Ian shifted his gaze away, finally letting it rest on the grand hall at the very center. The hall had only a few cracks through which one could glimpse the activity below, where rows of researchers were busy crunching numbers and processing data.
"Have we got the creature's vitals yet?"
"How's Specimen 1 today? Was the breeding attempt successful?"
"Specimen 3 is dead. Have someone clean up the carcass."
To these researchers, the beings behind the glass were mere subjects, devoid of humanity.
"Specimen 5's skin is completely necrotic - the virus is a triumph. It's ready for field deployment."
"Ah, I can't take this anymore! Just let me die; please let me die. I can't be part of these experiments any longer. God, I'm a sinner; I'm bound for the deepest pit of hell!"
The hall fell silent in an instant following this frenzied outburst, tension hanging heavy in the air. Then the largest door swung open, and a man in uniform stepped through. He was young, around twenty-eight, with leather boots that spoke of a certain aloofness.
The atmosphere in the hall turned leaden as the man let out a derisive chuckle and approached the screaming researcher.
The researcher was shaking uncontrollably, and the man grabbed his hair, his tone icy.
"I've said it before - no disturbing the peace."
The researcher, terror-stricken, prostrated himself on the ground, clearly out of his mind.
"I'm sorry; it’s my fault."
The man simply pressed his boot against the man's face.
"Isn’t Specimen 3 dead? Toss him in there."
The man wanted to turn the researcher into a test subject.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
