Chapter 595 - The facts about bas.e.m.e.nt.
Meanwhile.....
At Jean and Jeff’s side...
Both the siblings climbed down to the bas.e.m.e.nt and the first thing they saw made them widen their eyes in surprise.
It was not at all like a bas.e.m.e.nt of any other houses. As soon as they entered the downfloor all they could see is a door.
That too, it didn’t seem like a normal door. It is very thick and was made with the strongest material. No one can penetrate anything into it even if they use the strongest drilling machine. It is locked and the only way to open it is by scanning their eyes.
"Hmm.... sissy, do you really think we should go inside...I don’t feel like it is a good choice" Jeff shrugged only to earn a deathly glare from his pregnant sister.
"What are you.... a seven years old child. I think Jasper is braver than you.... bro....be a man...not a mouse." Jean scoffed. With her pregnancy hormones everything has heightened irrespective of what it is let it be happiness, sorrow or anger...she would burst up like a hot lava erupting from a volcano.
"Mrs. Summers...if something happens to you, your overbearing husband will cut my throat off my body. I don’t want to die before I marry Iris" Jeff pouted. He recently started calling her Mrs. Summers whenever she would become emotional like this.
"Lame excuse never. Now, get your ass out of my way so I can scan my retina" Jean rolled her eyes and pushed him away.
Jeff couldn’t help but roll his eyes at his stubborn sister. Sometimes he wonders how Scott is bearing with her...that too after she became pregnant.
"Even you have to bear with Iris because she is as stubborn as me. And don’t pity my husband so much because he is the reason, I am having all these mood swings" Jean said as she scanned her eyes.
"Oh...is that so little sister. Then why do you seduce my poor brother in law all the time....it is your fault to seduce your insatiable husband. If you wouldn’t have done so, I am sure he would not have i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed you this early" Jeff retorted as they entered through the door that just got opened.
It didn’t surprise him much because his sister is a council member and all the systems related to council will be accessible by her.
Jean rolled her eyes. "Stop supporting my husband otherwise...." Jean stopped in her tracks and frowned. "What the hell.... there is another door here" she couldn’t help but pout.
"So much of security to protect this room in bas.e.m.e.nt. I wonder what our parents hid in it?" Jeff exclaimed as he walked to the door with his sister. His hand is still on her back as he supported it with his big hands. He is afraid if she will trip and fall.
"Hmm.... now I am very excited." Jean clapped her hands in delight.
As soon as she said those words and clapped her hands, the light sourcing the room suddenly dimmed and Jeff became very anxious.
"I said you not to come here. See what happened now" he scolded her.
Jean laughed. "Bro...this light just got turned off because the sense right over at that corner will start scanning us now. You don’t have to worry about it. As we are council founder’s children everything related to us are already stored here. You fret for every silly thing"
"I am anxious because you are pregnant Jean. I don’t want anything to happen to you or my nieces in there" Jeff pursed his lips.
Jean is about to say something but the blur rays from the scanner fixed on either side of the room started scanning them.
After few seconds the light on the top of the door blinked green. Soon the metallic sound followed it as the heavy door got opened.
"Let’s go" Jean dragged her brother along with him.
"I don’t know what Scott will tell after finding about your adventures. What if the scanner didn’t recognize us?" he scoffed.
"Brother, I am not a fool to come here without knowing what is waiting for us down here. There is a book in my mentors room upstairs. That exactly described everything about this doors. Don’t worry and just follow me" Jean rolled her eyes.
"So, what is awaiting for us inside? Did your mentor wrote about it too...?" Jeff asked.
"Hmm.....he didn’t mention about it. I think it is almost five years back.....when I joined council, we use to come to this house to spend our weekends or to prepare for our exams. He use to live in this house and this house was special to him too. But later he disappeared all in sudden..." Jean started explaining him.
"As I and Scott got bonded up here in this same house, one of the council’s leader agreed to sell this house to us. At first, he said that he wanted to gift us this house for free but Scott refused to agree so. And later Scott bought this house but he asked us not to go to bas.e.m.e.nt because it contains personal matters related to the former owners. But he also said that, when the right time comes, I might be able to know what is there in this room" Jean said.
"So, your mentor who use to live in this house vanished before five years and didn’t came back since then. But sissy, if he lived here does that mean this house belongs to him too? This house was supposed to belong to our parents" Jeff asked totally confused by what Jean said.
Scott, Jean, Nathan studied here and they met some five to six years back. Later they started as friends and somehow got joined into council the same year they met. Later they use to visit council and also Jean’s mentor house which was the same house they are now staying in.
