Everyone was silent on the plane, staring at one another. They were stuck in a revise moment, trying to understand the plan that was about to be executed once we touch down onto ground. It was hard to clear my head from the possible mishaps that could happen, and the disastrous moments that could unfold and they were bound to happen. A top secured facility such as Jason Hayes' was not going to be an easy play and that was proven. This facility was proven to have experimental test runs on artificial human life and such. Whatever toughest security they can provide, will be on the highest alert level possible without being on lockdown completely. It was just the thought of stepping back into that facility again after those years being confined there as an experimental test subject and prisoner because of my father's background as a highly well-respected scientist with world ground-breaking discovery that could've been a cure for cancer.

I just kept thinking about an exit plan if things go wrong. My head couldn't stop producing ideas and scenarios. Chris, sat out from me, cleaning his gun while Nadia and DC kept a look on things below. Leon sat beside me, his mind completely focused on the plan and me. He was still mad at me and I could tell, but it was better this way. I couldn't even think about what would happen if any of them got killed or tortured because of me. I slowly inched my hand to Leon's, lacing my fingers between his. He still didn't look at me. He just held on tightly onto my hand. There was friction rising between that moment; a sense of doubt and regret with fear and anger. A feeling crept in where I just wanted to cry and hug up to him from everything that's happened, but I couldn't let that wave of emotions get in the way right now. Our main priority is getting Piers and Rebecca out alive. I exhaled and ran the plans through my head once more: Get inside, disable the security cameras and put them on loop, disable the motion sensors, follow the guards using the elevator shafts, grab the keys, the IDs and keycard, plant C4 on the elevators and stairwells, head to Jason's office to get the security codes for the virus, plant C4 in his office, head to the lab, find Piers and Rebecca, destroy the containers containing the virus, get Piers and Rebecca out then detonate the C4. Boy is that something to recite over and over and over?

"Going over your plan?" Chris asked. I just nodded, bringing my focus back upfront. "Here take this. It's a dose of Rebecca's vaccine. It will keep you from getting infected if Jason happens to release it in gas form." Chris handed me a small injection gun the size of a tattoo gun with the dose in it. I rolled up my sleeve and injected it. The sheer pressure and pain from the needle forced my mind back into an excruciating painful moment with the experiments. "You good?" I just nodded silently again. "All right. We've got 45 minutes. Nadia, what's the status?"

"Uh...boss...We've got a problem. A major problem. Jason just released the gas on the city and it is spreading rapidly." Leon, Chris and I get up and walked over to Nadia's laptop.

"He's not trying to turn a couple thousand. He's trying to turn them all." Leon said. Jason had trucks dispensing the gas throughout the city and had guards putting the gas in the ventilation systems in the schools. He was making sure he was going to turn everyone. A wave of nausea came over my stomach just the thought of innocent children, not even old enough to understand what is going on and what will happen rips me up inside. My anger and hatred was slowly starting to boil to the surface.
