Should I even bother going back with you? I’m going to mess up eventually. That’s only human.”
“Well, that’s up to you. If it’s too much pressure, I suggest you save us all the time.”
Cassie bit her lip and looked toward the door. Three strikes, and she was already two down.
Even so, did she quit before trying?
That’s not what she was here for. No, if she was going to get fired, let her get fired. She wasn’t going to quit.
“Let’s do this.”
Ian gladly showed her toward the back and into the facility proper. The place was huge, with massive ceilings and wide hallways.
State-of-the-art lighting overhead cast crisp white light on everything. The floor and walls were all pristine with a matte finish so as to not reflect all of the light.
The air was brisk, but not uncomfortable. It had the feeling of gentle movement which prevented it from becoming stale.
As they walked, Ian pointed out different laboratories and mentioned briefly what each was currently working on. This, he reassured her, she wouldn’t need to remember.
Only when Mr. Moore was speaking did she have to worry. Some of the scientists were creating new technology, while others tested animals on their ability to think or react.
“Don’t worry,” he again reassured her, “we never do anything to harm the animal. All Mr. Moore is interested in are things like puzzle-solving, reflexes, things like that.”
“Good,” Cassie said, “I wouldn’t continue working here otherwise.”
Finally, they reached the largest lab in the place. Table sat in an array, with shelf after shelf piled on top of one another. Along these shelves were hundreds of small pits, each with a single sprout peering out from the top.
It took everything she had to not sit and stare in wonder at all of the plants, but instead followed Ian to where a man stood, his back to them as he mixed some liquids together.
“Mr. Moore?” Ian asked.
The man turned his head to see Ian, then looked further to see Cassie.
“Research assistant?”
“Yes,” Cassie said, stepping forward with her hand extended, “and let me just say what an honor—“
“You’re still carrying a purse. Why is she not in a lab coat? Why are you not in a lab coat?”
