Breakthrough

The following day things had seemed to be back to normal with Professor Wyndham; nothing more was said about the breakthrough with Leon. Zyra sat on pins and needles just waiting for Professor to make mention of his breakthrough but his lips remained sealed regarding the subject.

Sometimes it was hard for her to reconcile the fact that Professor Wyndham had a Jekyll and Hyde personality. This man who seemed so sincere and passionate about his work was also a cold blooded killer, he killed many humans in his quest for the ultimate killing machine. 

"Looking for something?" asked Professor Wyndham.

Zyra stood frozen in the center of the storm that was brewing between them. What was this panicky feeling she thought frantically, now was the time that she needed to stay focused and calm if she was going to downplay this scenario properly.
