CREEP

- REX -

“Are you okay, Rex?” General Wong asked, sounding worried. “You look sick.”

I held the phone up, not that I could see the man on the video screen since my eyes were squeezed shut. “Yes,” I replied through gritted teeth, resisting the urge to cover my face with my hand as the stench of rotting flesh filled my Hummer. “I’m fine, Marshall, thanks. Can I help you with something?”

“I received a report of another attempt to breach the Brotherhood’s security system. I find this particularly disconcerting considering what’s inside Angela’s Lab.”

I started to suck in a deep breath then remembered exactly what was inside my car and scowled instead. “No one short of the Saint himself could crack that system without days of direct access to the system. But we are taking precautions. Everyone is on high alert, and if someone was able to break into any of the Three Ladies, well…” I paused, lips quirking in amusement at the idea. "They definitely wouldn’t get what they’d come for if they made it inside."

If there was one thing training had taught me, it was precautions, precautions, precautions. You could never be too careful.

“You certainly have nothing to worry about. We’re going to find the man behind the intrusions and take him down—and all his people with him.”

Wong nodded. “I appreciate the reassurances; however, I must remind you how seriously we take security here at the Pentagon. If these intrusions are not brought under control in the near future, we may not be renewing our contract with King Corp.”

“I understand,” I said, grimacing as I heard the door open. “General Wong,” I said loudly, making Jones freeze. “I am very sorry, but I actually am feeling ill, and I need to be going. Thank you very much for contacting me. I will write up a report letting you know how we are protecting the assets. Have a nice evening.”

I ended the call and groaned, rubbing my forehead as I glared at Jones.

“Are you finished yet? I have a date in an hour, you know!”

“You see how fast you can dig a six foot hole before you complain,” he replied calmly, flashing me a smile. The son of a bitch was covered from head to toe with dirt, but I swear he wasn’t sweating a drop as he popped open the back of the Hummer, pulled out the rotting body wrapped in plastic, and tossed it over his shoulder like it weighed nothing. Seriously, the man was not human.

“Get the genitals,” Jones commanded, and I let out a laugh at the absolute absurdity of the comment. There are some moments in life you simply wish you could get on camera. This was one of them.

“Yeah right,” I said dryly, rolling my eyes. “I agreed to let you use my Hummer since your SUV’s in the shop. There is no way I am carrying the genitals.”

“They’re in a bucket,” the man said with a shrug, and I shook my head, squeezing my eyes shut.
