wanted to see. How have you been?” Richardson said with no facial expression at all.
“I am doing fine sir. I think the flu has finally subsided, and I am ready to work.”
“Well, if you ask me, you look like shit. Please, have a seat. There is something that I have wanted to talk to you about.”
Dr. Greene already knew what his boss wanted to hear about. And it went without saying that he was most definitely going to give it to him just the way that he wanted. But also, it also seemed as though Dr. Greene had been preparing to do so sparingly.
“Well, here I am sir. But I am afraid you will have to do your inquest as fast as possible since I have missed my post for a while and I need to get back to work immediately.”
“Oh, I understand that. And honestly, that is why I like you. So I will get straight to the point. How is your private invention going on?”
“Well, I am making some great strides sir. All I need is just a couple of weeks more, and it will all be sorted out without much trouble.”
“You are dismissed, my good doctor. Go back to your post and make sure that you are working on something new.” Richardson said with a smile on his face.
But as Dr. Greene was walking away from that place, there was that kind of feeling that he had and it went without saying that he had his fair share of doubts as far as his thoughts were concerned. First and foremost, it was just too darn bad for his research since Dr. Greene was sure going to search his place and will most definitely get the machine, claim it and who knew what would happen to the poor doctor after that.
And just like that, the euphoria just disappeared from the doctor’s face as he trying to figure how best he was going to get the machine out. Yes, Dr. Greene had been using the company’s resources to make that time machine, but they not only rejected the idea but also made a point of ridiculing him and that wasn’t acceptable at all.
