Valiant(92)
“You are going to take us there but first you are going to tell us where this testing facility in Colorado is located.” Justice demanded. “And you are going to do it now.”
Valiant roared again. The man on the floor nodded frantically, his terrified gaze locked on Valiant.
“I will. Anything you want. Just stay away from me.” He rattled off an address.
Justice shot Tiger a look. Tiger nodded, grabbed his back pocket and flipped out his cell phone. He gave the address to the person he spoke to. He paused.
“How many New Species are being kept there? What is the security like?”
The man closed his mouth. “They’ll kill me.”
Justice growled and clapped his hands once. The men from upstairs came down and surrounded the cowering human. Pete stared at the eight New Species closing in on him. The smell of his fear became so strong Valiant could almost taste it.
“You talk or we start at your toes and fingers. It is amazing how many bones can be broken before shock starts to kill a man.” Justice growled, inching closer. “Answer my questions.”
“Don’t do it,” Pete rasped. “Fuck. Just stay back. There should be eighty-two males and six females there unless some of them were moved over the last week when I left there. Security is tight.” He paused.
“Keep talking,” Valiant growled at him. “Where would they be moved to? Where are the other testing facilities?”
“It’s not like that,” the guy hissed. “When the first testing facilities were breached, people panicked. We found an abandoned building and it took us some months to prepare the new location to hold them. Everyone was scared shitless that our testing facility would be discovered, we wanted to get out of there as fast as possible, but it takes time to build sturdy enough holding cells to keep your kind locked up. We moved them to the address I gave you and sometimes we lend some of them out to a few of the other doctors who weren’t arrested. I don’t have nothing to do with that and I don’t know anything except sometimes a handful of them disappear but are later returned. You’re going to have to talk to the doctor about where they go and who has them. He’s in charge. Nothing gets done without his approval. His name is Adam Zenlelt.”
“How many guards are there? Where are our people?”
“They are being kept underground on the second level. It used to be a parking lot two floors down but they enclosed it to house those bastards. They usually have about twelve guards topside and maybe six downstairs. I don’t know all the doctors and support staff but I’d guess maybe twenty in all onsite during a work shift.”
“Is it rigged with explosives?” Tiger growled.
Pete shrugged. “Hell if I know. I’m not security. I’m just the doctor’s assistant. Me and Mike are the muscle. That’s all. We take care of 927 and whatever test subjects the doctor personally is working with.”
“What about Tammy?” Valiant moved closer, glaring. “Tell me everything.”
The man swallowed. “We threw her into the cell with 927. He killed the last two women we put in with him. He just fucking killed them. He’s crazy. He won’t kill your bitches but he kills regular ones like me.” He slammed his mouth shut. “That came out wrong. You know what I mean. He broke through the partition we have in place to keep him back when we open the cell door. He sniffed her a lot and she was yakking up a storm to him trying to get him not to kill her. He just took her to his bed and lay down with her. When I left he was feeding her, and hell, he tore up the meat for her. It was freaky. If he will use his teeth to make bite-sized chucks she can eat, sleep with her, then you would assume he would fuck her. We think he’s gay.”
“He slept on her?” Valiant growled.
The man winced. “Well, it is kind of cold at night and we don’t give him blankets.”
“Calm,” Justice ordered Valiant. “He did not breed her.” His gaze fixed on Pete. “Right?”
The man shook his head. “I told you. We think he’s gay.”
“What does that mean?” Tiger frowned.
The man on the floor hesitated. “We think he likes men. She isn’t a man. He won’t do her.”
Tiger laughed. “You think because he won’t breed her that he is physically attracted to men?” He shook his head. “Did you ever think he might not be into forcing women?” His smile died and he growled. “That is your sickness to want to rape them, not ours.”
“Well, I never grabbed a woman and snapped her neck but he did it,” Pete ground out. “Two of them and trust me, they were smoking hot. I would have done them in a heartbeat if someone had tossed them at me. He didn’t even talk before he killed them.” Pete snapped his fingers. “Just like that.”
