"Serena Lancaster, I don't care if they call you the Demon, or if you think you're immune to everything. Just one breath of this, and your bones will melt into nothing!"
"Even if you were a god, you're dying in that pod today!"
He braced both hands against the console, his eyes manic as they stayed glued to the screen.
He was practically salivating at the thought of watching Serena violently choke on her own blood as the toxin hijacked her nervous system.
He couldn't wait to see her desperately clawing at the bulletproof glass, begging for a way out.
He wanted to watch her muscles lock up, paralyzing her completely as she collapsed to the floor in suffocating agony, completely helpless as the chemically-enraged Augments tore her flesh from her bones.
But a second later.
The psychotic grin on Mordecai's face slowly, agonizingly, froze once again.
On the security feed.
The suffocating green gas had completely enveloped Pod 10.
Yet the girl standing dead center in the toxic fog hadn't even bothered to cover her mouth and nose.
She didn't so much as flinch.
Instead, she slowly tilted her head up.
Her breathtakingly gorgeous, icy features were faintly visible through the churning emerald smoke.
Staring directly into the security lens.
It was as if she could see right through the camera, her gaze locking perfectly with Mordecai's.
Then.
Her red lips parted.
The wicked, bloodthirsty smirk on her face crept higher, dripping with absolute contempt.
Mordecai's brows slammed together.
He stared, utterly unblinking, at the slender silhouette standing casually in the center of the kill zone.
He couldn't comprehend it.
She was moments away from a gruesome death, yet she had the audacity to smile at him? To openly mock him?!
That synthetic gas was designed to be instantly fatal to normal humans. A single breath would violently short-circuit the nervous system, aggressively corrode the respiratory tract, and induce absolute paralysis.
