Chapter 5
Robert and Kelly took turns driving his car, but right now, it was his turn. As he turned the wheel, Robert thought about how they were going to break into the lab. He imagined what their destination would look like. He wished he could ask Kelly, but she was asleep. He couldn’t blame her. It was 12:00 AM, and he also felt pretty sleepy. But traveling in the dark made you unseen. “I wish she knew what to do,” Robert thought.
Suddenly, The G.P.S. beeped, “You have reached your destination.”
The lab was even more protected than he imagined. Searchlights were every inch around, there was an electric fence blocking, and just by looking, he guessed there had to be 1,000 guards. The whole place felt like a concentration camp. And it probably was one to the aliens, too. Robert parked his truck behind an area of bushes so the searchlights wouldn't find them. He shook Kelly’s shoulders.
“Wake up!” he whispered. “We’re here,” Her eyes fluttered open. “Huh?” she croaked. She lifted her head up just enough to peer into the night sky.
“How are we going to get in?” Robert asked. Without saying a word, she opened the suitcase she brought with her, and took out two white lab coats paired with ID cards. “Lemme guess, those were from when you were still in AliensRCool inc. Right?” he predicted.
“Correct,” she replied as she shoved the shorter lab coat into his hands.
“Ready?” Kelly asked.
“Ready,” he replied.

At AliensRCool Inc, scientists were grabbing aliens from the crates that had been delivered earlier by plane. John DaLinki grabbed one of them and threw it into a big jar filled with a green liquid.
“Ok, let’s test this to make sure it works.” He sat on a chair with the alien beside him, and a scientist poked an IV through his skin. He started pumping some lever, and John began to transform. He grew two more arms and eyes and had huge biceps. His beard fell off, and he yelled in agony. He jumped out of the seat, ripped the IV out of his arm, and he stomped to his private office.

The two walked up to the door and flashed the ID cards to the guards. They let them proceed. Robert couldn’t believe that it was so easy to get in.
Kelly seemed to have read his mind. “I stole your card from the qualification center.”
“But I thought you were fired! How did they let you in?” He questioned.
“AliensRCool Inc just hired new guards, and also, I know how to hack,”
“You know how to hack?!” Robert asked, surprised.
“Yup,” she answered, like it was nothing important.
“Also, I changed both of our roles to ‘co adviser’ so we can go into my boss’s office without getting in trouble.”
They walked through a hallway until they reached an office at the end of the hall labeled Co-Advisers Office in big, golden letters on a silver plaque.
She swiped her ID card into a slot on the door. It opened with a click, and before they knew it, they were inside. The office was luxurious. The mat was covered with velvet. The walls were painted with gold, and the boss, Jimmy Fertilizer, dressed in a tuxedo, was there.
“So there are my new recruits!” Jimmy said a little bit tiredly, “Welcome to AliensRCool Inc. I am Jimmy Fertilizer. I am so glad you are working here.”
“I am happy to see you too,” Robert and Kelly answered at the same time.
“You look familiar,” Jimmy said, suspiciously, “maybe it is just a coincidence.” He looked at them for another moment, and led them over to a door. It was decorated with swirly gold, and its frame was made out of chestnut wood.
“Now, listen closely. Being a co-adviser is a difficult job. That’s why I’m the one who is guiding you through your job and office,” he said.
“Ok, I heard there was someone named John?” Robert asked
“Oh yeah,” Jimmy said, “He’s working in the Laboratory.”
“Can we meet him?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“He is very busy, and we don’t want to interrupt him.”
“I’ll go myself.”
“NO! Don’t go!”
“Fine.”
“Okay, let's continue our guide!”
