But how was that possible with just a day or two having passed? It wasn’t. It was impossible. I must be imagining it.

Then I felt a thud.

I pulled my hand away immediately.

A kick?

After a couple of days?

Impossible…

The wall shimmered and Junic stepped in my cell.

Was this it? I wondered. Could this be my way out of here?

I needed her to make one slip up, a single mistake, and I could get out of there.

A gap for me to slip through and I could make it to Trayem.

Behind her stood two large guards with those shock rifles clasped tightly in their hands. Beyond them, the other scientists weren’t present. It was the first time I’d seen them all not working. The room seemed empty without them.

“Please take a seat,” Junic said. “I’m here to check on the baby and fix any complaints you might have.”

“Keep away from me, bitch,” I said, taking my own advice and edging further into the padded room.

I moved around the chair and kept it between us. It provided me with at least a little protection.

Junic reached into her pocket and removed a small device that fit in the palm of her hand. A tiny stunted needle protruded from the end. I realized it must have been the device she used to knock me unconscious before.

“We’re doing this with or without your help,” Junic said. “But it would be better for you if we did this peacefully. We’re only going to check things are okay.”

Over her shoulder, the shifter figure from earlier moved into place. Her hair was long and black and reached down to her ass. She could pick up raisins with an ass like that.

Another reason to hate her.

Beside her was another figure. An ugly dude with a round head and a single eye. He looked like a meatball with ears.

“What do you want me to do?” I said, eying Junic carefully.

“Get in the chair,” she said. “Then I’ll scan you. No one needs to get hurt and this doesn’t need to get ugly.”

I took a moment to think the situation over. What other choice did I have? There were enough of them to field a small soccer team and I was cornered in this damn padded room.

I did as she asked and climbed into the chair. I didn’t really want to be hit by another dose of whatever it was she had in that injection gun.

Junic relaxed and slipped the device back in her pocket. She reached into her other pocket and took out the pregnancy machine.

She raised the device to scan me head to toe.

My eyes flicked up to the guards, who remained standing ready with their shock rifles.

A thought occurred to me. If my health was so important to them, I doubted they would use them on me. I’d seen the kind of damage they could do to their victims. What would they do to an unborn baby?

That left the shifter girl and meatball head.

The shifter looked in good shape. I didn’t think I could take her one-on-one but I could slip past her.

She wouldn’t hesitate to tackle me to the ground. The meatball looked big and cumbersome.
