Two sudden screams exploded one after another inside the underground laboratory, and the sheer volume made Ethan cough lightly while rubbing his forehead in frustration.
"Listen guys... first you all need to calm down," he said while raising both hands slightly.
"Yes, we are quite calm," Hale replied immediately while nodding his head repeatedly.
"Believe me... I am very calm right now."
The way he spoke made Ethan's lips twitch slightly because Hale looked anything but calm, and even the veins near his forehead were bulging visibly.
Mareti also looked equally troubled, and his brows were tightly furrowed while he stared at Ethan as if trying to understand whether he had finally lost his mind.
Ethan took a deep breath and paused for a moment while thinking about how to explain himself properly.
He closed his eyes briefly.
Then he opened them again slowly.
"Listen guys..." he spoke again, and this time his voice carried a deeper heaviness.
