Arka Pharmaceuticals Headquarters

Former General Clancy Flynn twirled a huge gold ring around his meaty finger, blew out a breath, tugged at his tie. It was a red silk Valentino tie that went nicely with the tailored suit, which was obviously bespoke. No designer made that size.

Dr. Charles Lee suppressed a light shudder.

Flynn became more disgusting every time they met. It was as if Flynn were on this hugely accelerated Bloat Program. He’d put on ten pounds every time they met. He was now at least three hundred pounds. The very weight of Flynn’s flesh had assumed a gravity of its own and it was dragging him down. Though Lee kept his office at a cool and constant 72 degrees, Flynn was sweating, his own flesh acting like a heat generator. His heart had to beat twice as hard to get blood around all that meat. His sweat stank—a rancid odor that was stronger than the men’s cologne he wore and the smell of expensive laundered material swathing his grossly huge body.

Flynn was a heart attack in waiting, except he had to wait to have it until Lee’s program was complete.

Flynn ran a very successful and lucrative security company founded on the contacts Flynn had made in his twenty-five years in the military. Flynn was very greedy. Lee’s program was the key to great wealth, but they’d had some stumbling blocks. Quite a few, actually. The last one cost over a million dollars. But Lee now had something even bigger than the former program, which had aimed at augmenting the aggressiveness, muscle mass, reflexes, and IQs of soldiers.

Flynn was financing the secret program in order to have the best private security company in the world. Lee had his own agenda: he was planning on turning the forty-million-man Red Army of ordinary soldiers into the equivalent of forty million Special Forces soldiers.

Lee was very close to that goal. He’d had annoying setbacks and on one memorable mission run by Flynn’s company, Orion Security, in Africa, the entire team had gone rogue. Well, Lee had adjusted the doses and several other missions had gone very well indeed.

Most of the progress had been made thanks to experiments conducted on the four elite soldiers over the course of a year. The former Ghost Ops soldiers that had been captured in the Cambridge lab conflagration.

Flynn had been particularly happy to know that the main test subject was Captain Lucius Ward. Apparently, Ward had shown Flynn up several times while they were both serving and Flynn had wanted payback.

Well, Lee was a scientist, not a butcher. However, Flynn’s enthusiastic support had made him push the boundaries. A little. Ward had had over forty surgeries and had been slated for destruction when he and three other soldiers from his elite unit had been rescued by forces unknown.

A party to the rescue of the men had been identified as a female research scientist who worked for one of his labs. The woman, Dr. Catherine Young, was brilliant. Cameras had caught her image.
