—What do you mean they implanted a virus in us?— John asked in an alarmed tone.


    It turns out that once the girl had freed herself, the first thing she did was grab the notebook that was on the only table in the room and begin to explain to him what she knew.


    Starting from the beginning, the girl''s name was Judy, Judy Smith, and apparently, Rick, the guy who contacted John in the first place, is the same guy who contacted Judy with the excuse of having a solution to her problem.


    Judy then explained to him how, since she was born, she had found it difficult to speak as she was born with incomplete vocal cords. This, according to her, caused her many inconveniences that she preferred not to detail at the moment.


    The point is that this guy appears out of nowhere one day and offers her the miraculous offer, using more or less the same speech he used with John.


    Once she accepted, she signed the contract and had the surgery. Once she woke up, she felt different. What she didn''t know was that her vocal cords had not only been repaired but they had been enhanced to be thicker, stronger, and, more flexible.


    The bad thing about this was that every time she opened her mouth, her voice would come out in the form of an explosion, no matter what volume she did it at, whether whispering or shouting, whatever she said would result in a supersonic pop that would at least hurt anyone in the vicinity.


    Needless to say, John didn''t know how to react.


    The situation seemed increasingly surreal and not in a good way.


    —Judy, I''m sorry,— said John as Judy looked at him, although she didn''t seem sad, but rather angry, and she showed it once she grabbed the notebook and turned the page to write on it again. Once she finished, she turned it over and...


    I WANT THEM TO PAY!!


    John looked at the notebook with some surprise.


    —Them? Them who?—


    The angry expression on her face did not change and she angrily turned the page of the notebook, quickly writing on it again until I heard the tip of the pen break.


    Once she turned the page, his expression became one of confusion.


    HELIX CORP


    —Eh? I don''t know them, to be honest, I''m not very knowledgeable about the business world,— I said as I scratched my head in embarrassment.


    She sighed helplessly. As if giving up on John, she started to move towards the door, exiting through the double door and heading for the electronically sealed door.


    His confusion grew as he saw that she was trying to open the door.


    —Hey Judy!! It''s magnetically sealed, it''s not going to...—


    The loudest scream John had ever heard interrupted him, causing him to quickly cover his ears. Unfortunately, with his enhanced hearing, he could still hear.


    With a scream that echoed like thunder, Judy raised her voice. The sonic boom shook the room, vibrating the walls and passing through the air like a shockwave. The reinforced door, designed to resist any attempt at forced entry, trembled and creaked under the pressure of the sound.


    John, still with his hands covering his ears, watched her in amazement. Anger crackled in her eyes as she continued to scream.


    John stared open-mouthed as the door warped, its electronic locks screeching and failing under Judy''s power. A second scream followed the first, even louder, bouncing off the walls as if unleashing a storm. The metal twisted, and the flash of lights flickering on the lock gave way to an overwhelming silence.


    The door could not withstand the attack. With a deafening crash, it was wrenched from its frame and fell back with a dull thud. John felt the floor tremble beneath his feet as the echo of the scream resonated in his chest.


    Judy stood there for a moment, looking at the result of her actions for a few seconds. Her eyes shone with a mixture of triumph and contained fury.


    John blinked, trying to process what he had just witnessed. Instead of fear, he felt admiration for this girl who had been subjected to so much suffering but who still faced danger without any fear whatsoever.


    —That was... impressive,— he managed to articulate.


    Judy smiled slightly before heading towards the opening she had created, her gaze fixed on what lay beyond the destroyed door.


    John took a step forward to follow her, still reeling from the intensity of the moment.


    Judy moved determinedly towards the exit, adrenaline still coursing through her veins. The echo of the scream resonated in her mind, a reminder of the power she now possessed. But as she crossed the threshold of the shattered door, she came upon a group of guards who had been searching for John. Their faces twisted in surprise at the sight of the girl, their weapons automatically raised.


    —Get back!— shouted one of them, pointing a gun. —Go back to your cell.—


    Judy did not reply. Without thinking twice, she let out another scream, this one louder and full of fury. The sound cut through the air like a sharp knife.


    The guards covered their ears, but it was too late. The shockwave from the scream hit the men with devastating force. One fell to the ground, trembling from the impact; another recoiled, trying to regain his balance but soon lost control and also collapsed.


    Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    John watched from the doorway. Horror and admiration intertwined in his chest as he watched Judy unleash her fury on those men who had contributed to her suffering.


    —Judy!— he shouted, but she continued to attack without stopping.


    A third guard cautiously advanced, trying to target Judy from a different angle, but she gave him no chance. With a new deafening scream that resonated like an explosion inside the narrow corridor, she knocked the man down with such force that he crashed into the wall and fell unconscious.


    The fourth guard hesitated, looking at his fallen comrades and then at Judy with fear. The fury in his eyes offered no compassion; it was pure vengeance distilled in every vibration of his voice.


    John felt he had to intervene. He quickly approached Judy, reaching out to stop her.


    —Stop it!— he exclaimed urgently. —Don''t do it...—


    But Judy completely ignored him. Anger had taken control of her being.


    She looked at the last guard still standing and let out another devastating scream that reverberated off the walls as if they were bells ringing a death sentence. The sound made the guard stagger back and fall to the floor like his companions before him.


    With each attack launched mercilessly by Judy, John felt powerless in the maelstrom of violence unleashed in front of him.


