Katrina dragged me down the darkened hallway, leaving crimson footprints of Mason's blood trailing behind her.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg69CUodiC
I gazed back at the computer room, where Mason was bleeding out alone.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8roZave3u
"Where are we going? Shouldn't I be searching for the Annihilation Code in the database?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGgjaQltIk
Katrina laughed. "You must not know much about the way Bionic Corp is run."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACxT3OGh7N
I crossed my arms defensively. "I was a hacker for them, remember?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LZAaoVJqV
"Yeah, but you don't know them like I do. They'd never store something as important as the Annihilation Code in such an obvious spot. It has to be hidden somewhere we wouldn't expect."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dhXyStxjf
I need to put my foot down with her. Katrina is a loose cannon, I have to take what I want while I still have the chance. I took several deep breaths, but it didn't stop the rush of my pounding heart. I didn't know how Katrina would react to being stood up to. "We can go on your little treasure hunt after you take me to Patch."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5BaEPOx0i
Katrina froze. "Um, no. We're getting the Annihilation Code first, then I'll free your uncle."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu9ZKEAUJX
I shook my head. "Patch will be dead soon if we don't save him. The code will still be here when we get back."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrdjKyZkxY
"How do I know you'll still help me after I give up my leverage? How do I know you won't turn on me after that?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDkVnWV5HY
"Because I'm not a backstabbing traitor like you."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9V5A3HYWK
She flinched, it was very subtle, but I noticed. For some reason, my words had an effect on her. She shook herself out of whatever daze she was in and waved the pistol around haphazardly. "The person with the gun decides what we do next. Everyone knows that, Marisa. So, follow me." She guided me to the room full of newspapers. She flipped over one of the boxes and dumped the contents on the ground. "Don't just stand there, help me search!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatjhz7OAp9
I crossed my arms and shot her an incredulous look."You think the Annihilation Code is hidden in a box of old newspapers?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZtjd0yWAT
"It's the last place anyone would expect."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D4T8TyX2m
I rolled my eyes. "Maybe afterward we can check the dumpsters outside."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRvyxTbvw7
"Great idea!" She said, not detecting my sarcasm. She unfolded the newspapers on the ground and began tearing through them for anything useful.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUJjKMvNze
"Why do you even need me to sift through old newspapers? I thought you needed a hacker."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EUzBzr69c
She shrugged. "You never know what you'll need on a quest like this one."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EO45x7I1K
"I'm not even that good of a hacker. You could easily find someone better than me at Bionic Corp."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa3Pjhwo3f
"I know, but you're the best I could do on short notice. Plus, I already have leverage over you."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlgGAwbjid
"Isn't your boss going to wonder where you are?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4wxvntIWz
"Nope. That's what holograms are for. As long as no one touches me, it will look like I'm on patrol. Truly a marvel of modern technology. I don't know how I'd live without them."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6PRTFY2Bz
"Can't they track your cybernetics?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c4TfP7lRq
She shrugged. "They can, but they won't unless they have a reason to believe I'm not where I'm supposed to be."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXohFcWUcD
I knelt beside her and sifted through the headlines.

