An Ill-Fated Love Affair (16)

Everything was always easier said than done. The moment Chris saw that Iris was against cooperating, he called back his guards. They were outside, so it would take them a few minutes to arrive, but then Iris' time would be over. With seven or so people in the not-so-large lab room, there wouldn't be that much place for her to maneuver.

'I have to do something before the guards come.' If she didn't, things would go really bad for her.

Chris didn't rush in to catch her, but the two scientists did. They ignored their lofty standings and went after her like any hoodlum. It wasn't hard to dodge their inexperienced grabs, but what did it gain her?

Iris looked around, hoping to see some kind of tool she could use to fight back. It wasn't in her nature to hurt others, but the people coming after her had lost their humanity years ago. If they could put children through torture just to further their goals, they didn't deserve any sort of consideration.
