Angel's P.O.V

I woke up to the sound of my door banging. 

*Bang bang*

I slowly got out of bed to check who it was. "Who is it?" i grabbed my pajama robe that was hanging behind the bathroom door. I make my way down stairs carefully not to trip. Finally I get to the door to notice a figure in front of my door step. I check threw the peep hole to realize it was one of my co-workers from work. But, what was he doing in the middle of the night? Kinda creepy if you ask me. Since he never came by my house this late at night before...

I unlocked my front door and opened it slighty so that he could see my face. 

"Angel....i'm sorry to wake you up this late at night. May i please come in? It's work related i promise" He sounded convincing and noticed how his minty eyes looked droopy as soon as he starred into my green ones. He looked really tired since i could tell by the way his messy white hair looked. Usually he would have his hair brushed down but since he had the habit on working late at night, his hair would mess up but it didn't seem to bother him as much. Dray was his name. 

"Of course. Please, come in..." I opened the door wider for him to come inside. I watched him step in and took off his shoes. Before i closed the door, i looked outside one last time just to be sure.

I turn my direction towards his way. I noticed how he made himself comfortable in my living room as i walked over to the couch in front of him. I offered him some tea and didn't seem to mind having some. 

"I see you're still living in the 21st centry style...don't you get tired of living like this? It's 2050..." He chuckled. He took a sip of the tea i passed him as i shook my head. 

"No. Not at all. I like living like this...the bills and rent are a lot cheaper compared to what people normally buy these days...but then again, nothing's cheap.." I gave him a small smile before crossing my arms and legs.

Once he was done drinking, he placed the tea cup down and showed me a report from his wrist watch. The hologram appeared floating in front of him so that I was able to see too. He made swipe motions with his pale hands to get to the documents he wanted to show me. I still find it unpleasant to have a guy at my place this late at night. Even if this time of century is different from before. I find it uncomfortable. Probably because I was raised old school just like my parents.

Changing the subject, Dray was a nice guy with good intentions. I first met him at my work place instead of outside from work. He was the first one to escort me and help me get threw the work environment from the laboratory building. For some reason, people at work find him odd. I only assume is because he's a workaholic and likes to eat from the floor. It's only natural to me since he's Korean. Most people like to order fast foods straight from there devices. It's where your food you ordered gets teleported right in front of you. No need to waste gas on your car anymore. I find it insane how our society and our technology have improved over the past years. 

I look back at Dray and place close attention to every detail he tells me about his report. In short, He explains how he needed people to run some tests for him on the lab. But he's not authorized to order people around to make the tests for him unless the boss approved. 

"Dray...I don't want to sound rude but...why don't you ask the boss for his approval? I mean, there's just regular tests right? ...We're trying to find a cure for viruses and other diseases for the public. That's our job" I change my expression to a concerned one hoping that I didn't offend him. 

He looked at me for a moment before lowering his gaze down. His gesture seem to have soften for a moment as if he did something wrong. 

"I-..." He hesitated to reply. 

"I'm...afraid to ask..." He shyly admitted. At that moment, It all made sense to me. The reason why he's been working over time is because he's naïve. I never imagined him being this way. Until now. How could I been so blind...

I felt sorry for him. He looked up from his sad gaze to meet my eyes.

"Angel...please don't tell anyone this but...i over heard a conversation between the boss-"

*ring*

We were suddenly interrupted by a phone call from his wrist watch. I glance back at the hologram to see who was calling him. But he immediately took the call before I had the chance to see the person calling.

"I'm sorry Angel, but I have to take this" He excused himself looking a little embarrassed. He went outside my house to take his sudden phone call. I was curious to know who it was.

Maybe his mother?  I thought.

5 minutes had passed until i noticed him coming back inside. His expression looked terribly concerned and came to face me.

His look was sweating a bit and i wanted to know what was going on.

"Dray? What's wrong?? Did something happened?" I clutched my hands together in a praying manner.

"Angel...pack your things...we need to evacuate now...I'll explain everything on the way. Just please take your things or anything that you need but we must go now!!" He exclaimed.

"Wait- Dray?! You're not making any sense-"

I felt his hands grip on my shoulders as he looked at me serious now. I wanted to know what was going on. Did something bad happen?...Or was he joking?

"Angel...please...trust me..." Dray changed his expression to a concerned one that made me change my mind. He wasn't lying.

"...Alright..." I began to pack my things immediately up stairs. I grabbed my suit case and stuffed as much clothes and things I needed to leave my home.

As soon as I was finished, I found Dray rushing over to help me take my things to his trunk. I wanted to know so desperately to what was going on. And who was the person that called him. I began to question myself on my mind as I kept grabbing everything that I needed from my place. 

I look back at my house one more time before Dray started his transportation. That's when I suddenly knew, I wasn't going to come back home...
