Chapter 4 - What Was Bound To Happen 2

There is a communication device in both his (Philip's) ears.

The main purpose of the communication device was to make communication easy among the squad of security personnels.

Frank actually had a communication device for himself but for some unknown reason, he wanted Philip to communicate with the others in his stead and make his request known to the others or maybe, it could be that he's the shy type.

Philip, reaching out for his left ear, he touched the communication device he had in his ears.

The small device in his ear made a beeping sound.

"Philip communicating to security personnels on the Western side of the treasure room. Do you copy?"

Philip stated while his hand is still attached to the communication device on his left ear.

A voice answered him in return right after his sayings, through the communication device.

"What is it Philip? Have you spotted any suspicious movements?"

The voice boomed accordingly in Philip's ear.

"Not really.... Though, it's about Frank".

"What's up with him? Is he behaving suspicious?"

"Not at all. He's just requesting to let you all know that he will be stepping into the treasure room for a bit. According to him, I think it's a precaution process to check out the artifacts".

"Not bad. Actually, I think it's a good idea. I'll let the others know about his intentions. For now, just advise him not to touch anything but only inspect".

"Don't worry I will make sure of that".

Philip stated, quite professionally before ending the conversation.

He turned to Frank, who in turn is staring at Philip with expectant eyes. Philip sighed as he put on a smirk.

"Sergeant Buster agreed to your request. He agreed to inform the others about your intention of wanting to venture into the treasure room".

Philip said, the mocking smirk still suddenly being on his face.

Frank immediately excitedly threw his right arm up in the air.

"That's why I admire sergeant Buster. Always doing what's right for his team".

Frank said, smiling excitedly about the fact that his request was immediately agreed upon.

Philip's smirk deepened.

"Don't get too excited because he agreed to your request. I don't even know why I even agreed to deliver the request to sergeant Buster instead of you doing so by yourself".

Philip murmured while rolling his eyes. Frank chuckled and grinned.

"That's because we are friends... and not just friends but also colleagues at work".

Frank grinned continuously, wigging his eyebrows childishly at Philip. Philip rolled his eyes again.

"Just go do what you said you wanted to do and don't disturb me with that childish behaviour of yours. I already delivered your request, so get on with it". Philip murmured aloud. "And also, sergeant Buster said by himself, that you shouldn't touch any artifact. You know that each artifact is very important to the government and the world at large. You gonna loose your job and go to jail if anything happens to those artifacts in there".

"Yeah! I got it. You worry too much. I'm just gonna go inside the legendary treasure room and inspect the artifacts in there. Nothing else".

Frank said. He turned around and quickly headed for the door leading into the enclosed room- treasure room.

____

Actually Sergeant Buster is their superior. He is the leader of the supposed squad of security personnels that are in charge of guarding the treasure room for the current six hours.

His main job is to organize the other eleven security personnels.

____

Frank hurriedly left where he stood and walked up to the door of the treasure room- enclosed room that is not far from him.

(Also, I almost forgot. The squad of security personnels are divided into four. Each group of three security personnels guard one side of the treasure room. That only means, that the enclosed room is well arranged in a square shape. Three security personnels would guard the northern side of the treasure room, another three would guard the Eastern side, another three would guard the western side and lastly, another three would guard the southern side.

Frank, Philip and another guy named Andrew guarded the southern side of the treasure room- enclosed room. Nevertheless, the treasure room had an entrance at each four sides).

Frank stood in front of the huge door that is made up of sleek metal that is well designed in a security taste. The door stood in the middle of the southern side of the treasure room.

The door had glowing blue lights on it that seemed to serve as alarms. On the right side of the door is a keypad, through only which can the door be opened.

As expected, the high tech keypad on the door had some digits on it and if the password are imputed, the door for sure is going to open.

Frank did so as he imputed the correct password on the keypad and almost immediately, the door popped open with steam pouring out from the entrance into the room.

He turned to his left , to see Philip staring at him. Frank flashed a cheeky grin at Philip at which Philip could only scoff.

Frank once again, turned to the revealed entrance into the treasure room and quickly trudged forward into the room. The metallic glowing door closed electronically immediately behind him.

___

Immediately Frank made his way into the treasure room to inspect the whole room including the artifacts and treasures in it, he is well glad that everything in the room was okay.

