Chapter Fourteen

Quinn jolted awake in the testing room. She lay there for a few seconds, staring up at the ceiling in the dim light through the VR visor’s tinted glass.

She tried to lift her arms to remove the visor and headgear, but nothing moved. For a panicked instant, Quinn thought she might still be trapped under the control spell from before the training session began. If that was the case, she’d be unable to lie about what had happened in the scenario.

Right before the outer door opened, she started getting feeling back in her arms and legs, much to her relief. Quinn slowly lifted the visor as she sat up and swung her legs over the edge of the exam table.

Phillip strolled in with a big grin on his face. “I got a text from one of the other monitors. Their candidate said you made the kill. Good job, Quinn.”

“Thank you,” Quinn said, searching for the right thing to say in this situation. She closed her mouth instead.

Phillip gestured to her. “Come on out with me, and let’s check in with Velma on the system parameters to make sure everything went as planned. It shouldn’t take too long.”

Quinn placed the headgear on the rack and slid off the exam table to follow Phillip from the room. She tried to keep her expression neutral. She figured she’d still be under the control spell.

In the outer control room, Velma sat in her chair behind the bank of computers and screens, a puzzled frown plastered across her face.

Phillip glanced at her and laughed. “What’s wrong? Did you forget to save the program files or something?”

“It’s nothing like that. I just don’t see anything on Quinn’s vitals and system stats showing she got the kill, even though we got word she did.”

Phillip shook his head. “That’s impossible, I know what Barry sent in his text.” Phillip turned back to Quinn. “You said you got the target. Did one of the others kill your target, like before?”

Quinn shook her head. “No, nothing like that. I killed her. She ran, and I chased her for a long time until we ran through an industrial park. We were fighting right by the docks. I tackled her, and she wrestled with me. She was stronger than I thought she would be, so I kicked her off me. I got up and reached for my Bowie to finish her off, but before I could do anything, she lost her balance and fell off the pier into the water. She splashed some, but by the time I got to the edge, she was slipping under. She must’ve been injured or something and just drowned.”

Phil glanced at Velma.

She shrugged and looked back at her bank of screens. She tapped a few keys on the keyboard and stared at the results. “That makes sense. If she’d registered the kill, it would show up here. The target shows as dead according to my information. It’s just not giving her the kill.”

Phillip shook his head, scowling.
