The Mighty Kong

by psychoalessandro180

Jack Driscoll is subjected to a project that turns him into a beast; a huge euphoric gorilla dubbed by the media as Kong, hides in the shadows to search for an antidote, but while pursued by the army, he must seek help from an old colleague of work, which he can not forget.

4. Is there a Cure?

Later...

Jack meets with a subject in the streets, he promised him something.

Nicolás: "¿Entós qué, loco?". (Then what, crazy?).

Jack Driscoll: "Do you have it?"

Nicholas: "Sorry friend."

Jack Driscoll: "Damn."

Then Nicholas makes a face.

Nicolás: "Broma, loco...aquí tienes". (Joke, crazy...here you go".

Nicolás gives Jack some plants, Jack is happy.

Jack Driscoll: "Thank you."

Jack and Nicolas shake hands, then Jack quickly walks home.

Jack Driscoll: "With this, I'll finally get out of here."

Jack takes out his laptop and prepares his chemical kit, to motivate himself he puts a photo of Ann next to him. He contacts a subject codenamed Mr. Reptile. He writes to her.

Jack Driscoll: "Reptile, are you there?"

Jack's code name is Mr. Monkey.

Mr. Reptile: "Mr. Monkey, I'm glad to hear from you after a long time... my mysterious friend."

Jack Driscoll: "I found it".

Mr. Reptile: "In good time, the flower is pretty, isn't it?"

Jack opens the leaves that Nicolás gave him and sees that it is a flower, for medicinal purposes.

Mr. Reptile: "I'm telling you, try a higher dose...good luck."

Jack cuts the leaves off the flower, makes a mixture creating-apparently-a kind of serum. With a drop of his blood he does a test, he pours a little of the serum into his blood and through a microscope he observes, at first it seems to have an effect... but suddenly... everything falls apart, it does not serve as a cure . Jack is frustrated.

Jack Driscoll: "Damn."

And he writes to Mr. Reptile.

Jack Driscoll: "One more failure."

Mr. Reptile: "How much of the flower did you use?"

Jack Driscoll: "The whole flower."

Mr. Reptile: "It's time to meet."

Jack denies it.

Jack Driscoll: "No, it's not sure yet."

Mr. Reptile: "You know it's not safe either?...living poisoned with kaiju radiation, forget about the flowers and send me a blood sample."

Jack isn't sure about that.

Mr. Reptile: "He doesn't, I won't be able to help him."

Jack has no choice, he takes a sample of his blood and sends it by express parcel to New York. After this, he decides to take a break.
