Sora walked out, and Eunseo moved forward. She kept kept staring at Eunseo riding her automatic wheelchair.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Eunseo Kim, Guardians' CEO."
"Nice to meet you."
Sora already knew about Guardians. It was huge, international news. At least on Earth, everyone knew about it. People who had survived monster attacks knew even more. She also didn't expect the CEO to be around her age.
Eunseo introduced Elise to Sora.
"This is Guardians' Development Chief, Elise. She will explain everything to you."
Elise stepped forward.
"Nice to meet you. The zombies were similar to zombies in movies, but they were faster than expected. The people who were bitten by them carried a contagion and became zombies themselves. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
Sora thought of what had happened and shivered.
"We used a form of disinfectant on you as soon as you got here with the iron soldier, but we still need to draw your blood and run a few more tests on you," Elise added.
Sora wasn't feeling well, and Elise continued calmly, "I promise it won't be dangerous, and the data we collect here will be sent to the Center for Disease Control. They already know about your rescue and they need more data from you."
After the mention of the CDC, Sora became very nervous. While listening, she started worrying about whether she had been bitten by a zombie. She didn't even know how she had run away from it, but she understood what they were telling her and she was definitely nervous.
"We will run the tests and let you know," Elise told her.
"OK."
Elise thought of something else and said, "You can't use any communication devices in here. We jam all connections to the outside."
"But I have to call home!"
Elise nodded.
"We will call your home, and, without the results of the tests, you'd be just giving your family something else to worry about."
"I understand."
Elise smiled and said, "Please, come this way."
Sora followed her, and Eunseo looked at Junhyuk.
"Junhyuk, you may go back to the executive office. You'll receive a lot of calls, but remember that we don't know anything yet. Soon, we'll make a list of casualties."
"OK."
Eunseo saw Elise returning and asked her, "When can we have the results for Sora Shin?"
Elise answered calmly, "The blood test will tell us if she's carrying the contagion within five minutes."
"What?" Junhyuk was surprised and asked the question without realizing.
"We only have to check one person, and it'll take five minutes. If there were more, we would need more time," Elise explained calmly.
She looked at Eunseo.
"Are you calling Doyeol?"
"I should. This was Guardians' first mission," Eunseo said and added, "If this happens anywhere else in the world, let me know everything about the iron soldiers' results."
"I will."
Eunseo looked at Junhyuk.
"Then, you run control from the Executive Department."
"Yes."
Junhyuk went to the office, and just like Eunseo had said, the phones were going crazy. He was really surprised by the titles of the people calling, but he calmly answered all of their questions. They couldn't reveal the identity of the woman. They were keeping her safe and running blood tests on her. He told them to wait for the result. The people on the other side of the line screamed out their titles at him, but Junhyuk just answered unfazed.
Since the phones were going wild, he answered them in the sequence by which phone call came in first. Time passed quickly. He had been answering calls for a long time when the door opened, and people came in.
It was Doyeol and Jeffrey. They saw him talking on the phone, and Doyeol walked quickly toward him, extending his hand. Junhyuk handed him the receiver, and Doyeol said coldly, "We will make a list of casualties soon!"
He was done talking and pulled the phone's cord out. Junhyuk had wanted to do it, and Doyeol did it without hesitation.
"You must be having a hard time," he said calmly.
