Reality || Ch. 20

Instructions

Read the others first please, I WANT NO SPOILERS I could barely see the Jeep Felix and Emily were on as the drove away. “I knew I shouldn’t have trusted him, how could I be so blind!” I yelled in anger, forgetting about the group of people next to me. I announced over the radio, “I need everybody, I repeat, EVERYBODY to go after Felix and Emily!” A blonde man in a suit, who I'm pretty sure is named Ryan went over to the collar on the ground and picked it up. “It looks like you’re right about one thing, you are blind.” He said, presenting it to the rest of the group, they all shook their heads in disgust. He took my radio, “Cancel the last request made by Dr. Stern.” I started to say, “The collar was only a precautio-“ But he interrupted with, “Do not try to justify this Stern! Felix is an intelligent being, why treat him like this?” “Because he is untrustworthy, a danger to this institute.” “Perhaps you are the danger Stern. It is inhumane to treat a person like that.” “Felix isn’t a person, he’s not even human.” “Well now you’ve confirmed things. Stern-” He fixed his posture, “-you’re fired.” "Fired? I’m the one who started the foundations of this project, I’ve worked for over 20 years!” “Then it’s just about time to stop, isn’t it.” He said, turning to leave. “Just like that, huh?” He looked at me seriously. “Gather your things Stern, you’re finished.” He said before leaving, the group followed, one by one. “You’re just going to let them go?” I called after. “They need to have good lives Stern, we’ll start back on the other project.” He said from the hall. ‘The other project’ I thought to myself, and I realized what I should do. I quickly went down a different hallway, towards the lab. I used my keycard for the door, grabbed an empty bag from inside, and started gathering the different vials. One of the other scientists with brown curly hair came in, “Dr. Stern? What are you doing?” He asked, confused. “I’m getting the next test ready.” I lied. “Oh, do you think it’ll work this time, it’s our last batch of Deoxium.” “I know it will.” I assured, heading to my office. I got a few suitcases, and packed the rest of my things, heading out to my car, then I drove away before they notice the materials are gone. As soon as I got home, I took everything out, and put it on the dining room table, finally being alone enough to finish the experiment. I poured and mixed the different vials into one red liquid. Just some Deoxium, certain DNA, and other elements to smooth it out, the formula was ready. Foxes are too weak of an animal, so I chose a different one, bigger, stronger, and more resilient. We only chose the fox because of Dr. Miller, but he was oblivious to the power of this one. There was only one dose of Deoxium left, but it doesn’t matter, I don’t need any more. This is how I’ll show them my genius, this is how I’ll be able to compete with Felix and Emily, this, is my masterpiece. I put the formula in a syringe, and took a deep breath before I injected. I won’t see the effects until tomorrow, but when morning comes, I’ll be ready for my revenge on the them, they took everything from me. I’ll do the same to them both, and I'll make sure they never forget it.
