PART 14
Eli's voice resounded with
astonishing force through the hidden complex. "He's what?!"
"Missing, sir," the lab assistant cringed away from the sound. "Omega Two is missing."
"How?!"
"It appears that he escaped with another's help, sir. Would you like-"
"Who?!"
The assistant cringed again. "We're not sure, sir…"
"You're not sure…" The older
man's voice turned dangerously soft. He
chuckled. "You're. Not. Sure."
The lab assistant looked like he was ready to collapse into a puddle of goo.
Eli tilted his head to the side. "Get out of my sight."
The man hurriedly scurried away, thanking the gods for the scientist's
mercy. Kiltcher watched him go without
emotion. He could think of very few
people who had the access to allow Lebeau to get free and escape unnoticed.
There was, in fact, only one name that came to mind.
Damn you, Madeleine. I thought you
would have learned by now that you cannot defy me. Do you not realize that I am soon to be a god? My destiny is so close that I can taste
victory in my mouth, and you suddenly feel the need to go quality of life. Ah, well, my dear; you're usefulness had
nearly come to its end anyway.
Kiltcher walked over to one of his many computers and began typing. Thankfully,
he had had the foresight to implant a tracking device in the base of the boy's
skull, so finding him would prove to be no difficult task. He pressed a button and initiated the
tracer. Madeleine would not be so easy
to exterminate, but it would be well worth the effort. Kiltcher needed the boy to provide him with
security from Essex, and the young man's presence was imperative to further
both his understanding of the Pandora and the Portals. Maddie would no doubt provide too much of an
obstacle to allow her to live, and he didn't put it past her to run to Essex
and ruin his entire operation- her loyalty to him was luke-warm and erratic
even at the best of times.
A red flashing light appeared on the monitor and he hit the intercom button
that connected him to the mercenaries who worked for him. "I need five of you do a little job for
me."
A gruff voice, thick with sleep, answered him. "We'll be there in a few minutes."
Eli removed his hand from the button and smiles. He refused to be angry over this latest development. The boy would be safely back in his hands
soon enough. The men would be sure to
see to it without his presence. He was,
after all, a god, and such petty moral concerns were beneath him.
