"MR MATTHEW !" a loud and desperate voice shouted.
The late middle aged man ran down the hall towards an office. He wore a lab coat which fluttered behind him as he ran.
"Graham, what seems to be the problem ?" the man behind the desk asked quietly, as the scientist burst through his door.
"He knows !! He knows we have her !!"
"How did you obtain this information?"
"One of the observers sent back a report. He is on his way now !"
Mr Matthews hummed and gestured for Graham to sit on the other seat.
"How can you be so calm ?!" Graham shouted. "I've seen the reports and holotapes. You have no idea what he is capable of, hell he has no idea!"
Mr Matthews nodded thoughtfully.
"Who holds his contract ?"
"The girl."
"He will do anything to protect his mistress. It's his training." Mr Matthews coughed, if she was his mistress they were indeed in trouble.
"Sir... But he loves her. That's what she said. She loves him. If she is his mistress and they have another stronger bond, he will fight."
"He better fight ! Or he was a waste of money." Matthews laughed nastily. "He doesn't love her. Can't love her, he was eradicated of all emotions. It's part of the training."
"Even if he doesn't she still holds his contract." The scientist slumped in his seat.
Matthews clasped his hands together.
"And I know a way to change that."
.....
Janet felt cool water run from her forehead. Her vision was still blocked and she was still bound but the cold compress was sweet relief in her hell.
"It's me don't panic." a gruff voice whispered.
"Charon ?" she murmured.
The voice laughed. "Not quite kid."
Janet recognised the voice but was too drowsy to open her eyes or do much else.
"Are you helping them ?" her voice rose but was harsh due to lack of talking.
"No! No." the voice whispered back angrily "I've done a lot of terrible things but this isn't right. I've been helping you."
"How ?"
"Screwing up blood results. Messing with Data. Kid if they knew what I knew there would be a lot more trouble."
"What do you know ?"
"Your baby is strong. So strong, it's resistant to infection, radiation you name it. It will heal fast and live long. The baby is a smoothskin, but the skin is hard and resistant and he has the endurance of a ghoul."
"He ?!" Janet gasped.
"Sorry kid, I wasn't thinking."
"No, no its okay. Might as well think of names while I'm under."
Both chuckled quietly.
"I've seen the 3D scan. He's just like his father. Didn't know the bastard had it in him"
Janet began to cry "You have to get us out."
"I know. I know and I am."
When ?" Janet's pulse began to beat faster in anticipation.
"Not for a while. I can't defend you on your own. Especially when you're this big, but I've called reinforcements and I have a plan."
"How did you do this all ?"
The voice chuckled darkly and rubbed her hand.
"Kid the difference between you and I, is that I have training."
