"Oh no..... It's gone... I can't find it anywhere!"

The biggest headache I've had in years was waiting for me the that morning, as I went to my class teacher to collect the research papers from her, the ones pertaining to the void genome. The reason I was hurrying about it so much is because they contained the location of the storage laboratory, where the genome was located. The research papers were supposed to be top secret themselves.. and I have no idea how my class teacher managed to get them, but I wanted them back as soon as possible.

"Yes, we are very sorry. Even before we could commommerate your success on such a unique gene, the blueprints were stolen by a fellow student from the adjacent class. What are his intentions, or why did he act like this, or where the blueprints are, we don't know..."

"Do you even realise what you lost?" I asked her, with my hands shaking with anger.
"I realise those blueprints are important. I'll make all arrangements to prove that this is your work." She replied, almost giving in her to her tears.

"Do you think I care about the genome? The credit? I can let him take it all... But the void genome, is not what it seems...... Ma'am."
The 'ma'am' came out late, as I remembered the demon that lurks inside that genome, and I...
