CHAPTER 4 :- Wyndex Laboratories

A futuristic-looking lab lit with a bunch of LEDs on the ceiling and filled with Scientists and Researchers busy doing their job. They are all in a state of surprise. Some of them are disappointed and while others few are satisfied with their research data.

"We failed this time but at least the data we received was very useful. With a little bit more, we can succeed!"

Suddenly from a room filled with clinical pods and hibernation pods opened and but outcomes the Lead Researcher of the lab 'WYNDEX Laboratories', drenched in some kind of bodily fluid.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ 1st person POV ]

"Damnit! What the Fuck was that explosion?! That son of a bitch got me this time!"

'I was really really close! DAMNIT!!'

"Now, Now. Calm down, Miss Amelia...." The old man (Dexter) slightly taller than me began to console me.

"I already told you, President. Don't call me that name, that's just an alias. Anyways, I hope you didn't forget to take care of Ms Winston??"

'Ugh... Why does he keep irritating me like this??'

"Yes, I did. I am not an total Idiot. I won't let her see her husband getting shot by our soldiers in such a brutal manner. She is such a valuable asset for us after all. If she had seen that, I doubt that she will be willing to help us in our research."

"Where is she now?" I was actually surprised realising that he was able to transfer that old hag into another unit.

"Oh, Don't worry. She is currently doing her research on that matter of domestic animals and their anomalies with the serum" '

That'll be a waste of time but whatever....'

"Good, If I told her to change the team personally she wouldn't have recognized me, to begin with. And it is such a pain to beat some sense into an overly 'ethical' hag."

"Hahaha. She is way too soft. Sometimes her attitude does get on my nerves but since she's such a dumbass she'll believe whatever stupid story we tell her."

"Just don't overdo it. Make it believable."

"I take that the transfer was successful? Anything wrong with the body?" President asked with great interest to me as he was looking at me in a disguisting way.

"Yes, this isn't the first rodeo exactly. Don't worry I'll make a new one for your old ass" , I blabbed something in order to keep his disguisting eyes off me.

"Hey, make it a young ass for me!" The old pig began to laugh as usual caressing my ass.

'Calm down , Amelia. Calm down! If you cut his hands off, you'll get fired and you won't be able to...'

I rolled over my eyes in order to calm myself down, at the same time I made those stairing eyes turn away from my direction.

'I didn't mean it as a joke but the old man didn't realize it. Ugh...Why do I have to work under this pig!? But I have no choice, or else he'll spill the beans'

"By the way, Where are Xavier and Wylma?" I tried my damn best to keep his hands away from my ass.

"They were pretty disappointed with the mission, Amelia," Old man Dexter warned me disappointment in eyes and he began to press my buttocks harder.

'Oh shit! I hate sucking up to this pig!! I should say something else before he.....

"I must give you punishment! Something you'll never forget. Something that I'll enjoy..."

"I'm sorry, Sir. I didn't foresee that explosion coming. I am sorry for my incompetence" I apologized loudly making sure he can't finish his sentence.

"I never thought, he would dare to pull out such a stunt," I continued interrupting him not letting him finish his words.

"Are you doing this on purpose, Amelia??" Dexter started to stare me intensely. But before I can respond I was interrupted by one of the researchers.

"Sir, Dale Winston is on a run now. What action should we take?"

Dexter replied "Just leave him to military, I'll let Wylma and Xavier operate WynBot this time to move him into one of our labs for Interrogation"

"But that's not necessary, we already have enough data and Dale Winston is no longer of use for us now." I objected.

"We just need to use another bait to catch that the 'Co-ordinator' " I added.

"No, We need Dale himself. It seems like he knew about our subject more than us and the subject itself had some kind of history with him. He can be of use for us." Dexter pointed out.

"No, I don't think we can squeeze any relevant data out from him." Amelia objected to Dexter's plan.

'I should keep him out of this, or something way worse will happen'

Dexter was ticked off and he shouted "I AM YOUR BOSS! YOU OBEY MY ORDERS!! GOT IT!?".

"I guess... But Let the [A. I] take control of the WynBots. Both Wylma and Xavier are not experienced and mentally fit to handle the stress enough to operate them in full capacity" I nonchalantly gave my opinion without realising the intensity of the heavy mood I just created.

'Poor Dexter trying his best not to lose his cool, Man...That's soo cute. Hahaha'

My action made him lose control. He suddenly started to choke me!?

"BITCH!! Are you trying to make me lose my control?! Not only your stupid [A. I] failed such a simple task and now you have the GALL to insult my children?!"

"....." I just realised the intensity of his anger and I admit that I didnt forsee that, I never thought that the old pig would be actually pick me up and threaten me like that. I tried to calm him down.

"I'm s... I'm sorry, Boss" I uttered those words repeatedly to Dexter while getting choked, swallowing my remaining pride.

"You better be bitch!! Just because you are a prodigy in your field, doesn't give you the right to insult my children nor question my decisions.

I'M YOUR BOSS, YOU BETTER REMEMBER THAT!!"

Dexter dropped me after warning me.

I fell to my knees and bent to the ground, trying my best to breathe. Gradually my paled face livened up again. I nearly got suffocated to death.

To calm him down, I apologised for my mistakes once more and walked back to my office dissing that pig more 'I'll get my revenge one day, Dexter!' I began to clench my teeth with rage. After reaching my office I sat in my chair.

'One day, Ill make you pay for everything! You'll pay with your life for blackmailing me!' I began to laugh thinking about that sweet sweet day. That's when I noticed that mask with X on my table.

'Oops, I almost forgot! I must tell him, If Dexter gets him then I'll be out of options'

Dale filled with grief came to accept the reality that his dear Serena is no more with him anymore. That time he heard a static voice from Serena's radio comm. When he replied to the voice, He realised it was Adrien's voice.

He decided to tell Adrien about Serena, So he decided to tell her about the incident. But then suddenly Dale was shocked by what Adrien said to him. "Run, Dale! RUN!! The Military has decided to brand you as a traitor!!! Wherever you are, Dale. Please RUN! Don't let them catch you!!"
