Kyper Files 015 -- Botanical Gardens

A loud pounding on my door got my attention. I put the tablet down and went to open the door. Kyper stuck his head out of my room to punctuate his displeasure with a hiss, and then darted back inside. I rolled my eyes and looked to see who had knocked, if you could call it a knock and not someone with a rubber mallet.

“You changed the code,” was the first thing I heard.

“Yes because privacy around here is under rated. What's wrong?” I asked.

“The photosynthesis pollen count is up twelve percent and the plants seem to be …hostile.”

“Hostile? You mean more hostile than trying to eat someone just because they walked through the lab hostile?”

“Um… yes?” the lab coat said and glanced back towards the lab.

“I'll be there in a minute,” I said on a sigh. The lab coat nodded and darted off.

I stepped back inside and put my boots on.

“Kyper? You staying here buddy? Probably a good idea, seems the plants are… hostile.”