174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaelAWXxAZg
"Have you noticed how these headlines have something in common?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd4oqvyAr4
"Yeah, Bionic Corp doesn't take kindly to slander. They sued until these articles were taken off the web permanently. They confiscated what few physical papers existed."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaEZNhuAMK
"It's not slander if it's true," I argued.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnDsHthyrV
"Sure, but there's not enough evidence to prove it, and our lawyers are vicious. They hardly ever lose." She set down the pistol in an empty gap on the floor between us. She carefully read the names of each journalist. "I annihilated several of these journalists, you know?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vat99JPUE
"Why are you telling me this?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhOQKRVjmz
"Because I'm not allowed to talk about it with anyone. It's one of our rules that we never mention the murder after it happens. We're not even allowed to speak the names of the people we've killed after the deed is done. I'm sure they'd find a way to punish me for even thinking about them if it were possible. Soon they won't be able to afford to hurt me anymore. Once I'm the only person who has the code, I'll finally be safe," she whispered almost to herself.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0oPTcxWQz
Just as we finally finished sorting through the first box, she poured out a second box on top of our previous stack.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilJu4mVpSF
"Katrina! You're making a mess." I scolded.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yIQf7E2cU
"Who cares. Now hurry up, we have a whole room full of boxes to go through.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwfnf2VE8q
I let out several deep exhalations and relaxed my muscles. It took every ounce of my willpower to stop myself from losing my temper. She was acting like an impatient child, and I couldn't take it much longer. I want to go home. I studied Katrina as she flipped through the pages. Does she actually think the Annihilation Code is here, or is she trying to waste my time? "What are we doing here, Katrina? Why are you making me go through all these papers? What are you really looking for?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuE0wjFNtV
"My mother," She spoke, so softly I had to lean in to hear. "She was a revolutionary. She exposed Bionic Corp's shady business practices. She disappeared when I was a toddler. I've searched all over the world for any kind of trace of her, but there's nothing. It's like she never existed at all. I was hoping maybe in here I could find some remnant of her in here somewhere."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SB9JFCLiE
"She'd be disappointed in you."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GLG6Rd1rr
"I know," she said, tears glistened in her turquoise eyes. "but look where all her rebellion got her. She's gone, and the world is no better than when she left it. What's the point in fighting back, Marisa? We might as well make the best of our situation. We can't stop Bionic Corp, no one can."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmQO7EETl0
I'd never seen her so serious. This version of her was so different from her bubbly persona. Which version was the real her? Is she Katrina Madden, the vivacious rock star? Oblivion, the ruthless assassin? Is she the lonely person I'm speaking to right now? Maybe she's a culmination of all of them. I don't have time to solve the puzzle that is Katrina Madden. Patch needs me. In a split second, I grabbed the gun between us and aimed it squarely at her forehead.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolMIPHin1y
"Katrina raised her hands in surrender. "Woah, woah, woah, calm down. Let's be reasonable here. There's no need to make any rash decisions. We can talk this through!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8GW42eSin
"I don't want to talk. I want you to take me to Patch, now." My hands shook as I fingered the trigger. I took deep breaths in an attempt to subdue my incoming panic. What was I doing? This is so unlike me. I don't hold people at gunpoint, I'm not even brave enough to go outside. I suppose desperate times call for desperate measures.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iFn9pFegf
Katrina nodded vigorously. "Okay! Okay. I can do that for you, easy-peasy. Just don't shoot me. I haven't gotten my bulletproof steel skull enhancements yet. I can't take it!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg6sWNv9bd
My suspicions were correct. She's afraid to die. That's good. She has a weakness I can use to my advantage. As long as I'm holding this gun to her head, she'll do what I ask of her. "It's like you said, Katrina. The person with the gun decides what we do next. I say, take me to Patch!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wZeUGgsQt
Katrina reluctantly nodded and turned towards the door. "It was very rude of you to turn a gun on me after I was vulnerable with you."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQeMv9jgDQ
"It was very rude of you to shoot my brother."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8e0JEH7hn
"Touché."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIKgMvT16Y
I nudged the back of her skull with the barrel of my gun. "Less talking, more walking."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ArhKd5bHb
"Okay, okay." She obliged my request and guided me up the stairs and outside the building.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cJFAQQ1bX
I gazed out at the sea for any sign of Atlas or Chase, but I couldn't spot any trace of them.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4f7o1Oesx
She meandered down the road, glancing back at me every couple of seconds to check if I'd let my guard down. Not today. Not ever.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtkytudZGK
We stopped outside the garbage holding facility.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoNvMh68s8
"Here we are!" She gestured towards the dump like she was the host of a game show and the building was a car I'd just won.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsoTiWMicT
"You hold your hostages in the garbage facility, of all places?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzSZTMBBtO
"Yep, it's the perfect location. No one wants to spend more time here than necessary, much less poke around." Katrina unlocked the door by using a microchip in her wrist.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4H9Yo6Stc
"This whole operation feels illegal and unethical."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRemtN0FhO
"Oh, it is. It violates several local laws and The Geneva Convention." Katrina led me inside the facility and locked the door behind us.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbFhH3HhGu
