Moshin escorted Charlie to her car in emergency. She practically dragged Charlie out as she tried to put her jacket and shoes on. She takes on the back seat and drives away. She drove calmly, but her eyes were determined and full of anxiety. What she was so scared about made Charlie wonder what she is about to tell is against confidentiality in the foundation. They drive direct to the bridge, barely any traffic in the midnight with the highlight of Evergreen Foundations seen in the midst of the dark forest.
"So, what's the story?" Charlie asks.
"Well, you know the rumors. About the company creating experiments on people without government issues or signed consent to partake our outstanding experiment. I'm bringing you in to take down the company." Moshin adjusts her little framed glasses, her fingers shaking. "What I'm about to tell you might be... misunderstood. Believe me, when I heard Malik address this, we went to our facts than fiction."
"I will listen. And believe me, Ms. Moshin. There were things I never thought were real, until I came across it."
“I was there at the start,” she’d said. “Malik and I were friends before everything. We worked at the same company. He was such a brilliant man to find the key source in blood to conquer deathly diseases.” While it was a bit surprising, the information didn’t feel particularly important, but maybe she’d just said it to paint a picture, Charlie thought. Or maybe it all would make sense in the end. Charlie had to force herself to stay quiet and listen. “When he created Evergreen Foundations, he had this fascination on something unexplainable to human concept. At first, we laughed at him, saying on and on about fictional creatures and the time to live immortal,” she choked out the word. “...and he was right when he showed us an extrondinary discovery of a...”
"Vampire. Of course."
She nodded. "How do you know? You accept it easily?"
She looked at her and Charlie roughly looked away to the window. her mouth twisted almost instinctively and she struggled to force the words out. “... I was attacked- once. Survived it, a-and that's it.” she turned her head away, a deep sob dripped from her lip. But she holds it back.
"Ever since the extraordinary discovery, we sampled their blood, experimenting on their unique abilities, Malik wanted to try to use their blood for medical purposes. To cure diseases, have some time for families to live a little more longer." Her fingers clenched on the steering wheel, a shaken sigh escaped her. "But the blood is like a toxic pollen, paralyzing them and eventually killing them. He got angry at it and decided to continue on and-"
Charlie couldn’t help it. She cut in, “Hold the phone.”
She looked to her and Moshin roughly swiped the tear away, fast like it’d never existed.
“So after failed experiments, you just continue on. And the only way to bring in more subjects is to take people in the homeless shelters, drug addicts, anyone who has no recognition to society and use them. For your experiments."
“It wasn't at first,” Moshin said, eyes hardened and mouth twisting into a deep scowl.
“Isn’t that what it is?” Charlie asked and she shook her head violently.
“No! It changed. He changed. He went crazy. He needed the species blood, combined every of human genetics to create something else. And this is not what I wanted... I want to heal people-" her mouth twisted almost instinctively. She turned her head away, a deep sob dripped from her lips and struck Charlie hearing this story for the first time like a cold bucket of water. She sat on the seat tensed, scracthing the leather seat like she was imaging it was something else.
