Boundless

Conviction

[39 years ago]

Lance dragged a woman by her hair through corridors, while an alarm echoed in the above floors.

Gagged with a belt, 2 broken ribs, an eye swollen shut. Dr. Dahle moaned away, desperate. She was pleading, Lance knew.

But for that woman, the Girl had no sympathy. No compassion. No mercy.

The Doctor (head of the department and leader of the Hybridization program, sadistic in scientist disguise) was trying to appeal to the Blacks Ops Agent human side - a side Dahle had a hand in bleeding dry.

The Girl had no idea what she was going to find once she got to the Hunter's enclosure. But Dahle had all but begged for the Girl to come back - it was bound to be bad.

And oh boy, bad held no weight to describe the horror that took her once they passed the emergencial membrane that isolated the Hunter's unlit enclosure.

The smell of alien blood - his blood - was overwhelming.

Lance kicked Dahle's knee hard enough to make walking an excruciating endeavor and crossed the room. The computer with mainframe access was placed in a desk in the far corner of that room, and the Girl connected a small device there, opening yet another channel for Breacher. She turned the lights there on, squinting with the sudden assault of the lights on her eyes.

You motherfucker, you think I can't see tou trying to escape...

Lance marched back, straight to Dahle, who started to panic. She dragged the woman closer to the operating table that held the Yautja. The Girl threw the woman to the floor, kicked her face, and with a fluid movement draw the pistol and shot the scientist's knee.

"Huuunnngghnnn", came a loud, gagged moan of pain.

But Lance couldn't care less for the woman's pain. The Hunter reacted badly, fighting against his restraints, fucking up even more his injuried body. The Girl felt a pang of guilt.

Of course, he doesn't know it's me. And even if he knew...

Lance had Oiled her whole body to mask her scent ( she had hybrids to deal with later), and was dressed in full special agent armor and garments: which included a helmet and mask covering the lower half of her face, which she promptly removed.

"Shh, shhh..."

That brought the Hunter to a halt. Even so Lance didn't try to reach and touch him, as she would have.

(As she had done so many times)

Still pointing a gun to Dahle, she raised her other hand high, showing the palm. A clear sign of non aggressive intent.

"Hey, it's me", came the voice of the Girl.

Please, please... it's me.can you recognize me?

The Girl stepped closer to his head, after his eyes fixed on her face. He was still now, thankfully, because they didn't had much time. Her mind went straight into combat-medic-and-field-surgeon mode.

"Fuck me, what did they do... ", her voice sounded pained.

The Girl choked, looked back at the Doctor, who now tried to scramble away. Lance let her carry on, until it was a good 10 feet away from them. Raised her hun and shot the other leg. A third shot went straight to the left foot.

"If I hear you moving, I will amputate one of your legs with my fucking gun, you fucking monster".

Desperate moaning-and-crying ensued.