However, he is in awe at the structure of the whole interiors of the treasure room, but he doesn't waste his time admiring the whole room.

He did his job by inspecting the whole room and seeing that everything is okay and well in order, he decided to leave.

"Seems everything's in order. It's actually beautiful in here and these artifacts are... awesome".

Frank muttered to himself as his gaze moved around the whole interiors of the treasure room.

Deciding to leave after doing his job, he made sure not to touch any artifact stored in the treasure room.

He turned around and is about going and reaching out for the blue metallic door when he suddenly had a strange, prickling feeling.

He ignored it at first and trudged forward, towards the blue metallic door. Steam pouring out from the door surface and the blue glowing lights, shining beautifully.

"Time to leave..... Already done with the inspect and it's best I leave".

With that sayings, he reached out for the blue metallic door, ready to imput the password that would once again, open the door, but from the inside.

However, the strange prickling feeling still existed. The feeling, kept gesturing for him to turn around, despite the fact that he is already at the door.

'Whats this strange feeling?'

Frank said to himself but quickly decided to obey the persisting feeling.

Drawing back his right hand that was earlier hovering upon the keypad on the door, he turned around, quite slowly-

Only for his eyes to open wide as if they would bulge out from their sockets-

And only for him to catch a glimpse of a golden ray of light.

___

In the middle of the room, a high stand made out of metal and designed in a bottle-like structure, stood firmly. It wore a green coloured material on it and it's bottom had a rectangular shape.

On top of the high stand is a box made of transparent glass. The glass box, transparent in nature, was quite big and it has a square like shape, that could probably fit any artifact or treasure stored in it.

Coincidentally or more precisely, were the two stone tablets. The two stone tablets were inside the box made of transparent glass.

The two stone tablets, being one of the overly important artifacts or treasures that the American government set aside in order not to showcase to the public tourists, were among the artifacts Frank had earlier inspected, before almost stepping out of the treasure room.

Which only means that, Frank had seen that the two stone tablets were okay and well secured, before almost leaving the treasure room. But something is wrong with the artifact especially when he (Frank) had that prickling feeling.

As Frank turned to look behind him, he noticed that something was wrong with one of the artifacts he had earlier inspected in the treasure room.

___

Seeing the two stone tablets stored in the big glass box on a high stand like the other artifacts, his eyes bulged out even more as he noticed the strange scenario.

The two stone tablets in the transparent big glass box were mysteriously glowing brightly, mostly the words on the two stone tablets that are also mysteriously glowing.

The prophetic words initially crafted on the two stone tablets were glowing magically and strangely and that made Frank immediately shocked to the point that he was dumbfounded.

An artifact stored in the infamous treasure room of the governmental museum of California is glowing brightly right in front of him!

Funny enough, that he had just came into the treasure room to inspect the artifacts and treasures in it.

Something, he himself had suggested.

___

For complete three minutes, In which the two stone tablets stored in the glass box were glowing, Frank stood still, immediately dumbfounded by this scenario.

"Impossible!"

Frank spatted out, after a successful regaining of himself and still noticing that the two stone tablets stored in the glass box were still glowing.

"I'm dreaming. Right?"

Frank asked no one as he cleaned his eyes repeatedly, testing if he was actually sleeping. The artifact in the box, still helplessly glowing golden.

Suddenly, the glass box began to crack, the golden glow from the prophetic words of the two stone tablets still glowing brightly.

Slowly by slowly, the cracks on the glass box that had suddenly found itself on the glass box, started to increase.

The cracks on the transparent glass box were getting more and more pronounced. The golden glow from the prophetic words on the two stone tablets, glowing brightly as ever.

The cracks spread steadily on the transparent glass in which the two stone tablets were stored.

In no time wasted, a shattering noise could be heard and the transparent glass box shattered completely.

___

Treasure Room_ Governmental Museum California

In the treasure room, while an artifact mostly valued by the American government was creating a magical scene, a dark shadow descended from the sky into the room and blended well with the shadows of the treasure room.

The dark shadow having two massive horns could be said as being the real reason why the two stone tablets were glowing and creating a magical scene.

The prophecy on the two stone tablets that were glowing and creating a magical scene in front of a security personnel was bound to happen.

And this mysterious dark shadow with horns was gonna make sure that happens.
