Ray’s hand shakes as he moves the needle to Jean’s temple. Right now, he would give anything to have this hand holding her picture instead of a syringe full of the Zeta virus.

But he has no choice. To stop the pain, the emotional tearing in his brain, he must try this God-given, last option.

“Ray?” Eduardo says, never calling him Dr. or Sir. He seems to be at the other end of a long and dark hallway. “Ray? Are you crying?”

He is, but he cannot wipe the tears away.

“Ray,” he says again.

Now Eduardo holds a paper in his hand, where he got it, Ray does not know. He does not look at the small, Spanish man; he only looks at his dead wife.

And Ray cannot answer. It was only a matter of time before someone outed him, he knew. After all, Eduardo Rodriguez is a smart man. The paper will have the name and a picture of 001 — the real 001.

“What does this mean?” Eduardo asks. “Diane Carver/Female/DOB - 02/03/78” he recites from the sheet.

“Never mind that,” Ray says.

“TEST SUBJECT 001,” Eduardo says. He holds up the picture of a much younger woman with a full head of blonde hair. “This isn’t 001, is it, Ray?”

“Never mind that!” Ray shouts. He turns to Eduardo. “Are you ready?”

Eduardo’s face seems to have lost all color.

“Tighten the straps,” Ray says.

“I’m afraid we can’t do this, Ray.”

Ray turns to him, a fire in his eyes. “I have no choice.” He is calm now, because he knows the inevitable will happen. The two of them are sealed off from the outside world. The only others who know about this experiment are the gruff, distorted voices of Central. Upstairs, the white lab coat wearing scientists study their apes, their rats, and their guinea pigs.

“Who is it?” Eduardo asks.

Ray doesn’t answer.

Eduardo walks closer. He has the picture in his hand. He holds it up to Jean’s face. “This is not Diane Carver. So tell me!”

Ray’s left hand seems to act on its own, striking in much the same way a vicious snake strikes its prey. This hand has found the M9.

Eduardo stops dead in his tracks, his hands up, rubber suit squeaking with the movement.

“It’s Jean,” Ray says. His voice is surprisingly strong. “My wife.”

The fire in Eduardo’s eyes seems to blaze. “Is this what you want?” he screams. He is not looking at Ray; he is looking past him. In all four corners of the room are cameras. These shiny, black eyes where faceless strangers watch their every move. “He is going to kill us all!” Then, to himself, “Please…Ay, por favor, Dios. Por favor.”

“This is what I want,” Ray says. “This is what I have to do.”

With the gun pointed toward his lab tech, he sets the syringe down, then he unzips his suit, takes his helmet off.

“What are you doing? Are you insane?” Eduardo says. “This could be catastrophic. You saw those videos, you saw what this virus does. This could end the whole world.
