It was a cold night near the Texas Lab. A thick fog made it hard to see far. Suddenly, a loud voice came from behind the bushes. It was strong and serious.
An unknown voice from behind :- Who is bringing the net cutter kid ?
Ivan and Hazel jumped in fear. Their hearts were beating very fast. Without saying a word, they quickly hid in the bushes. The branches touched their faces and clothes as they crouched down very low. They tried not to breathe loudly.
Their hearts were beating so loud, it felt like thunder in their chests .
Sam looked towards the man hesitating and suddenly he recognised him .
Sam :- Oh , Hi Mr keery , So you asked the question.
Mr. Keery came closer. His eyes looked sharp in the weak moonlight.
Mr keery :- Hey , don't roll my words , Just tell me what you both are doing here and who is bringing the net cutter and why ?
Both kid hesitates to speak anything.
Ivan and Hazel stayed quiet. They were too scared to say anything. Hazel was angry inside. She slowly moved out of the bushes and looked hard at Mr. Keery.
Mr keery just becomes shocked to Hazel Inside the field of Texas lab . He was just to ask Hazel about it , then He sees an unknown boy standing out from the bushes . He just becomes shocked and asks.
What are you two doing inside the Texas Lab? Who gave you permission to be here?” Mr. Keery asked in a loud voice.
Justin, who was standing near, spoke up. His voice was soft but clear.
Justin :Earlier today, we told you there was a boy who used a portal. You didn’t believe us . At that time , you were laughing at us.
Mr keery looks at Justin angrily.
Mr keery :- I will laught at your bullshit now too . And what is th connection between that event and those kids Being inside .
Ivan was afraid of the soldiers hearing their voices , breaks out his silence .
Ivan spoke softly.
Please, Mr. Keery, be quiet. The soldiers on the roof can hear us.
Mr keery looks around him interrogately .
Mr. Keery looked up. He could see soldiers moving in the fog.
Ivan : They guard the lab all day and night . I will tell you everything that has happened till now but you have to promise me that you will help me in escaping this place after that .
Mr. Keery crossed his arms.
Mr keery : Okay, I will listen.
Ivan :- When I was trying to escape the two kids through portal , Hazel grabbed my t shirt . I stopped her from doing that but she didn't left my t shirt and that's why she also travelled through portal with me . That's why we both are here .
Mr keery becomes annoyed at his story .
Justin just start speaking in order to assure that what they were saying was completely correct .
Justin :We’re telling the truth. We don’t know how this happened. But we must get Ivan and Hazel out quickly. That’s why we need the net cutter
Ivan tried to make things clear to Me keery .
Ivan :- Hey , Mr keery or whatever , I will tell you each and everything about me once I get out of here . But first , please let me get out of here . Otherwise, they will Trap Hazel , too along with me .
Mr keery was not satisfied with what they said but he nodded in Yes .
Mr keery :- But listen , if I will get to know that you all are fooling me , then I am going to punish you all so hard that you will never forget it .
Everyone :- We agree , Sir .
Suddenly, a soldier listens to their voices . He run towards the edge of the roof . There was so much fog , he was not able to see everyone but
he sees a tall man standing there .
As soon as the soldier sees that man standing there, he gets very angry.
Episode 4 :- The Disappearance once again....
Soldier (angrily) :- Hey , what are you doing at the boundary of the Texas lab .
Everyone becomes alert and sneaks down to the ground . Both Hazel and Ivan hides in the bushes near them .
Mr keery didn't understand what to say but in order to divert soldier's attention , he goes towards the other side of the Texas lab so that the children can free Ivan and Hazel's from the Texas Lab by cutting the net.
Mr keery starts talking with soldier from the other side of the lab .
Mr keery :- Hey , What were you saying then .
Soldier :- What are you doing there at the boundary of Texas lab at this time . Just go home .
All other groups of friends also arrived at the Texas lab sneaking from the soldiers. They all started cutting net . Mr keery raised his voice so that the soldier could not listen of the children cutting net .
Mr keery(shouts) :- Hey , I am inspector, I was investigating a case and just came here to get some fresh air . Why are you becoming mad at me ?
Soldier :- Hey , Mr keery don't shout . I can listen . This is not a place to get rest . Just go somewhere else and get rest . You know , no one is allowed to enter here .
