Sarah slowly smoothed her disheveled locks and plucked a tissue from the stack beside her to dab at her lips.
n, how many folks you got on the outside?”
The moment the words left her lips,n knew that the map had indeede from her. But as the key researcher in the project,
she shouldn''t have had the chance to step foot outside.
“At the research base, we''re talking a couple dozen. Beyond that, sky''s the limit.”
Sarah lifted a hand to her temple, massaging it as she rose to her feet and walked out.n trailed behind her, navigating the
extended corridor until they stopped at the research bench. Only then did she grip the icy edge of the countertop before her.
“As many as | want, huh? | suppose that answer will do.”
“And your role, Doctor?”
Sarah gazed nkly at the vial before her, a smile suddenly ying at her lips.
“| need a team, the bigger, the better. | want out of this ce.”
She had set her sights onn because she needed an ally. The effort it took to send that map was her at her limits. Despite

“How did you manage to send out that map, Doctor?”
Sarah reached for a ss of lukewarm water and took a sip. Sweat had already begun to bead on her forehead in the brief
interval.
“It was a close shave. | couldn’t make the map too obvious, but lucky for me, you got the gist.”
lan had deciphered the map because he knew about a secret passage on Forbidden Ind. By working backward from the
passage''s location, he''d pieced it together.
To anyone else, the map would have been gibberish. So, he surmised that another part of the map indicated the research base.
It was a bit of a guess since he was investigating the base at that time.
Sarah stretched out to massage her temple, her physical state seemingly deteriorating, sweat continuously streaming.
“What do you need me to do, Doctor?”
“First, take out Summer.”
lan didn’t ask why Summer had to die. He could sense a potent emotion in her tone - not hatred, but revulsion.
“Alright, after Summer''s gone, then what? Got an escape n?”
“Not yet. But now, | can start to forge a path out. Before, my own strength was just too meager.”
lan raised his eyebrows, “Doctor, I’ve been here for over a week. Why didn’t you clue me in sooner?”
“My situation’s been unstable.”
“What do you mean?”
Sarah continued to press at her temple as the sweat slid down her cheeks and onto her whiteb coat.
“A few years back, | helped a guy who
bore some resemnce to you. He:
the only one wha everiéscdped

thought the experiments would get
the better of him, that he''d die here.”

lan felt a jolt in his chest. Without further exnation, he knew that man was his brother, Eric. Sarah pulled out a cigarette, her
fingers trembling slightly.
