MAN FROM TOMORROW (EPISODE 74)

Anita went out of the lab overwhelmed by what Professor Antonio had just told them. Perhaps, it was too heavy for a person to listen, leave alone digest what they just discussed, Martin assumed.

Martin was ready to spend the next few hours mentally reviewing that information and getting what else he could from it. He wanted to ruminate on this most unusual of cases. 

Before leaving the lab, Martin told the professor that as and when he concluded his tests, he should give those results to Martin in writing in the form of a report. This report could serve as evidence based on which Martin intended to plan his further course of action. If things went as per his plan, after the tests were over and Kevin regained consciousness, Martin had thought to somehow smuggle Kevin, Anita and the professor into New York. 

Once there, he would arrange a press conference where he would declare to the world that a man like Kevin existed in their midst. Once Kevin's special nature was publicised to the world it would ensure that the Federal government gave Kevin, Anita, and the professor maximum security. True, Martin would surely lose his job. But at least the people involved would be alive. Somehow at the back of his mind, he suspected that no one in his department was to be trusted. This plan seemed the most logical way out where everyone would live. Other than this, Martin had nothing. And Martin knew he had nothing.

Another day passed. Martin was sitting on the couch in Professor Antonio's large living room, staring at the flat screen television. When Anita came into the room, he was still staring at it in a dream like fashion, but the screen was just as black as it was twenty minutes prior; he never turned it on to serve as background noise.

Anita stood in the corner of Martin's vision; her arms crossed. It took him several seconds to notice her, and realized she wanted something from him. He cocked his head in her direction, not showing any interest in her.

“What?” he asked.

"We're going out," Anita said; her tone leaving no room for argument.
