“What is it?” I ask again, unable to contain my curiosity and need to know.
“It’s a series of test results,” Seytan says, her voice barely above a whisper. “On Kayla.”
“What?” I say, feeling a sense of horror wash over me. “What kind of tests?”
Seytan scans the information again, turning pale.
Just then someone races into the medical wing, knocking into something and causing a ruckus.
Before we can move out of the office to investigate, Valentine appears in the doorway, out of breath.
“Valentine? We thought you’d left the island. You weren’t at roll call.”
“I was on a video call. Clancy just filled me in. Where’s the asset?”
“That’s what we’re trying to discern,” Seytan tells him.
“Well, what does the chip say?” he snaps.
“We can’t get a read on it. Something seems to be jamming the signal.”
He grimaces. “So this is a professional hit then. They knew what they were doing?”
“Apparently so.”
“The helicopter’s gone. We thought—”
“That I’d stolen her away in the middle of the night? Please. I’m just as invested in this program as you are. More so. Find her. She’s a valuable asset, and we can’t risk her falling into the wrong hands. Have you checked on your little pet project?”
Seytan blanches and shakes her head, before pulling a phone from her pocket and tapping away at it. Somehow she’s even paler when she looks back up.
“Valentine?” Her voice is shaky and her hands are trembling.
“What, Paula?”
“Be careful bringing her in. She’s not just a valuable asset.”
“I’m aware that she’s our daughter. But I’ll treat her the same as the others.”
“What?” I blurt out, unable to keep quiet any longer. Kayla istheirdaughter? Theirs? As in,ValentineandSeytan? What the fuck is going on?
“Not that.” Seytan holds out the test results to him. When he doesn’t take the sheet of paper, she continues speaking. “I think she’s pregnant. So she’s actually priceless.”
“Then why the hell did you let her go?” He snarls, swiping the doctor’s desk clear in the process.
“I didn’t.” Seytan insists. She’s still clearly shocked, but there’s steel in her voice too. She doesn’t like being spoken to that way. “She wastaken. There’s a difference.”
“Yeah, by the looks of it, by the fucking doctoryousaid we could trust and that insane vermin boy who wassupposedto be terminated! Where the fuck is our daughter, Paula?”
“Probably at the mercy of our vermin son.”
