CHAPTER 12
"Mr. Luthor?"
"It's about goddamn time. You were supposed to call with an update an hour ago."
"He's rather difficult to follow, sir."
"Oh. Well then, if it's getting too difficult for you, maybe I should hire someone else to look into this."
"I'm sorry, sir."
"I'm sure you are. Now are we going to waste more time with polite chit-chat or are you going to tell me the results of the investigation."
"You were correct in your deduction that he has taken up the revitalization project. He has obtained a sample of blood he believes to be integral to the process, using a DNA mutation."
"It seems I've underestimated him once again. Who's the target?"
"A Mr. Gabriel Sullivan. I believe he was under your employment from 2000 to 2004."
"Very interesting. I expect there to be a complete set of medical documents on my desk by the end of the day. I've been playing nice for far too long. My son needs to learn a lesson regarding what happens when you attempt to profit from the brilliance of others."
