Jenna

I woke up as I was being dragged into a room. Two men had hold of my arms. They dumped me in the middle of the room and left.

Getting slowly to my feet, my head was still spinning from whatever they gave me. The room was empty. No furniture, no pictures on the wall, nothing. There was a window at one end, but I could tell from the other buildings that I was too high up to jump from it.

Where the hell am I? If it was Gene-Pharm I expected to be thrown into another cell, or were they working another angle?

The door opened and I braced myself for Breton, sure that it was him. Instead, a man in a suit entered, followed by a woman I never thought I’d see again.

I struggled to talk, stumbling over the words. “Mom, you’re alive?”

She smirked at me. “Clearly.”

I took in the white suit she wore, her hair perfectly quaffed. She wasn’t a prisoner. I thought she was dead all this time and here she was, dressed like some kind of supervillain.

“I don’t understand…” Was I still unconscious? That seemed like the most logical explanation.

“No, you don’t, do you? I wanted to tell you before but there didn’t seem like a right time.”

“You work for Chaos,” I said.

“No. I run it.”

“You…what?” I could understand her working for them, that she had some kind of reason, but she runs Chaos? How was that possible?

“For the last few months. My father ran it before me and he died recently, so I took over.”

I shook my head, barely comprehending what she was saying. “Your family business is a terrorist organization?”

“Our family business, Jenna. And we are not terrorists. Chaos is after the same thing you are. To bring Gene-Pharm down. Only we don’t pussyfoot around like your dad does. Seriously, what does he hope to achieve with his little band of refugees.” She said it with the same disregard as if she found him tinkering in the garage with his latest hobby instead of trying to bring down a major corporation.

A laugh bubbled up inside me. I couldn’t help it, of everything I was expecting, this was definitely not on the list. I doubled over, laughing like a maniac.

When I looked up at Mom, she was scowling at me. “That’s quite enough, Jenna,” she said.

“Are you kidding me!” I managed to control myself, barely. “After everything that’s happened and now you are a terrorist? This is all a prank, right? Someone is going to appear with a camera any minute.” I looked around the room hopefully. The man was watching me with a scowl on his face. He was about forty-five with dark hair and a goatee. Who was he?

Mom sighed. “I appreciate that this is a lot to deal with, but you need to get a grip.”

“I don’t think I can. I honestly think I’ve gone crazy. What was all that at the farmhouse?”

“Chaos. I was getting tired of waiting for your father to show up.
