Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 491

The chaos outside the lab subsided as suddenly as it had erupted…

Leaning against the door, my heart sank with the silence.

They probably couldn't make it out.

Closing my eyes, I slumped against the wall in despair.

So this is what it feels like… despair, anger, frustration, losing control. All these emotions mixed together in a strange cocktail.

"Subject 71 shows no vital signs, Subject 69 executed a suicide attack and has been captured for immediate termination. Alert! Alert! Subjects 63 and 003 have escaped. Alert! Alert!"

Suddenly, alarms blared outside.

I snapped my eyes open, standing up in a rush of excitement.

The leader of the subjects and the newborn made it out?

"Alert, Rebellion Syndicate operatives have breached the facility to extract Subject 63. Alert! Alert!"

I clasped my hands together, peering outside with a surge of hope.

They were saved...

For some reason, I was breathless, my eyes moist with tears.

They made it out!

It was like a ray of light piercing through the darkness…

They made it out!

Two subjects had sacrificed themselves to hold off the mercenaries, allowing Subject 63 to escape with the infant.

I turned to the remaining subjects in the lab.

They all stood at the door, as if seeing a glimmer of hope.
