Chapter 53
Richard's POVThe cabin was all Romeo said it would be. Hidden deep in the mountains. Guarded by old government security which had not been updated over years. Yet, somewhere down the earth beneath the physical cabin, was something which no-one was to know about.A laboratory. A real laboratory. The type that the grandfather of Romeo had constructed decades ago when he was still struggling to save the world by technology rather than optimism."How is this possible?" Then, though we were going down the stairs to the under-facility, Emma questioned. How is it that your grandfather made something like this and the government did not know about it?"Money," I said. I was recalling some of the things that I had overheard
Chapter 52
Emma's POVI was in the safe bunker together with Richard when the wall began shaking. Not physically shaking. But I could sense it trembling through my association with Romeo. I felt that there was something going on on the other side. Something big. Something dangerous.At this point, my phone began buzzing. Texts of a patient unknown number. Coordinates. Locations. A map that was pointing to a place that I had never been. Some one was seeking to assist us out of the outside world. A person who was aware of what was in store. One who had a clue of what we had to search."Richard," I said urgently. "We are receiving messages. Somebody is attempting to show us the way to something serious.Richard glanced at what wa
Chapter 51
Romeo's POVThis was how I was now seeing the creatures through the eyes of Victoria, as they really were. Not as monsters. Not as enemies. As creatures were frightened and isolated and needed to feel comprehended. All the memories that Victoria shared with me were doors to their pain.I was able to view the laboratories where they were confined. I could see the scientists dissecting them like an insect. I would experience the suffering of the creatures when they were subjected to testing and examination and tortured again and again. The animals were not animals acting instinctively. They were living things with emotions and ideas and aspirations.Give me more, I said to Victoria. Her conscience was next to mine, and she was freely opening up things which must have been painful to her to recall. Give me all and I will come to know them well.The memories of Victoria were like a river running through me. I observed animals being taught how to talk. Learning to think. Learning to hope f
Chapter 50: Victoria Redemption
Victoria's POVRather, it was the punishment to be caught within the wall with Romeo, Emma, and Richard. My eternal suffering. But in some way, my commitment to my incarceration to three individuals that truly cared about one another was instructing me on something I never knew myself. It was educating me about the meaning of love.I was scared when Romeo informed us about the one year deadline. But I felt something else too. I felt responsible. I believed that my actions would have some meaning, which had never before happened in my life. My decisions would make a difference.Twenty Years a weapon I spent. One device that will be employed by the government agencies. He was in a kind of body, but not truly mine. And there I spent my last days being a terrorist. You know amongst those who wanted to destroy everything because I was suffering.However, now, the very fact that I shared consciousness with people who had been compassionate towards me even when
Chapter 49: The Traitor Among Us
Richard's POVI had lied so long I simply could not say the truth as like learning a new language. But I had to do it now. I had to tell Emma everything. Since, in case the creatures had decided to break through in hours, she must have known who I was and what I was actually doing.The helicopter landed on one of the underground bunkhouses in the Swiss Alps. One of my secret locations. It was one of the locations where I had kept government secrets all the decades. Emma was gazing at me as though she wanted to be told why. She did not know yet. She lacked understanding of what was going on.There is something I must say to you, I told him. I was trembling with a mixture of guilt and fear and regret. I must explain to you what I have been doing. I must explain to you my actua
Chapter 48: Emma's Discovery
Emma's POVThis barrier was not naturally failing. It was being designed to fail. This realization came as a physical blow to me. I was looking through old data files in Richard's government database and discovered the truth was hidden in thousands of lines of code.The barrier had an integral countdown. Not a flaw. Not an accident. Intentional. Someone had coded it to break at exactly one year. And that somebody had done it a very long time ago."Richard, get over here and look at this," I called out. And we were in a safe government facility now. A place where corporations could not find us. A place where we could work without interruption.Richard looked over my shoulder to the screen. His face turned completely white."This is your grandfather's signature," Richard said, pointing at the code. "This is certainly your grandfather's work." But why would he make the barrier fail? He was the person who protected it all his life."I closed my
