Chapter 9
Anderson Will Suffice
" Hello, Fang," said Anderson, walking into the white cell. He had arrived back at the Institute after a fruitless search for Wolf. Fang couldn't hear him. He was unconcious. He was still chained to the table and Anderson once again carried an attache case. Anderson set the case down and popped open the latches. He took out a syringe, again filled with a dark chemical. The difference was that this one was sludgy, not watery. He gave Fang a gentle slap in the face. Fang jolted awake.
" You," he growled, looking disgustedly at Anderson.
" Yes, me," Anderson said, violently stabbing the syringe into Fang's neck. The sludgy chemical was injected into his body. Then it oozed back out through his pores, crawling across every inch of his skin.
" Me, me, me," Anderson said as he watched the chemical envelope Fang's eyes and head. It now covered every inch of his body. Then it went back into his pores. Instead of Fang, and exact copy of Agent Anderson lay on the table, right down to the suit and sunglasses.
" Me too," said the new Anderson amusedly. The original Anderson unchained the new one. He stood up and Agent Anderson adjusted his copy's tie.
" Thank you," said Fang/Anderson in his exact voice.
" My pleasure," said the original. Then Anderson's cell phone rang. Fang/Anderson raised an eyebrow. Anderson smiled and answered it. He heard the message and abruptly hung up.
" Time to visit some old friends," he said. The new Anderson smiled and seemed to morph, except not into a wolf but into Fang's body. The original Anderson smiled.
" Tell them I said hi," he growled. The new Fang/Anderson nodded and walked out of the room, still in Fang form.
Anderson walked into a hi-tech control room. Scientists were mulling about, typing on computers and looking sciency. Anderson walked to a large screen where Walker, Hall, and King were standing. They were watching a black dot move toward a cluster of colored dots on a GPS screen.
" We have him?" asked Anderson.
" Yes," said Walker.
" This is going to be fun," said Anderson, smiling in anticipation.
