"He's got bags packed, looks like he was getting ready to leave."<br />

Emily turned back towards the now profusely sweating Jenner.<br />

"Where was I, oh yes, eighteen, nineteen..."<br />

"They're some sort of genetic company been around for a while. Some big shots were buying up<br />

embryos a few decades ago. They used to come out with a lot of drug patents a while ago, but<br />

they haven't had anything new for a while. Rumors are that their building sits on some sort of<br />

tunnel system which links up with the subway system. That's everything I know about them, I<br />

swear!"<br />

"Good boy. Now show me how to get into those tunnels. I don't ever want to see you again, got it<br />

Jenner? If I do, I will personally make it my mission to make sure your death is a slow and<br />

painful one, got it?"<br />

She gave him a shove towards the door, finally letting go of his throat, but keeping the pistol<br />

pointed towards him. Hesitantly and carefully Jenner reached beyond the desk and pulled out a<br />

disk.<br />

"Sure, no problem, I'll just grab my bags and be going then shall I? Here's the map, so we're<br />

even."<br />

"I don't think so, Jenner."<br />

"What? You can't do that!"<br />

Emily lifted her pistol slightly, just daring him to take one step forward, anything so that she<br />

could remove a bit of flotsam from the gene pool.<br />

"Ahm, on second thought, I'll just be going then shall I?"<br />

"Get out of my sight, Jenner."<br />

"Major, can you hear me?"<br />

"Julie, you ok?"<br />

The redhead sighed and leaned back against the rough, stone wall behind her. Glaring at the<br />

force field that covered the entrance to the small cell she'd been put into, she shook her head.<br />

"I guess. What about you guys?"<br />

"I'm alright, I don't know where the others are. What did Whittecker want with you?"
