Summary: Dark Fic. One-Shot. The Government makes a fatal mistake.
Disclaimer: I don't own "Now and Again". If I did, it wouldn't have been canceled.
They wanted to make the ultimate weapon.
A biological killing machine capable of taking down any foe.
And eventually they succeeded in their mission…
But not in the way they had planned.
I killed the Doc first.
I twisted his head so far around on his neck that it nearly came off.
And then I laughed.
It was actually kinda funny the way he looked so surprised at my attack.
I mean, isn't that what he wanted all along?
Didn't he do all that work to make me into a killing machine?
I wanted more time to play with his remains but one of the guards shot me.
So I killed the guards too.
It took me a few weeks to find all of the Directors.
They tried to fight me, tried to hide…
Ha! They never had a chance against me.
One by one I came for them.
And one by one they died at my hands.
Eventually only one was left.
He tried to reason with me.
Tried to make me stop.
But I didn't stop.
I couldn't stop.
Not after what happened.
Not after what they did.
And in the end, in death, he looked just as surprised as all the rest.
I don't understand it.
It doesn't make any sense.
After all, this was their own fault:
They never should have killed my wife and daughter.
