Like a gentle breeze, the leaves rustled as the three men in black slowly crouched through the woods behind the Strickland residence. Burndock held up a closed fist and the other two halted and unpacked their gear, going for the goggles first. Burndock was impressed by how quickly the surveillance subject picked up his normal routine again. As he had before the incident at Pollard Construction, William Strickland spent the first several hours of the day on the internet and then followed up with physical training. Lots of physical training. Burndock had to wonder if this was Strickland’s nature, or somehow was now coded into his genetic structure. Rewriting someone’s base DNA was a huge step forward, and it seemed like a waste to do it without sneaking in some secret genetic motivation to work hard and train harder. Jesus this shit was scary.

Unlike the first time around, it took William Strickland an extra couple of hours to locate the hidden wall panel in his office, but he did manage to locate it, and he dug through the paperwork concealed within, still desperate to find any clues he could about his life and his family. This time around, the building permits and contracting documents were easily located in the filing cabinet, and as he read them, the details were more or less forgotten. Rifling through paystubs and other paperwork made for a boring few hours, and shed very little light on the real details of his past life. He paused for a moment looking at one of the stubs.

What did he do for a living?

He actually had no earthly idea, but the fact that he had a secret room full of weapons, bulletproof vests, scopes, silencers, magazines, all complimented by fake papers told him all he really needed to know about his lifestyle. For whatever reason, this revelation didn’t give him pause; it just allowed some missing pieces to fall into place. His gaze lingered on the weapons hanging from the wall.

Was he a killer? The armory in his hidden room would certainly indicate that he led a life of violence. However, being a soldier was different from being a killer… and at this point, he wasn’t sure upon which side of that line he stood. It was coming up close on twelve o’clock, so Strickland pushed himself back away from his laptop and leaned back, lacing his fingers behind his head. His brain growled and churned, digging as far back as it possibly could, looking for some hints of his past life. The lights seemed to go out and he felt himself falling backwards, somersaulting, spiraling, and tumbling through thick red cotton clouds, swirling and swarming around him. The fall was endless, with no ground in sight, even as he breached the clouds and hurtled into blank black sky.

He swept through open air, yet still felt branches and twigs scraping at his face, clawing at his neck, and trying to rip his shirt… he ran on all fours, his heart thrashing in his ears, his breath coming in sharp, stabbing gasps.
