Still heavily dazed and reeling, the boy opens his eyes.
“Wha-a-at? Whe-e-ere am I?”
Suddenly, Aaron hears a loud noise, as if a heavy object has been slammed on the cold, marble floor where he is lying right now.
“Are you alright?” A concerned voice rises from behind him.
Aaron turns his head and to his astonishment he somehow recognizes the person who has voiced his concern. As the boy tries to get up on his feet, the man close to him offers him his hand.
“Here! Let me help you!”
“Oh, thank you, Sir!” As the geeky child stands up and pats his rear end for any imaginary dirt or dust, he turns to face the person who has helped him. More than an astonishment, Aaron is shocked to see the face of a male adult who is wearing a face shield on top of what appears to be an N97 face mask.
