The Case of the Mad Scientist novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Attacked by One Over-Sexed Female

Gato forced a gag into Midori’s mouth as she lay on the floor still handcuffed into a hogtie. Once he felt safe from her biting him, he picked her up and carried her into the main lab where he had already arranged the other subject for the demonstration. Once inside the isolation chamber, he dumped her on the floor and grinned at the other subject.

That other subject was me!

It was embarrassing to admit that this Japanese guy had gotten the drop on me, but truth was all three of us were caught off guard. My head hurt like one wicked hangover but without having spent a fun night before. When I awoke, these guys were manhandling me into this funny room. Before I could really get my wits about me, they had stood me up to this pole and handcuffed my wrists behind it. I growled at them and promised that as soon as I got free they were going to be in a world of hurt. They just ignored me. Probably didn’t speak English.

After a while, this other fellow, who I heard them call “Gato”, came in carrying this naked woman, the same one we saw in one of the cells next door. He dumps her on the floor and gives me this stupid grin. Then he kneels down and ties her neck to the other pole. The funny thing is that he is tying her loosely. When she is tethered to the pole by that loose neck rope, he leaves the room. About ten minutes later I hear noises and look up to see two men looking at me through the window. One is an older Japanese man; the other I recognize as Dr. Sorren. The doctor is explaining something to the older man. I can just hear what they’re saying because the door is open.

“I chose a woman’s sexual attributes and responses first because those are easier to alter the DNA for. My virus enters the body and goes directly to the places where the DNA is to be modified. It reproduces rapidly and begins making the changes programmed into it. It is also designed to avoid the body’s normal response to an invading virus. Once the virus begins reproducing, the changes come about rapidly.

“That woman you see in the chamber was a perfectly normal woman with, we assume, a perfectly healthy, normal sex drive. But after the injection of my virus in concentrated dose, she began to change. If you will compare her now to these photos, you will see that her breast size has increased and her overall appearance has become more sensual. Her waist is smaller, her legs more shapely, and she is even prettier than before. The changes are not massive but nevertheless present. But what is more dramatic is the change to her emotions. I had programmed the DNA changes to make women more alluring and sexually attractive, but also to have an increased sex drive. As you can see, there have been physical changes. But the most surprising was the degree to which her sexual nature had changed. To put it mildly, she became a raging tigress, demanding but never satisfied with sex.”

He turned to someone behind him and said, “You two will see this for yourselves very soon.” There was a smug smile on his face that I promised I would take delight in wiping off.

“Gato will now free the woman. Watch her reactions.”

That Gato fellow came back in and removed the gag from her mouth before unlocking the handcuffs of the naked woman at my feet. Then he backed out quickly, almost as if he feared her, and shut the door solidly behind him. I looked down and saw that she had untied the loose rope and was slowly getting to her feet. She looked around the room, stopping to stare through the window. She seemed especially to be looking at Gato. Then she turned to me.
