As they were walking, Mia stepped on something with a soft crunch.
She got scared and quickly stepped back to check what it was. The room was pitch dark, making it impossible for her to see the floor. After a moment, she reached down and grabbed something lying there.
"Tina, look, I found something!" she said in a whispering sound, holding up an object.
Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps.
"Mia, let's go!" Tina said and grabbed Mia's hand, and they quickly left the place.
Once they escaped the darkness, they went to an empty corner to check what they got.
"It's an ID," Mia said in a slightly relaxed tone.
"Let me see," Tina said in a commanding voice while snatching the ID from Mia's hand.
"You are right, but whose ID is this? Also, there is no name on it, and what's with this number?"
"Maybe it is some sort of unique code?" Mia said
Their expressions changed as if they had solved an extremely difficult puzzle.
As they were talking, they heard a faint sound; someone was calling their names in a low voice.
As they followed the voice, they saw James. When he spotted them, he rushed over and pulled them aside.
"Where have you two been?" he asked, his voice a mix of anger and concern. "I've been looking everywhere for you ! Didn't you both go to the programming lab?" He paused.
"DID YOU FIND anything?" he asked in a curious tone, his expressions filled with curiosity and hope.
"Yes, we found this," Mia said while showing the ID to James.
"An ID!" James said in an excited tone.
"But whose ID is it?" James continued.
"We don't know, as no name is written on this," Tina replied.
Mia started explaining, "When we reached there, it was dark, and we were not able to see anything. We tried to find something, but the only thing we got is this."
"Where did you find this?" James asked.
"We found it on the floor," Mia replied.
"I don't think that this is a normal ID," Tina said.
James examined the ID and said, "I think you are right, this ID is not ordinary... I think this is a unique code which is written on the ID."
He further examined the ID; when he turned it around, there was a small logo printed on it.
Mia saw the logo and said, "Look, there is a logo here."
"What kind of logo is this?" James said in a curious tone as the logo was not familiar.
"Don't know, maybe it has something that has a link with this matter..."
Their expressions were becoming more and more tense as they were discussing.
