Synopsis: Cassie takes a job and ends up way over her head
Gysbornes men slammed the door shut and locked the cage. Cassie watched them under a curtain of hair until the cage was fully locked and Gysborne, Sarah and the commandoes left. Once more they plunged them into darkness.
The drugs already wore off, and she lifted herself off the knife she stole from the commando. She held it up, and felt for her wrist. Once she found it she inserted the tip of it underneath the cuff and moved it back and forth with a sawing motion until it snapped off. Using her free hand she quickly unbuckled the restraints and stood up which proved difficult in her tiny cage.
Quickly she shifted and slid out between the bars in liquid form. Several second later she was standing in front of Seth’s cage letting her hand feel the lock on his cage. It was a simple combination lock. Dropping to her knees, she held it up to her ear and slowly turned it while listening to the tumbler. Once she heard a click, she turned it again until she felt it was ready to open. With a yank, she popped the lock off and opened his cage. Seth already healed, something which continued to amaze her.
“Let’s go blow this place up,” she whispered in the darkness.
“Hell yeah,” Seth said and slowly pulled himself together. “Hurts like a son of a bitch when this happens.
“I’m glad you’re okay. I can’t even imagine what that must have felt like. Lead the way.” she said before taking the knife she stole from the guard and slipping it into the belt behind her back. Quietly she walked behind him and before they rounded a corner she grabbed his arm and stopped him. “They have cameras all over this place,” she whispered as she discreetly pointed towards the supply closet. “I think we need to blend in so that they don’t get suspicious and know we’re coming. It might be the best way to get to Gysborne. I don’t know about you, but that tranquilizer made my skin itch.”
“Growing Flesh makes my skin itch, but good call,” Seth said.
Cassie darted towards the supply closet, opened it up and stepped inside. Turning around she waved for Seth to come over. Once he was in the closet, she shut the door and locked it. There wasn’t much room to move around between buckets and mops but she found two janitor suites and handed one to him. Unzipping hers she stepped into it, grabbed the knife behind her and zipped it up. She completed the disguise with a hat and tucked her long black hair into it. The last thing she did was stick the knife into the belt of the suit.
She stepped out of the closet and came face to face with two commandos. “What are you two doing?” They asked suspiciously.
“Supplies,” she said reaching her hand behind her back and caressing the hilt of the knife with a lovers touch.
“You,” the commando pointed towards Seth. “I’ve seen your face before; now tell me where have I seen you?”
“I was on the cover of Janitors weekly. You must have just seen me around here cleaning,” Seth said.
“They have Janitors weekly?”
“No dumbass he was being sarcastic.”
“Move along.”
“Yeah we’re going to do that,” Seth said.
***
Gysborne and Sarah watched the interaction between Seth, Cassie and the security guards over the security camera implanted in Cassie’s earlobe. Sarah performed the procedure when she was unconscious prior to electrocution. Gysborne could predict both of their movements after observing their interaction in the cells.
“Was it worth it? Getting both of their DNA? Will the serum work?” Gysborne asked impatiently as she turned the volume up on the loudspeaker.
“I’ll know in a few days, I have to perform the procedure,” she spoke calmly as she studied Seth on the monitor. She found him fascinating and would love to poke, prod and experiment on him.
“Is the plant ready?” Gysborne turned around and watched Sarah inject a serum into the test subject’s body which would give them complete control over their mind.
“Yes,” Sarah said removing the needle. The fearless scientist stared into the subjects eyes and spoke her instructions. “She’s ready.”
Gysborne pulled out a knife and gripped it in his hand. With a quick slashing motion he sliced the blade across the cheeks and arms of the subject just as he heard seth say “Yeah we’re going to do that.”
***
“No not at all,” The commando replied. “Get to work.”
Cassie pulled her cap down low and pushed a mop and a bucket. The wheels squealed as if in desperate need of WD-40. “Seriously? Janitors weekly? You flatter yourself way to much…”
The loud wail cut off her rant. The subject Gysborne and Sarah released into the building was a plant. The goal was for Cassie and Seth to find her, injured, alone and needing assistance. Once she gained their trust, she would use her ability to bring out their worst fears. Gysborne hopped Seth would turn on Cassie and kill her.
“Help me,” she said holding out her bloody arms and reaching for Seth before she collapsed in his arms.
