The motivators could find their own way back. The reports could be written and filed beyond the deadlines. But there was nothing that could repair the damage his partner caused.
Agent Dioxide sweated profusely, and his heartbeat was fast, causing him a pain that made him almost pass out. His own adrenaline and urgency kept him awake. He was panicking; he had no idea how to restore this.
He rapped on his partner’s door and let himself in, his tone and breath exasperated from his pain, but his mood and anxiety said it all:
‘We may have royally screwed ourselves. I see what you’re typing, and Big Boss is not going to give a second’s worth of fuck about it.’
As he finished his sentence, an electronic ping sounded from Agent Caits’ laptop: an email had arrived from Dr. Jiang-Ping.
To: Agent Caits
From: Dr. Jiang-Ping

Tell me, Agent Caits. What will you tell Big Boss? That I am out of line with my methods? That this organization is insane and inhumane?
You dare tell me that after seeing this camera footage, you think we’re the inhumane ones?
Let me ask you this then: What is Subject 29?
The footage played – and they both heard the demonic laugh. Then the footage caught up, and it was now live and playing the scene in present-time.
‘Oh no. They’re going to kill her.’
Dr. Jiang-Ping got the order from Big Boss the second the email was sent. She fancied her chances: Subject 29 was still unconscious and under hallucinogenic and anesthetic control. If the bullet to the head won’t kill her, the hundreds of bullets all over her vital organs will.
‘Agent Dioxide, Agent Caits. Big Boss firmly believes in the progression of the human race with the advancements garnered from these Anomalies. However, Big Boss also believes that certain Anomalies cannot help us if they can’t be helped.
Under orders, Subject 29 is ordered to be terminated. Congratulations, you know one of our deep dark secrets.’
An evil smirk spread across her face before she turned to the motivator teams, giving the order to go. The clicks of their machine guns sounded they were ready. They were going to shoot a dosed, innocent girl strapped in harnesses without her even knowing.
Agent Dioxide was out of the room, sprinting back to the laboratory before the footage cut off.
‘COME ON! WE’VE GOT TO GET THERE NOW!’
