Now, you might be asking yourself. What is a highly respected scientist such as Dr.Venmar doing in his car, on his way to work on a sunday morning? Well first of all, that’s not for you to judge, it’s none of your business so SHUSH. Second of all, it was a big day for some students. The lab that he works at has organized an educational program where they would accept a maximum of 7 university students to come in and have a tour of the science facility and learn SCIENCE! There, they would get to take a look at the Chemistry and Physics departments, two of the most dangerous fields to take a look at, YAY! Today, was their tour of the Chemistry department.
So where does Dr.Venmar come in to this happy, totally not violent or death involved story? Well, other than the fact he is a genius, Dr.Venmar is the lead scientist of the Chemistry Department. As the lead scientist, he is the ideal person to lead the tour and show them around the Chemistry department, as well as teach them all about the no no’s and the okie dokies. Knowing full well that on a Sunday, the lab would be virtually empty other than the security and a couple super nerds who decided to work during the weekdays. Even if something happened inside the Chemistry Lab, the security would need clearance from the Lead Scientist, CEO, Co-Leading Scientist, or the Chief of Security to enter the chemistry department when it’s under lockdown, due to health and danger issues.
Dr.Venmar stopped his car at a red light, only a couple short blocks away from his lab. He nervously looked on his watch and puffed frustratingly when he realized he was several minutes late. He leaned over to the passenger seat to pick up his phone so he could notify the office at the lab, but was stopped as he heard several honks from behind him. Retreading his arm, he looked angrily in the sideview mirror and realized it was a green light. Embarrassed, Venmar started to drive again.
Once he arrived at the lab, he walked through the entrance and to the front desk where he signed in. The security officer politely smiled and waved him through before he even approached the desk fully, knowing very well who he was. Venmar proceeded to go through a series of hallways and an elevator until he reached the first security clearance. There he met his seven university students lounging in the waiting room. Smiling, Venmar brought his hands together and spoke,
“ Welcome, students.My name is Dr. Michael Venmar, and i am the Lead Scientist of this Chemistry Department. As you all know, we will be taking a tour of the department under MY supervision ONLY. I don’t want anyone going astray from the group or I will have to immediately remove you from the premises. Now, we will begin the tour once we enter the lab, come now “.
Venmar reached into the right pocket of his pants and pulled out his security clearance card and swiped it into the card reader. He waited for a couple seconds before the door automatically unlocked. Seeing that his guests were now ready, he held the door wide open to let the group walk into the corridor behind it. Once all 7 of them were in, he walked in after them and proceeded to open the second set of doors, which needed his status to be opened. It’s a reason why he comes to work extra late, so he can unlock the second set of doors and keep them on minimal clearance for the other scientists as they arrive.
The second door needed the same security clearance card, as well as a unique set of keys that only he carried around. Some might call that an overkill on security, but it’s necessary due to all the experiments they do in there with drugs, chemicals, compounds, and all that jazz. As a confidential notice, the government uses this lab occasionally and requires the lab to have tight security.
Once cleared, he let the students in and shut the door behind them all. The students all burst out in amazement and curioisty, and before he could stop them they spread out through the whole lab, amazed over the wide variety of equipment and tools kept there. Venmar sighed, knowing he will need to give them some time to calm down before even attempting anything with them. He walked through the lab to go to his office, where he put down his suitcase, his coat, and his hat. While putting his things away, he heard two sets of footsteps behind him.
As Venmar turned around, he saw two of the students from the group standing in his office. Behind them the rest of the group was widely distracted with the lab.
“ Can I help you? “ Venmar asked.
The two students looked at each other in complete silence, and seemed to have a non-verbal and non-visual connection. In agreement, the student on the right reached into their inside jacket pocket and pulled out a pistol that had a long silenced barrel on the end. Before Venmar could even gasp, the student aimed the gun at his chest and shot him three times straight through the left side of his torso. Two of the shots ruptured his heart, the third collapsed his left lung. Unable to gasp for air and make a sound and still trying to recover from enormous shock, Venmar collapsed to his knees in agonizing pain. His falling form was caught by the two students to reduce all noise. Together, they laid Venmar gently onto the floor, face up. As Venmar’s vision blurred and death seemed to overcome him as his heart stopped and lungs failed, the duo reached into his lab coat and pulled out his security clearance card and his set of keys. Taking the two pieces of items, one of them took the keys and the other the card.
The duo, with seeming ease and invisibility, leave Venmar’s office without being seen by any of the other students. They silently returned to the group and mingled with them until the group as a whole realized their tutor and scientist was missing. When they checked the office, they find the now deceased corpse of Dr.Venmar, left in the identical position the two evil students left him in.
“ Oh no... what do we do? “
“ We alert the police of course! “
“ How did he die? There’s nobody here except for us.... “
“ One of us killed Dr. Venmar! “
“ I just checked, the emergency button needs a security clearance to be activated and the power needs to be turned on with his special set of keys to give it power... does anyone have those? “
“ The Doctor probably did... check his coat and his pockets . “
“ Nothing, there’s no card or keys anywhere in here.. “
“ This is bad... this is bad... we can’t contact anyone outside and we can’t leave the lab without those keys or that card... what do we do? “
“ Without the keys we can’t power the emergency switch, and without the clearance card we can’t use it... we’re stuck in here without a way to escape or alert anyone on the outside...“
“ We need to find out who did this.. someone in here is guilty and we got to figure it out ".