Nearby, Mikk, Sharon, Jessy, and James quietly came close. They had the net cutter. They started cutting the wire fence. .
Everyone was very scared .
Mikk :- Move your hands fast , Sharon . If they will see us , they will put us in jail .
Sharon stared at Mikk angrily .
Sharon :- Don’t tell me what to do. I am careful. It is almost done.
James joked
James :- Hey , why are you terrorizing your brother .
Sharon looked at him angrily .
Sharon :- Here we go , almost , almost , almost , almost , Done ..
Now you both can come out .
Everyone gets relieved. Ivan and Hazel came out of the Texas Lab quietly. Ivan held his arm. A bruise was there.
Mikk notices the bruise .
Mikk :- Hey , Careful man , is it hurting ?
Ivan covers the bruise with his hand .
Ivan :- No , I am fine .
They all go to the street nearby to get out of the vision of soldiers on the roof .
Mr keery (to soldier ) :- Okay , okay , I am going . You take care of yourself man.
Mr. Keery notices that both children have been rescued. He quickly walks over to join them.
Mikk chuckles and says :- Fine guys , it's time to Implement Plan B .
Mr keery ( confusing ) :- Plan B ? What's this Plan B ?
Sharon :- You will get to know about it soon , Mr keery .
Hazel becomes tensed and asks :- Hey., Guys what about that cycle .
Justin:- We can't take that cycle out of the Lab . We have to leave it there .
Mr keery :- But , it will put Hazel and maybe you all in a very big problem . They can use the Cycle to get information about whose cycle is that and then they can do anything to Hazel .
Mr keery gives them an idea to remove no plate from the cycle that will stop them from investing about the cycle .
Ivan becomes worried .
Ivan :- You all stay here , I will go and remove the cycle's no plate from it .
Everyone nods In yes .
Tension spreads in the everyone's mind .
Ivan rushes towards the lab .
He had a very good luck that there were no soldiers guarding that side then .
He goes inside the lab and just pulls the number plate out of the cycle . As he pulls the number plate , the cycle falls to the ground which makes a very loud noise that alerts all soldiers . All soldiers start coming from roof downwards .
Ivan's heart stops . He just remember that he can't be in their trap again , with full of his power , he runs out of the lab and just rushes to his friends. He becomes successful in reaching them .
Everyone sees his scared face .
Ivan :- Run , Runnnnnnn!
Everyone sits on their cycle and get directly to Mikk's House .
Inspector keery also starts his vehicle and gets straight to Mikk's House . They all got relieved when they reached Mikk's House .
Mikk becomes very serious .
Mikk :- Hey , Listen everyone . Please follow as I say .
I , Hazel , Jessy , Justin and Sharon will get to my house through the main door informing our parents .
Mr keery and Ivan will come in my house through the back door so no one can get to know about them .
Mike ( giving a command ) :- Did everyone understand?
Everyone Nods in yes .
Mikk confirms them .
Mikk :- Okay , it's the time to Implement Plan B .
Mikk opens the main door of the house .
Mikk shouts :- Hey Mom , I have arrived Home .

Do you have any problem mom ?
Jasmine chuckles and says :- Of course not , baby .
Do you all want to eat something ?
Everyone :- No ,baby
Jasmine laughs in her own :- You all are becoming naughty day by day .
Mikk implements Plan B . He calls in everyone's home and says that his all friends are going to stay in his home today . They all will leave to their homes the next morning .
Mikk says proudly :- Done guys , We are all set now.
Everyone comes in The playroom . Mikk closes the door of the playroom . Everyone is very excited and nervous at the same time to know how is it all possible ? The portal? The boy ? Ivan ? What's all this ?
Mr keery breaks silence and says To Ivan :- Hey , Are you going to tell me what is happening or will only waste my time .
Mikk :- Yes , Ivan , Please tell about you . We are all very excited to know about you .
Ivan :- Okay . So let's start from the beginning.
The things that I remember .
Mr keery :- What is your age and who are your parents ?
Ivan becomes confused at his question .
Ivan ;- Mmm , I think I am 16 . I have heard them talking about it . And , I basically don't remember who my parents are ...
Everyone becomes shocked at this Ivan's statement.
