“Just that where she releases it, she’ll need access to power.”

“When? What is the timeline?”

“Rhea is planning the attack for the thirty-first of October. She likes the symbolism of it.”

“Because of the undead?”

“No, because it’s the day the Divine Watchers were formed.”

Smithy needed more information if they were going to stop this before it was too late

“What about an oil rig?”

“Yes, if she can get the drug air born and activate the soldiers, then her plan would work.”

Smithy stood and moved quickly to the door.

“What happens to me now?”

“Now you go to prison for a long time.” Smithy no longer felt any sympathy for the man. Yes, he’d been duped, but he’d also been blind to the evil he was unleashing at best, and at worst, caught up in the power his experiments gave him.

He turned as a flash of memory hit him of this man poking at Liz when she was injured to see if he could get a pain response, and the joy it gave him to see someone in pain and know he was the only person who could stop it. “I remember you now.”

Smithy smiled as he casually walked back to the man who looked up happily, thinking he was about to get out of there. Quicker than lightning, he struck, punching the man until he ended up on his back, screaming as blood poured down his pathetic face. Smithy knelt over him as he tried to stave off another attack. “Doesn’t feel so good to be at someone else’s mercy, does it?”

He stood then and walked away, knowing Liz would probably forgive him for his violent outburst this time. He wasn’t worth his time, not now anyway. They needed to figure out which oil rig Rhea was going to use before it was too late.

Zin stepped out into the hallway, and they exchanged a look. “I called Daniel and Zack. The team is going to be here shortly. Dane thinks he has a lock on the location of the rig she’s going to use.”