I pinched my nose and stared at piles of garbage. "This is where Bionic Corp belongs." I didn't realize I'd said that out loud until I heard Katrina snort with laughter. "What? You're not mad at me for disrespecting your overlords?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPGu6sk3S2
She chuckled. "Hell no! I hate Bionic Corp. I probably loathe Bionic Corp more than most people do because I have the inside scoop. I know things the public would riot about if they ever discovered. I only work for Bionic Corp because I was drafted, just like Atlas and Mason and a bunch of others, but no one gives a damn about poor little me. Because I'm the bad guy and everything is my fault. That's what you think about me, right?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Yt6r1X5b
I didn't respond, but she took that as an answer.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX01shU0bqZ
"That's right, you think I'm the wicked villainess who's out to steal your firstborn child and make a coat out of puppies. That's how everyone sees me. No one seems to care that I've killed fewer people than Curseword or Vindicator. No one pays any mind to the fact that I was an orphan just like you because I'm Oblivion, and I'm the villain in your narrative!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rmHrx6rof
"Maybe everyone thinks you're the villain because
you are one."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBHSyDfLVn
"I knew you couldn't understand. You've always had it easy."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MxDZZUNTc
I clenched my fists. It took everything in me to restrain myself from punching her. "You think I had it easy? My life hasn't been all sunshine and roses, but I didn't become a remorseless killer like you."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKuN6Pom6f
"You don't know what it's like to be me! Your whole life, you've always had someone to take care of you. Your parents, your brother, your uncle, but me, I've been on my own since I was old enough to walk. I had to be violent to survive. I had to learn to relish it. The streets aren't a safe place for a little girl. It's kill or be killed out there. I did what I had to do to protect myself. So, no, I don't feel bad."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaDVM2QM15
"What about all the people you killed for Bionic Corp? That wasn't self-defense."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPW8UZckik
"I'm just following orders, Marisa. If I don't do as they say, they'll kill me and have someone else take my place. If I don't do it, someone else will."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD2h8QKMg5
I frowned. "It's still not okay."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl8oGPEZ2e
"I know, I'm not asking you to excuse my actions."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOr1ZfSReG
"Then what are you asking for?" It felt like our conversations were going in circles. She insists she's not the villain, and I put her back in her place again and again. What is she hoping to gain from all this?
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCsxVd3wnQ
Her voice quavered ever so slightly. "I don't know."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxCEP1Xzqw
I wanted to deliver some kind of retort. I wanted to ridicule her for her lack of conviction. She hasn't seemed to care about anything at all or have any sort of self-awareness. Something held me back from speaking my mind. Maybe it was how sad and pitiful she looked at the moment.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu14w4o86Mh
After her brief moment of indecision, she began groping the back wall, rubbing her hands up and down, and applying pressure.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Ekk6rZN2
I shot her a puzzled look. "What the hell are you doing?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqjnVdx3ye
"I know there's a secret passageway around here somewhere. That's where they're keeping Patch."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgBHJRAOQJ
"You don't know where the secret passage is?" I said, incredulous. "Don't you work here?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCQNKZ8ua5
"I don't usually slum it with the prisoners, okay?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPelgjK0L6Q
I rolled my eyes and began feeling the wall beside Katrina.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZkJqPfqQb
"It won't open for you, silly. You need a microchip to get in."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoRotL2Z60
Great. How convenient.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aseo9MhLp
A small security bot whirred past us.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9EndFM84F
"Hey! You! Where'd the secret passage go? Did you guys move it while I was out?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA2i68EnCA
He scanned her body from head to toe, then spoke. "Hello, Cyborg 11120189141 Call sign: Oblivion." He extended his little robot arm towards the opposite wall. "You're on the wrong side, miss. The passage to the holding cells is that way."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP6i3WLPqP
Katrina rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Whoops."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbVftTl9OU
The robot scanned me next. "Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert! This person is not authorized to enter this establishment. Intruder Alert!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW9BgR1uIC
I fired two shots directly into the robot's circuit board.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGXPjPkz1n
Katrina shot me an approving smirk. "Thank you. I can't stand those little things. They're so annoying, and they're always in my way. I'm constantly tripping over them."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqvY2YxP25
"Bionic Corp's top assassin gets foiled by a bunch of tiny security bots?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Onsyv4Ese
"Hey, I'm a busy woman. I don't have time to look where I'm going."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02100h4nU8
I waltzed over to the back wall and motioned for Katrina to follow me. She did as she was told and joined me on the other side of the room. She moved her hand up and down, left and right, until she finally located the hidden scanner and the passage opened up.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK6WvrmtMS
We trudged down the long, darkened corridor until we reached a fork in the path.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0RD1SZ7xV
"Which way do we go?" I asked.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2t0OTVfgn
"Hold on, I'm thinking."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqtB4hT8SU
"I can't believe you don't know."