    Judy threw herself through the shattered door, her heart pounding with adrenaline. The corridor stretched out before her, full of sealed doors, all of them identical. Without looking back, she hurried towards the largest exit at the end of the corridor. The feeling of freedom enveloped her, although she knew she was not yet safe.


    Meanwhile, John moved cautiously through the central command. He had shot the guard watching the entrance, his movements fast and precise; a flash of light illuminated the chaos he had left behind. With the silence deafening in his ears, he searched among the disordered equipment and flickering screens.


    Judy entered the room shortly afterward, her face still marked by the anger she had unleashed. John looked up as he heard the soft crunch of her footsteps on the cold floor.


    —What did you find?— he asked, not taking his eyes off the desk overflowing with documents.


    Judy began to explore among the crumpled papers and worn folders. She moved quickly, her anxious gaze searching for answers that seemed to be hidden among the yellowed pages.


    John approached her and glanced at the contents scattered all over the table. There were medical reports, lists of procedures and unknown names scribbled in the margins. However, nothing seemed to give them a clue as to who was behind this cruel operation.


    —Look at this,— said John, pointing to an open file. —It talks about experiments on humans... but it doesn''t mention anyone specifically.—


    Judy frowned and took a sheet from the pile to read it quickly. With each word she scanned, her frustration grew.


    Suddenly, Judy threw the paper to the ground and began to search more frantically through the remaining files. Her desperation was palpable; every second lost increased the possibility of being caught again.


    John felt the weight of time getting heavier as they searched aimlessly through the administrative mess.


    —Is there nothing?—he muttered, aware that there could be more people who could show up at any moment.


    Judy turned to him, her eyes full of determination but also of uneasiness. She couldn''t speak to him with words; her voice had been taken from her like so many other things in her life. However, his expression said it all: they had to keep looking.


    John and Judy continued to review the documents scattered across the table, anxiety growing in the air as they searched for any clue that might explain what had happened to them. The flickering light of the screens illuminated their faces, but the brightness brought no hope.


    —It can''t be...—John muttered, running his hand through his messy hair. Frustration built up in his chest as he reviewed the same reports over and over again.


    Judy took another look at the papers, her face reflecting a mixture of disappointment and anger. With a quick gesture, she threw a pile of folders to the floor, where they fell with a thud.


    However, everything seemed harmless: lists of medical supplies, dates of routine procedures, and common names that revealed nothing relevant. There was no indication of her experiments or connections with Helix Corp.


    John leaned forward, trying to keep her hope alive.


    —Maybe...—he began to say as he examined yet another report. However, his voice trailed off when he saw that there was nothing unusual on the page.


    Judy took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment. Helplessness burned in her chest; she had imagined finding answers, but now she only found a labyrinth with no exit.


    They began to go through the papers again, each with increasingly listless movements. Judy turned the pages as if they were dry leaves in autumn; John moved his hands quickly but felt that each document only took him further away from a solution.


    After several minutes of fruitless searching, they both looked at each other, frustration evident on their faces. John frowned as Judy let out a heavy sigh. The silence between them was deafening.


    —There''s nothing here...—John finally said, his voice trembling as if the words themselves were hard for him to utter.


    Judy nodded slowly and looked around the messy room. It was clear that they had wasted their time; they had hoped to find something valuable to understand their situation or plan their escape.


    As Judy picked up some fallen leaves from the floor, she felt the weight of hopelessness threatening to crush her. Despite everything they had endured and how far they had come, they still seemed to be caught in an invisible web carefully woven so that the people in charge were impossible to locate.


    John noticed her dejection and leaned on the table next to her.


    —We need to get out of here—he muttered.—We can''t stay here any longer. Whoever runs this place must already know what''s going on here.


    Finally, Judy nodded.


    John and Judy advanced towards the main door, the echo of their escape resonating in the empty corridors. With each step they took, the urgency in their hearts increased. The sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer; the guards were on their way.


    Judy, with renewed determination, turned to John. She pointed to the exit, and soon he understood what she meant; she was ordering him to leave.


    He nodded, understanding that there was no time for more words. With a push, Judy ran ahead and, when a group of guards appeared around the corner of the corridor, she reacted quickly.


    Without thinking twice, she let out a deafening scream. The shock wave shot through the air and hit the men like a tsunami. Two guards fell to the ground, unable to react; their bodies slumped with a thud.


    —Come on!—John shouted as she continued her attack. He couldn''t let fear stop him.


    Judy moved nimbly between the fallen bodies and let out another scream. The reverberating sound left another guard trembling against the wall, unable to keep his balance. With each scream, she unleashed her pent-up anger on those who had played with their lives.


    Finally they reached the main door, and Judy pushed John out just before letting out one last burst of her powerful voice.


    A titanic scream echoed throughout the complex like celestial thunder. The walls vibrated; the floor shook beneath their feet. John covered his ears with both hands as he felt the power of the scream expanded in destructive waves around them.


    The window panes exploded as if they were fragile sheets of paper, and the doors shook violently in their frames. The structure began to creak and twist under the pressure of the sound emanating from Judy.


    The complex seemed to respond to her anger; the foundations trembled as the lights flickered wildly before going out completely.


    With each passing second, the rumble grew louder and more menacing, tearing at the architecture of the place where they had been trapped.


    John felt adrenaline coursing through his body as he watched the walls begin to crumble around them. The echo of the scream continued to reverberate in his mind even after it had ceased.


    —Quick!—John shouted when he realized that they had to get away from the imminent collapse.


    Judy followed him without hesitation, but her gaze remained fixed on the collapsing complex behind them, her face wearing a satisfied expression.
