Chapter 18

L ying, meddling bitch.

She knew more about her father’s experiments than she was letting on.

The last lab rat was near the end of its life. Its red blood count was well beyond acceptable limits, literally choking all the blood vessels and organs with the imbalance. Destroying the necessary white blood cells and platelets that kept a body running. Soon

the hemorrhaging would begin, followed by a slow and likely painful death.

Nothing had stopped the relentless onslaught of the red blood cells, which had been altered by the Danvers cell strain. Yet Danvers himself had been able to control the multiplication of the cells. Well, at least early on.

One set of rats had almost supernatural healing powers and strength beyond that of their uninoculated counterparts. And they’d lived long beyond the span of regular rats and of the rats stolen from Danvers’s lab. Rats that Danvers had likely been using as control samples.

A step was missing—the process Danvers had used to maintain the superrat specimens. Whatever it was had not been revealed in the journal stolen from Danvers’s lab nor in the incredibly boring memoir taken from Melissa’s office.

Judging from her unconvincing act this afternoon, Melissa was well aware that she had important information about her father’s experiments and the source of the cell strain.

There would be no more waiting now. No time to dawdle. Otherwise, the illness would be too far along to allow for a possible cure. The Danvers cell strain could only do so much and maybe there had been too much delay already.

Action had to be taken immediately.
