Chapter 23: What’s Inside the Cell

The aroma of a clean lab on floor 18 brought a smile on Simon’s face. Floors fifteen to twenty were set up for lab work to monitor the patrons’ needs and to study the Azrael. Only floor eighteen was designed for the study of Azrael material and non-live subjects.

A class Alpha access badge was required to gain access to the lab. They were stored in a lockbox at the floor’s entrance atrium. Five armed guards were assigned duties to verify credentials and issue badges that were stored in a safe. These extra safety precautions were set in motion when Dr. Schwinn lost his financial support from BioLab Industries for fear of sabotage.

Dr. Barnett did not have access to the facility but still managed to enter and run tests on specimens that she smuggled inside herself. She is a rule breaker and a loose cannon scientist on her own program. Simon didn’t like or trust her. However, any breakthroughs in the Azrael virus could be a move in the right direction for once. He waived this offense this time but had to send the security staff responsible home for the rest of the day as punishment. They were swayed to disobey the rules of the facility and allowed someone to access a top secret location without the proper credentials. Also, they were removed from guard duty on the eighteenth floor indefinitely and a mark was placed in their file. She has no regard for other people’s lives.

Once the guards were relieved from their posts he entered the lab and found Jane talking to a group of lab workers. She pointed at the specimen and continued to talk with extreme enthusiasm. The workers seemed thrilled as well. Once Simon came into the sealed compartment via the airlock doors, he heard her voice.

“…and the virus latches on the cell, breaking down its immunities while developing its own. Oh, look who it is.” Jane finished and greeted Simon.

“Good morning everyone.” He spoke. They greeted him back.

“Do you want to see it?” Jane asked.

“Why else would I be here?” He responded with annoyance.

“Okay, you’re going to love this.” Jane beamed and beckoned Simon over to the monitor that displayed the specimen on the slide in great detail. “Do you see that cell?” She directed at a normal white blood cell taken from Giselle’s blood.

“I see it. So?”

“There is the Azrael white blood cell.” Jane gestured to another cell.

“We know they have separate blood cells. It’s the nature of the virus to cohabitate with the host’s blood cells.”

“True, but if you separate the normal white cells from the Azrael white cells…” Jane had a finely tuned machine with a small needle like separator isolate the blood cells on opposite sides of the slide. “…and introduce normal human blood…” She dropped a small droplet of blood in the middle of the slide. “…you will see two separate reactions.”

Simon moved closer to the monitor. The Azrael white blood cells ferociously attacked the cells and completely took over all of the white blood cells leaving nothing behind but Azrael cells.
