The answers to his own questions didn’t ally his fears. Soon he was debating whether he should run. The handcuff rested on his wrist, cold and heavy, reminding him that he had several hurdles to cross before he even dared.

He pulled against the cuff, testing. It caught against the base of his thumb. If he could dislocate it, the cuff could slide off, in theory. What else? He listed the problems mentally.

Armed soldiers up front.

A loaded LUV with more soldiers behind.

Whatever was in the armoured car.

The police leading this merry band to the airport.

He was royally fucked on the road to Ohio…

“Hey. What’s in Ohio?” asked Connor, breaking the silence.

“The research centre where we are taking you for treatment,” replied an agent without taking his eyes off the truck ahead of them.

“Aren’t you guys based in Atlanta?”

“Normally, but this is a joint operation with a private research team.”

“You’re using a private company to find a cure?”

“They have the most knowledge about your… affliction,” replied the man, shrugging his shoulders.

Fishy as fuck.

“How many others with my disease are there?”

“It’s not a disease. It’s a genetic abnormality caused…”

“Shut it,” warned the other agent.

The agent looked at his colleague then down at Connor. “I can’t tell you everything kid. This is all new to us. We were shanghaied into this mess along with several other federal branches with little warning. We’re in the dark as much as you, so quit the questions, will you?”

Connor’s mouth gaped open.

It’s not a disease. They’ve been lying this entire time.

The agent shook his head, as much of an apology as he would dare offer and returned to watching the ambulance weave through traffic.
