140 Changing Roles
Sabrina visited the laboratory of EPUA, she observe fast and now she understands what was needed. This should be the clone. Since Eros knows clearly around here though it has been years. EPUA needs a secret laboratory and that would be separated from the laboratory that her husband has been building for her.
"I need to speak with you alone." Sabrina mutter to Samantha and the people in the laboratory are quite surprise when she speaks in a very powerful voice. Samantha nodded and follow her alone.
They watch Sabrina and Samantha leave the laboratory. Sabrina took her to her office and she sign her to sit.
"What about Veronica's condition?" Sabrina asked.
"She's fast recovering. It was half effect of the drug and Tony said she got caught up in the rain—two times that night."
"Hmm." Sabrina pull out few papers."The drug that you've been studying?"
"All of it was collected by Brandy. It was positive that it came from our laboratory. They are making it toxic than before and its bad for human system. The drug that Veronica took was an example. It was a **** drug—drug that could stimulate the person's sexual desire. As per your instructions, we had taken a blood sample of Mr. Rivera... he got positive on different drugs...But I am still curious on how he had a good stamina..."
"We have to get a sample on this drugs that they are taking. They aren't giving Veronica yet since she's new..." Sabrina mutter."Brandy could sneak some from one of the employee, however there are cameras in the office. So our best choice is snatching some..." she just wanted to bounce ideas and murmur to herself. Samantha just listen."Well!" Samantha sat up straight."I am going to give you a very important mission." She gave her the contract."Contract of confidentiality and only the two of us knows about it here inside the EPUA."
"Sabrina, are you certain?"
"Who else could I trust?" She sat down on her chair."In three months from now, I'll give you a tour on this facility."
"Three months?" Samantha asked.
"Yes. My husband is building this facility for me... for this matter. No one knows not even my grandfather."
"I understand."
"You have multiple degrees and I like your work ethics and also your EQ. Sam, this isn't just revenge that I am preparing for—we had coordinate with the government and—we are saving lives here. Those people in the footage... have sacrifice their lives for little money... this man has to stop." She utter.
Samantha now understand that Sabrina was talkative in some way. They all know that she's introvert and wanted to be alone but she's comfortable with people whom she trust. Samantha feel so lucky that Sabrina trust her.
Samantha went back to her office and lock the door. She read the details. She exhales and get a little tense. Now, she has a big project to work at than anything else. Sabrina trust her so much and she will never want to betray her. They were betrayed once by a comrade. She still have the scar on her stomach. The one who ruin her life and future.
Sabrina was sitting on her throne as she watch the footages over and over again. Then she stop and saw someone sitting on the chair with microscope on his hand. This was taken when Catriona took the important files from Dr. Porter's vault. He was relaxed with laboratory googles. She notice the crane beside. The smirk of the man as he watch Catriona walk in disguise of Dr. Lane.
He noticed! She chuckle and then send a message to Death. Now, their mission was a trap. It's her spy's lives that is at risk. She sat up and couldn't wait anymore. She contact Death as soon as possible in the voice of a man.
"Death. This is your Dark Lord. I want you to tell them at once to retreat."
"D-Dark Lord? Boss!"
"Death, retreat at once."
"Copy that boss!" She hang up and type on her computer furiously.
She exhales and wait for her access to connect to her agents. But just as she connected to them and saw the footage there was a sudden explosion and she got disconnected.
"No!" She screams and her hands suddenly start shaking. Her agents can't die. She tries to connect with Death."Death, did you copy?" She couldn't hear anything at all. She connect to him once again.
It's been four days since they last saw each other. Catriona wanted to end it once and for all. She exhales and laugh at her own stupidity. Good thing that she planned this well. But Catriona and Tequila? How can she sleep tonight?
???
Veronica was now stretching since her fever just stayed for two days. She haven't been exercising for long maybe that's why her fever stayed for two days. Yesterday, Samantha draw a little of her blood and she confirmed that there's no drug in her system. That's fast.
"I am on my emergency leave yet, you are always distant from me." Tony said with a spatula in his hand and a pan on the other while wearing a pink apron.
She smile on the sight and stretch her legs more.
"Good job, sweetheart. Could you please make me some smoothie?" She asked like she was the husband or. They did switch roles. Tony sigh.
"Alright, then I could wear a nightie later so I could seduce you." He said sardonically. She laughs.
"Okay, sure."
After sweating it off, she went to fetch her phone where he last left it after her boss call four days ago. It has a low battery and there are multiple call from Catriona. She calls her and it was ringing. Then her phone dies.
"Shit." She mutter and search around for charger."Sweetheart, where's your charger?" She call still acting like she was the husband.
"It's on the cabinet on the left, first drawer."
She took the charger and plug her phone on the nearest plug. Se pick a towel and wipe her sweats. Soon, she turn on her phone and wait for five minutes until it was okay for her to call. Then she unplug it and call Catriona's number. It was ringing and then it got out of line. She try to reach Tequila and it was the same. Their phone never get disconnected like this.
She then check the messages from Catriona.
"V, today. I'll end this laboratory with them. We got plans."
"V, whatever happens. Survive there without me." It sounds like she's saying goodbye.
Veronica's heart was pumping and she try to call them again and again.
"No." She then call Sabrina."Brina, what happened to my sister?"
"The laboratory explodes." Sabrina said. Just those words make Veronica's legs wobble.