"It's like I already said, I don't come here often."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUk2H3GQOf
"Halt!" A cyborg dressed in a Bionic Corp security uniform charged toward us with a rifle in hand. "Drop your weapons and identify yourselves."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErO0cAA4er
Before I had time to comply, he noticed Katrina and froze. "Oblivion, is that you?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwANCOWEiR3
Katrina gave a dainty little wave. "Hi, Jordan."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8oD5X1na1
He poked her with the barrel of his rifle. A look of genuine surprise flashed across his face when his hand didn't phase through her. "How nice of you to actually show up to work for once."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K8fui7jCy
"Today is a special day, so I've decided to grace you all with my presence."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf40DJZo9p
Jordan played along with her antics. "What did we do to deserve such an honor?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsORSMpk86v
"I'm here on super important assassin business. I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." She winked at him.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfH6BhMPY7
He didn't look amused. He haphazardly pointed his rifle towards me. "Who the hell is that?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdD1TyOqnA
Katrina waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, her?" Katrina glanced at me like she'd never seen me before. "She's from the tech department. She's helping me out with some stuff."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR01D8BebTL
"Well, I'm going to need to scan your IDs. The whole place is on high alert. There was word of an intruder."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhp4jth4m9
"That was me. Whoopsie. One of the security bots malfunctioned while it was scanning me. You know how stupid those little things can be. I don't know why we keep them around." Katrina nudged me in the side, signaling for me to play along.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb3ZP85DxH
"Um, yes. That is definitely what happened. Those dumb little robots were at it again."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrnG0JrPrW
"That is the most obvious lie I've ever heard. Care to tell me what's really going on, Katrina?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f8nTP4mZD
"Listen, I'm going to cut to the chase, I need to release one of the prisoners."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTsfqhFfPV
He folded his arms across his chest. "No."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWCJrKFHcd
Katrina pursed her lips into a pout, clearly unhappy with hearing the word no. "Come on, Jordan. Help me out. Are we not friends?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQivySIJ4ya
"First, I don't have friends anymore, I have colleagues. Second, I can't just defy orders. I'm not you. I can't just do whatever I want with little to no consequences."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx2JpLzHOZ
"Why does everyone keep talking about the consequences of my actions, all of a sudden? I've never had any before."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdgw5g00GJ
"That's my point, Katrina. Ever since you got promoted to top assassin, you've been able to get away with whatever you want. I don't have that privilege. Bionic Corp is willing to give you extra leniency because of your position, but if you keep slacking off, they're going to take you out and replace you. You hear me?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkVlfxafdK
Katrina glanced down and twiddled her thumbs. "That's why I'm here. She gestured towards me. "This little pain in my ass right here won't help me unless I bust her uncle out of captivity. She's even pulled a gun on me, if you haven't noticed. So, I could really use a favor."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt6NtxFDO7
He shook his head vehemently. "No. No way. I can't be involved in this. They'll torture me and strip me for parts!"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QxsWex5uH
"Only if you get caught."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvA5hCkIZD
"What's going to happen after you die?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3CkuNc2yo
"Pfffft. I'm not gonna die. Nothing can kill me, I'm too awesome.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWVOmClkTS
Jordan shook his head disapprovingly. "This is serious. Everyone dies at some point. What's going to happen when you die, and you're the only one who knows the code? Assassinations will be drastically harder to pull off."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ938eUPOcU3
"Is that such a bad thing?" I muttered.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPvTqwnjIl
He pursed his lips in thought for several moments, then said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnlFBra2rQ
"Okay, then." In the blink of an eye, she unsheathed a dagger and sliced open his hand. She extracted his bloody microchip. "If Bionic Corp asks, tell them I forced you to help. Thanks, Jordan!" Katrina grabbed my wrist and dragged me down the shadowed hallway.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOQYyS9WEj
"You're not welcome!" He shouted after us but decided not to chase us down.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2COfHn9ZaM
I was grateful, I didn't think I could outrun him.
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M1ZneSC19
We stopped outside a large steel door. "Is this where you're keeping Patch?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7fUHkYnGU
"I think so. This cell either belongs to him or Chainsaw Pete. He's this crazed cyborg serial killer with chainsaws for arms. Why don't you go inside and check?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8fTuO0UOE
I shot her an incredulous look. "Are you just trying to scare me?"
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFZLvVqVUN
She grinned like the Cheshire Cat. "Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not."
174Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkHSKpBISy
Katrina handed me Jordan's microchip, and I scanned the keypad with it. I took several deep breaths and hesitantly slid open the door.
