A Storm Brews Without Warning (Part 5)

     "They lied. They lied. How could they lie to me?" The words kept repeating in John's head like a broken tape recorder. They said it was safe. That nothing would happen and he would be able to go back home back to his family. But now... It didn't seem that he would ever see daylight again.

    The door opened and out stepped a balding man in his 50s wearing a spotless lab coat followed by two burly men twice the size of John. "Did you sleep last night John? You don't look to well you know" said the man in the lab coat. "We want you to be in your best condition when we conduct our experiment tomorrow."

   All John could do was stare at Prof. Bob with murder in his eyes. The last time he tried to kill him he had lost two teeth and vomited at least 1 liter of blood. The two guys next to him weren't there just for show.

   "I'm sorry that you will never be able to see your beloved wife ever again but sometimes for the sake of science sacrifices have to be made. You should be honored that you will be the first man to perform this breakthrough in the field of science. Imagine the limits that can be pushed after we genetically combine you with the cells of a lizard. The abilities of a lizard to regenerate its body parts will be passed on to a human. Of course, the risks are very high but if it is a success then who cares?"

   "I'll kill you if it's the last thing I do."

   "If this experiment happens, your husband will most likely die. And IF it does work, he will never be the same again. Probably wouldn't care about anything anymore, including you and your children."

   They were in Anna's father's private jet headed for America. Her children were back at England under the care of a professional babysitter. 

   "But why are you doing this? You don't get any profit if the experiment doesn't happen." 

   The only response that she got was a large smirk on his face. How she wanted to slap it off. But as much as she hated to admit it, she needed this man's services for the sake of John. 

   "Well then, since we are arriving at California, I advise you to buckle your seat belt."

   "Hey old man, listen to this. After our business over here is done you will send me and John back to England and never get involved in our lives ever again. Got it?"

   "Just shut up will you."

   On arrival there was a Porsche waiting for their arrival. 

   "Well then, let's go and see if that piece of filth is still alive."
