Chapter 6
Hidden Agenda
The sound of a man half-talking, half growling buzzed through Alex's head. He seemed to be talking to himself. Alex had his eyes closed listening to the sounds around him. His body was surprisingly warm and his shoulder had no pain at all. But his head pounded like a hammer was booming on the side of his head.
"Subject seems to be recovering, but the drug has not taken effect," the man said in a low voice. "Will increase dose in the next week to 2 ml."
Alex slowly opened one eye but quickly closed it as a bright light hit it. He laid there for a moment then opened both of them. After the shock of the light had hit his eyes a figure started to materialize in front of him. It was a creature that looked like it had wolf and human characteristics twisted together. He tried to move but he was tied down to a table, he looked around frantically and saw all sorts of medical equipment. He looked over and saw a saw blade shining in the light next to his head. It was a bright room with no windows but a very large mirror next to a door. Florescent lights lit the room and a metal door looked to be the only was out of this strange room. Alex was tugging on his reassurance but it was no use. The creature turned around and snarled angrily and walked over to him and bent down. Alex looked at his face and saw his shining gold eyes studying him.
"There is no use trying to escape that is unless you can shatter steel," the creature growled.
"Who are you?" Alex demanded.
"I believe you already know who I am," he said holding up the dog tags in the air.
"Owen Jameson?" Alex muttered almost to himself.
The creature only smiled at him reveling his white dagger like fangs. "You are such a smart one, but now I go by the name of Koren."
"Why do you have me tied up like this?" Alex asked.
"Because I can't have my test rat running off on me now can I?" Koren answered walking over to a table. He picked up a needle and walked towards Alex. He raised a recorder to his mouth. "Giving subject another dose of the drug."
"Get the hell away from me!" Alex yelled out, he struggled and managed to brake one of his bindings and he punched Koren in the face. He fell to the floor and was knocked out. Alex managed to brake his other restraint and headed for the door. He went to open it but before he could get there someone else opened it. It was Asazi she had a gun in her hand.
"Am I glade to see you this freak was going to inject some sort of drug into me," Alex exclaimed running up to her. Looking back at the creature lying on the ground.
Asazi just smiled at him and raised the gun to his head. "I know," she whispered.
Alex looked at Asazi she had a cruel smile on her face. Anger started to build inside of him, after saving her life and giving her food and shelter she would do this to him. He glared at her with pure hate in his eyes, His fist were clenched.
"Oh don't be such a drama queen, you should have know that this was going to happen, how stupid are you," she started to pull back on the trigger Alex could hear the sound of the gun clicking into position. Alex closed his eyes and clenches his teeth getting ready for the bullet to blow out his brains.
"Stop Asazi!" Koren yelled out. Asazi looked at him with surprise but kept her gun level to Alex's head. Koren brushed blood from his face from the hit he had just taken. He stepped in front of Alex and lowered the barrel of the gun. "Do not harm him I still must finish my experiment before he can be exterminated," he stumbled over behind Alex and jabbed a needle into the back of Alex's neck. Alex yelled out in pain as the metal made it's way into his flesh. After the pain stopped he started to feel drowsy and dizzy his body was all num. He reached out towards Asazi. "I won't forget this," he mumbled and fell onto the floor and passed out.
When Alex finally woke up again he was again tied up but with many more restraints then before. His head hurt and his neck. He looked over and saw Asazi talking with Koren and he looked upset. Alex could hear their muffled voices.
"You told me that your employer this Dr. X was going to pay me as soon as possible but I see that he does not stand by his word!" Koren yelled.
"Well I'm sorry but we were a little delayed," Asazi replied looking over at Alex, then looked back at Koren, "Listen he will get you the money for your services I promise."
"Promises? They mean nothing to you and your counsel of doom, if Dr. X does not pay me in three days you will pay the price," Koren walked past Asazi and left the room. Asazi followed him with her eyes as he walked past. As soon as he was gone she sat on a chair and put her head into her hands.
"Looks like you're in some deep shit," Alex laughed hoarsely.
She looked up and glazed at him. "I wouldn't be laughing if I was you, right now that drug is slowly morphing you into what Koren is."
"Ya what the hell is going on, what is he doing to me?" Alex asked.
"He is testing a new drug out on you to see if it will turn you into something like him," Asazi answered.
"Oh great, what's his story any way?" Alex said lying back on the bed looking up at the ceiling.
"Well he told me that when he was 18 he joined the army, well his father forced him to join because he was sorta a bad kid. He was given an assignment up here in Alaska with some other young soldiers. They were given this drug that was suppose to." the door flew open and Koren entered.
"Asazi what are you telling him?" Koren demanded. He walked over to Asazi and grabbed her by the arm. "I would keep my mouth shut if I was you. I have many instruments here that would make a person into nothing more then a vegetable in a matter of seconds. And if you still want to be able to know who and were you are, do not speak to him about are little test's," Koren let go of Asazi and started to walked towards the door. He turned around "And do not say any thing about my life," he said in a threatening voice he turned around and left the room once again.
Asazi stood there for a moment then looked over at Alex, "How did he know I was talking to you that door is made out of metal?"
"I think I know how, walk over to that mirror and put your finger on it." Asazi looked at him with confusion on her face but did what he said.
"Ok Einstein now what?" she said with her free arm resting on her hip.
"Look and see if your finger touches the image of your finger in the mirror," Alex said lifting his head to see.
Asazi just shook her head not knowing what he was up to but looked closely. "That's odd they don't there is some sort of gap in-between them."
"I thought something was strange about that mirror. As soon as I saw it."
"What?"
"That is no ordinary mirror it is a two way mirror he can watch us from the other side and I'm guessing he has a speaker to listen to us as well."
"But why would he need to watch me?"
"I think I'm not the only prisoner here," Alex said slowly.
