Chapter 37 – Back in the Evil Lair
Black Ghost had not been happy with Sir's failure. In fact, Sir had a short amount of time to get it all right before Black Ghost turned him into an example. In response to that, Sir had personally insured the execution of the guards who had been fooled by the girl. Sometimes, he wondered what was wrong with them, besides the fact they were idiots.
However, he only had a year in which to at least get a scent of Alice, considering she and her friend had disappeared off the face of the earth. One year. That wasn't very long when it was one year to live. At least he had managed to discover that the girl was the research. Oh, it was difficult, but he had found it out after they had captured her. And the guards had been distracted with illusions.
Sir had then done the intelligent thing and had some of his goons look up what Dr. Kirshner had been trying to ply Black Ghost with. A study to unlock the hidden potential in any human in the world through a series of tests. Tests that were missing and the only way that he could get them was to find that thrice-damned girl!
And those cyborgs as well! He knew capturing the cyborgs had been a bad idea. A very bad idea. Now, he would focus on Alice. She couldn't stay with the cyborgs for long, and they'd probably be disappearing away. He paced around his office and then slammed his fists on the table. "Alice Heinrich, I will have you yet!" he vowed, before he stormed away from his desk.
Black Ghost was shrouded in the darkness, hiding in the shadows. And they were not pleased. Not only had Sir failed to get Alice, he had failed to capture any of the renegade cyborgs. And Black Ghost had just perfected a method to get rid of their free-will. Now, they just had to test it.
And they had the perfect test subjects.
