Prologue
She couldn't stop shaking even though they had been in the air for many hours, so he laid an arm around her shoulders in an attempt to clam her down.
"It's all right."
Her eyes were still big with fear.
"They will never let me go. I'm too important for them… but I can't do it anymore!"
He tried to comfort her.
"It's over. We are almost about to land, so there is no way they can hurt you now."
She shook her head.
"You don't know them. He has contacts all over the world. He will never let me go."
Before he could answer her came a stewardess over to them. She had a phone in her hand.
"Excuse me, Miss, but there is a phone call for you."
She took the phone, which the stewardess gave her, with shaking hands and put it to her ear, but froze as she recognized the voice.
"Well, my little girl, did you really think that I wouldn't be able to find you?"
She didn't say anything, so he just continued.
"I must say, that you almost fooled me, but you have also been trained by the best and as you already know: No one deceives me!"
He held a rhetorical pause.
"I'm just calling to let you know that we no longer needs your service, so I really hope you are going to enjoy your flight… or what is left of it!"
She dropped the phone, which in the same moment turned dead, and looked over on the man beside her with fearful eyes.
"Remy, They are going to kill me!"
In the same moment was there an explosion and the cabin began to be filled up with smoke…

The black helicopter landed next to the other helicopter and a group of people led by a young woman in a white coat ran over to it. The young woman opened the door in the helicopter and jumped in even before the rotor blades had stopped moving. She cast a quick glance over at the stretcher with the patient, before contacting the helicopter's doctor.
"How is he?"
The helicopter doctor took his helmet off and began to make the patient ready to get out of the helicopter.
"He is stable for now, but he took a big blow to the head so he still needs surgery."
The young woman nodded
"My team and I will take over now. We are very thankful for you collaboration."
She jumped out of the helicopter and ordered her team to take the patient over to the other helicopter. Her team instantly fulfilled her commanded and she was just about to walk after them, when the helicopter doctor grabbed her arm.
"You can't just take him like this. He needs medical attention!"
Their eyes met for a second and the coldness in hers made him released his grasp.
"I'm his doctor now and I will give him the medical attention that he needs!"
She quickly ran over to the other helicopter, where she jumped into the patient, who hastily had been loaded in while she had been talking to the other doctor. She quickly examined the patient to make sure that he condition still was stable, which it was.
"How is our Subject… which number is he, Dr. Lymstad?"
She looked over at the man next to the pilot.
"72! He is Subject 72 and he is stable for now, but we have to hurry back to the base, Mr. Sinister."
Sinister looked over at the patient and smiled. Finally he had him back after such a long time and this time he was never going to let him go!