Sharon :- Hey , how can you forget your parents ? what is the last thing that you remember about them ?
Ivan try to recalls .
Ivan :- I don't know how to say but the last thing that I Remember is :-
-Scene - In Ivan's house :-
Dr Edward William :- Hey , look , we need your child , that's why we are taking him with us .
Ivan's parents crying and requesting them to leave their son .
Ivan's Mom :- Hey , please don't take him with you . We will give whatever you will want . But please don't take him with you . He is my only child .
Ivan crying very loudly and shouting :- Mommy , Papa , Save me , I don't want to go , Please save me , I don't want to go .
Dr Edward William:- Look , This time I need only your son . So please let me take him with me . I assure you that we will not hurt him and provide him better facilities than you do .
Dad :- But , why only he ? Why are you taking only him with you ? There are several other children .
Dr Edward William :- He is special , He is the only one that I require. So I am taking him with me . He will be very safe with me until you will remain silent . If you will try to inform anyone about this , you know the consequences sir .
Dad :- How is he special ?
-Scene - Mikk's House
Ivan :- That was the point they injected me with something that fainted me . So I don't know what happened after . After this , I directly waked up in.......
Mr keery interrupts in between :- Did you understand why are you special ?
Ivan :- No , not exactly.
Mikk :- Okay , what happened afterwards. How do you create portals ? How did you get superpower?
Ivan :- Okay , After that I just woke up in the lab . I listened discussing about my age . On that night , I saw so many capsules kept beside me in the Lab .
Sharon interrupts in curiosity,
Sharon :- Capsules ? What capsules ?
Ivan takes out a capsule from his hand . It was a white coloured ball just shaped like an ellipse . There was something written on it .
Mr keery :- What's written on it ?
Ivan :- There are capsules to travel to different places . As much I know there are capsules for travelling to school , the border and the most of the tablets were to travel back to the Texas lab .
The " Texas Lab " is written on the capsule .
Mr keery ;- You mean , Anyone having this capsule can open up portal ?
Ivan :- Please listen to my story , You will understand everything.
When I saw capsules lying on the Table , I stole 3 capsules from there and took It in my pocket and lied on my bed .
After that , I slept . I don't remember exactly what the did next day . But they were doing some kind of surgery at me . As much as I remember, they were installing a chip in my mind . When I Got back in sense , I listened a boy practice it with the capsule . I learned how to use that capsule . I didn't want to be a lab rat . So I escaped from there . Unfortunately, The capsules that I chose were of school and two of the Texas lab . So the portal Just opened up in school . And after that , you all know the story . Second time , the portal opened up in Texas lab . And Now , I have one more capsule . Using it , I can go back to Texas lab .
Mr keery :- I don't believe that's real man . That's like the story of a sci fi movie .
Ivan :- Yes , I also can't believe what happened in my life back few days . But that's what it is .
Mr keery :- So , Were there more like you ?
Ivan :- Yes , I was their 8th subject . Because there was 8 no written in my cell and the one whom I saw practicing Teleportation was no 2 .
Sharon :- What is their da*n purpose ?
Ivan :- I don't know .
Mikk :- So , how are you gonna save yourself from then ?
Ivan :- I have no other than going back to Lab once again and collect many more capsules of different varieties to escape from them. I think I will get away of the country and will try to know who my parents are and then will call them in my country again , Maybe .
Mikk :- Why not you go to lab today using portal and get the capsules ?
Ivan :- I can only use 2 capsules a day . I heard them saying that if anyone will use more than 2 capsule a day , it will lead to their teleportation but they will collapse suddenly after teleportation .
Sharon:- Da*n , that's an invitation to death .
Mr keery ;- Okay , now I am going to my home . I will visit you again .
Ivan :- Ok sir , Can I stay in your house , Mikk , Just for today ? Tomorrow, I will get the capsules and will go out of here .
Mikk :- Ya sure , but remain hidden from my parents.
Ivan :- Yes , definitely.
James :- That was quite surprising to know about you . I will come visit you again . I am leaving for now guys .
Sam :- Me too , guys , Goodbye .
Hazel :- I am also going to my home . Mikk , I am taking your cycle for now .
Mikk :- Yes sure , No problem man.
