Imperishable Intergalactic Romance - 8 Forged
“Wait,” Abigail said suddenly.
They went near again and saw a certificate below one of the legs of the drawers. She didn’t notice it earlier because she was focused only on the drawers.
She went near the drawers and bent down and picked up the certificate. Earlier when she snapped her fingers she had made the room turn back to the state in which it was before they entered.
However, she never thought she would find something important.
She called Rebecca to come inside the cabin again.
They both got stunned on seeing her certificates. Actually, the photo of the person in the certificate and Ellie’s face were different.
They decided to check the drawers again.
This time when Rebecca tried to open a drawer she couldn’t open it. “Why can’t I open this drawer?” She grumbled.
“Maybe it is stuck. Try a little harder” Abigail said.
Abigail snapped her fingers secretly. The drawer opened.
While Abigail knew where Ellie ‘s certificate is. So she directly opened that drawer and rummaged through it. She found what she needed.
She pulled Rebecca near and showed her the certificates.
They both started to analyze their findings and tried to find the differences between the certificates.
They knew how forged certificates are made in some universities but they were shocked to see that a fake certificate can be made for a University like Saint Petersburg too.
Every university has a different pattern for designing a certificate. Fortunately, Abigail also came from Saint Petersburg State University.
Therefore she knows the features of the certificate of Saint Petersburg State University.
Normally certificates are made of parchment papers. However, the certificates of this university are made of laid paper which has 0.7 mm thickness.
Actually, Laid paper has a similar finish to handcrafted paper; its finely ribbed appearance is created in the production process as the paper is made on wire molds that give it a characteristic watermark of close thin lines.
The font used to certify a person is Avant-Garde, it’s a classic sans serif font type.
Then a special type of seal is stamped on it.
And a bar code is printed on the certificate.
Also when a special type of light, available only in Saint Petersburg State University is shone on it, an invisible number can be seen.
So, forging a certificate from their college was next to impossible.
It is a wonder that how come a bit*h like Ellie forged this. If she is a culprit then the original owner of the certificates must be suffering so badly.
Abigail took her certificates as she wanted to investigate this personally. If she is lucky she will find the details by tomorrow and can have a good show to see.
She closed her cabin door and locked it with her power. The cameras in the cabins and corridors were turned to the opposite side which helped them complete their work without any security trouble.
“Let’s have lunch. I will die from hunger if I don’t eat now.” Abigail said as she waved her hand dramatically and clutched her stomach.

Rebecca was also anticipating a good show but she didn’t know so many interesting things will happen.
Abigail had asked her to stamp her seal on both the records and softcopy. She was confused but she did it anyway.
Then she swapped both the digital and the hardcopy of her notes. She felt quite thrilled and was eagerly waiting for tomorrow’s show.

They went to a nearby restaurant.
They entered and sat at a table.
Abigail got a call at that time. After talking she ended the call and placed her mobile on the table. At this moment Rebecca saw her background picture.
“You still didn’t forget about him”
