The next day, the lights came on, the hustle and bustle of the scientists came, and Dr. Peters remained, wrapped up in the simple green sheet of her cot. This continued for what must have been hours before that booming voice came from behind the camera.
"Good afternoon, Dr. Peters."
She moved the covers to see who was talking to her. Her face was pale, and she had dark circles under her eyes. Her face was covered in tear and blood stains.
"I see you received the little visitor I sent you." Strauer drummed his fingers on one of the cell door's bars.
"You're a monster."
"Perhaps. Though, it's people like you who give people like me their power. Either way, you need not suffer much longer. Our experiment is already under way."
She stared at him, not shocked, but definetly horrified.
Strauer spoke again. "Yes, your... offspring will bear DNA similar to that of the 'gum rat' you created."
"And then what?"
"We'll see when it comes. Who knows, perhaps you will taste freedom again."
