She was brought to a windowless room that had many locked cabinets lining the walls. A table and a few chairs sat in the middle of the room. Roughly and wordlessly, Maddox pushed Jaden into a chair and remained standing behind her, hands on her shoulders. James opened one of the cabinets and extracted a small bottle of a cloudy white liquid. Taking a syringe from a nearby drawer, filling it with the strange substance. Sitting on the edge of the table beside her, James said in a soft voice, "I may be forced to train you, but that does not mean I have to put up with bullshit like your little temper tantrum back in my office. This will be but a taste of what I can do."
Jaden frowned, afraid and confused. Next thing she knew, Maddox seized her arm in a vice like hold and slammed it down on the table. He'd struck a nerve ending on the tabletop, causing numbness to shoot up and down her arm. At that instant, James stabbed the needle into her arm, slowly pushing the plunger. Jaden howled in agony as the serum entered her bloodstream, her veins felt as if they were burning in an inferno.
As soon as James withdrew the needle from her arm, Maddox released her. Almost instantly, Jaden slumped off her chair, thudding onto the concrete flood, curling into the fetal position. As she writhed in pain, the world around her seemed to go black, until it was as if she was floating in a pool of night; still able to breath, but unable to move or see.
For what seemed like hours, Jaden tried to escape the blackness, until in a rush of pain and blinding light, she was brought back to her body. She found herself sprawled out on a cold patch of concrete floor. She could smell blood. She could taste death, but she didn't know why.
She moved her head and scrambled back from the sight before her with a scream of terror. Jaden had awoken to stare into the eyes of a corpse. The man's head rested at an odd angle, and there was a great blood pool around him, which Jaden now realized she had been lying in. His entire body showed signs of torture, and the look on his face made it very clear that his passing had not been peaceful. She sat huddled in the corner, having a staring contest with the deceased one. From somewhere across the room, she heard a chuckle.
Jaden's eyes jerked away from the bloody sight before her to the sound of the voice. Leaned up against the wall, laughing coldly, stood James. When his laugher subsided, he took one look at Jaden and began mocking her again; his laughter echoing off the walls of the concrete room. "What is so funny?" Jaden snarled, painfully rising to her feet. Her head was pounding and her mouth ached; she knew that she needed and wanted blood, but she tried to hide it. When fully upright, she glared hatefully at the older man.
Finally controlling himself James answered, "the look on your face." He sneered, "It was priceless!"
"Fuck off," Jaden spat, awkwardly climbing over the corpse and making her way towards the door.
"What, don't you want to stay to admire your work?" James asked, a hint of mockery in his voice.
Jaden turned towards him slowly and wearily asked, "What are you talking about?"
He smirked and gestured to the body saying, "That."
Jaden's eyes followed his gesture and asked, "Who is he?" When she looked back to him, he gave a look of wide-eyed innocence.
"You don't remember?" he asked, in all image, sincerely confused. "It was to you that he admitted he was Agent Patrick Donahue."
"What?" Jaden asked, her voiced cracking slightly. Patrick Donahue had been in her graduating class of the Academy; her former boyfriend; her friend. It couldn't be, a shocked voice said in her head. Jaden staggered against the wall, heart hammering. "You're lying," she breathed, eyes wide.
James smiled and shook his head, "nope, sorry Korr, but no," he replied, "It was you who interrogated him tonight and determined him a spy for the Organization."
"No," Jaden said adamantly, shaking her head. "I'd never betray or hurt the Agents. Never."
James rolled his eyes and said, "well then it's a wonder what one can do when stoned out of their mind on obedience drugs."
"Obedience drugs?" she asked, her voice little more than a whisper.
Smiling, James replied, "Yup," he feinted a look of fascination as he added, "its amazing what acts one can do, when they are not in control of themselves."
What he was saying sunk in an instant later. Rage rose in Jaden's chest as she screamed, "You fucking bastard! You made me kill an Agent!"
James's eyes shifted back and forth and he said simply, "Yes." Jaden screamed in wordless fury, swinging a wild punch at him. James was expecting such a reaction; he grabbed her arm and flipped her over his hip, slamming her into the ground. Jaden twisted out of his grip, rolling to her feet and kicking out. He seized her leg and jerked it out from under her, sending her crashing to the ground. When Jaden tried to regain her footing, he kicked her in the side, causing her to collapse down to the floor again. James reached down and seized by the hair, dragging his student to her feet, saying calmly, "didn't you learn anything from our last disagreement?"
Jaden punched him in the stomach and his grip on her hair slipped, and she yanked free, dashing out the door. She tore down the corridor, running as fast as she could. The entire complex seemed to be a labyrinth of cement and florescent lighting. When she rounded one corner, she slammed into a woman wearing what looked like a nurse's uniform, knocking her to the floor. During the instances that she was tangled up with the nurse, Jaden's panic level mounted higher. She struggled to her feet and began sprinting down the hall again.
As a student at the Academy, she had been forced to run great distances. Once the physical education professor made the students run for 3 miles before being allowed to drink and have a rest. As an Agent, Jaden was unbeatable; she could run as fast as she possibly could for 2-and-a-half miles before her hands started to tremble. But as a Vampire, she felt invincible. She knew she'd been running hard for several minutes, but she didn't even feel short of breath.
She came to a new section of hall. One part lead left, the other right. It was chose one direction or go back the way she came. She chose left. After sprinting maybe a hundred yards, a door burst open beside her, and an instant later agony laced through her entire being. Falling to her knees, she gasped, mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water would, clutching at her chest.
Jaden collapsed, rolling onto her back as she stared up at the ceiling. Into her vision loomed James, and he looked viciously pleased. Jaden then grew very afraid as possibly scenarios of what he was about to do played out in her head. Already he'd drugged her. What would he do next, she wondered as her vision faded and she lost consciousness for the second time that night.
