Katrina dragged me down the darkened hallway, leaving crimson footprints of Mason's blood trailing behind her.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBkm5AAPy4
I gazed back at the computer room, where Mason was bleeding out alone.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIiKHHCafo
"Where are we going? Shouldn't I be searching for the Annihilation Code in the database?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKgrGojZKE
Katrina laughed. "You must not know much about the way Bionic Corp is run."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44L3fhEAWE
I crossed my arms defensively. "I was a hacker for them, remember?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF1l9ifVb3
"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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS037qhiKdl
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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2XotycrqJ
Katrina froze. "Um, no. We're getting the Annihilation Code first, then I'll free your uncle."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1VuDPFwv8
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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWmAPwxEA1
"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?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ZTcB4u9E
"Because I'm not a backstabbing traitor like you."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9YOsdbs7X
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!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3MGRwtxCq
I crossed my arms and shot her an incredulous look."You think the Annihilation Code is hidden in a box of old newspapers?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbD086fzvR
"It's the last place anyone would expect."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF8bM2VTlC
I rolled my eyes. "Maybe afterward we can check the dumpsters outside."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzGqdjIdZH
"Great idea!" She said, not detecting my sarcasm. She unfolded the newspapers on the ground and began tearing through them for anything useful.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dzWHmcnPA
"Why do you even need me to sift through old newspapers? I thought you needed a hacker."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRlJh057Ie
She shrugged. "You never know what you'll need on a quest like this one."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXA2UwKxJS
"I'm not even that good of a hacker. You could easily find someone better than me at Bionic Corp."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJvrhBHeJQ
"I know, but you're the best I could do on short notice. Plus, I already have leverage over you."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiDD4nRBe9
"Isn't your boss going to wonder where you are?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBM5WRqeZC
"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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXAODtLs9o
"Can't they track your cybernetics?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaAA5d9An9
She shrugged. "They can, but they won't unless they have a reason to believe I'm not where I'm supposed to be."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVPBvjZIIn
I knelt beside her and sifted through the headlines.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aFuv2Yp1z

345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcArsqbUJW
"Have you noticed how these headlines have something in common?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3FoS5zVva
"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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKidq8X0Sq
"It's not slander if it's true," I argued.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ykpxMd6e
"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?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81V03XHx3S
"Why are you telling me this?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe25HjCuuhk
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyJEjxJiG6
Just as we finally finished sorting through the first box, she poured out a second box on top of our previous stack.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nHBDAzELN
"Katrina! You're making a mess." I scolded.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW6A0BtiP7
"Who cares. Now hurry up, we have a whole room full of boxes to go through.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIwyF8wqCr
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?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf1Dj6vS2D
"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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ3gyC7g2A
"She'd be disappointed in you."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54xpTxT1jf
"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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbSbc8bBfn
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdF9cSZolz
"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!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFQGNWC44I
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5IJ1Lg2cK
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!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFhZkjoFhk
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!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceKcBqD99i
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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YKMjlJiQZ
"It was very rude of you to shoot my brother."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqcGB3Xml4
"Touché."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDQLunqoPy
I nudged the back of her skull with the barrel of my gun. "Less talking, more walking."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7a4xVipeK
"Okay, okay." She obliged my request and guided me up the stairs and outside the building.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsPGmP07pY
I gazed out at the sea for any sign of Atlas or Chase, but I couldn't spot any trace of them.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzEly215ew
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGC79IwB38
We stopped outside the garbage holding facility.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXGdCRPjGZ
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhoJLJaNQt
"You hold your hostages in the garbage facility, of all places?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vEUftrajf
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxwKARcNMZ
"This whole operation feels illegal and unethical."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwYkZJJtlE
"Oh, it is. It violates several local laws and The Geneva Convention." Katrina led me inside the facility and locked the door behind us.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW1FF6HVFX
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?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEqwmO0Lmg
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?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO50LcFtt19
I didn't respond, but she took that as an answer.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLszdR1kyg
"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!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzudQnw1kk
"Maybe everyone thinks you're the villain because
you are one."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIEDciJvZI
"I knew you couldn't understand. You've always had it easy."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKNZq6LYdj
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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEI17KNdFT
"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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnzI3H7fQz
"What about all the people you killed for Bionic Corp? That wasn't self-defense."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDgf0aSieM
"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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH2eku7EGM
I frowned. "It's still not okay."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus8V392FtB
"I know, I'm not asking you to excuse my actions."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7ccXtweW2
"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?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGMgUYxHmF
Her voice quavered ever so slightly. "I don't know."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYSfmNjGV2
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh2DNj0Xth
After her brief moment of indecision, she began groping the back wall, rubbing her hands up and down, and applying pressure.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6a5k5POhg
I shot her a puzzled look. "What the hell are you doing?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uKjKWWW9M
"I know there's a secret passageway around here somewhere. That's where they're keeping Patch."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VsMnXUnkp
"You don't know where the secret passage is?" I said, incredulous. "Don't you work here?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mj3MLZ4PF
"I don't usually slum it with the prisoners, okay?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdhlRHGGcc
I rolled my eyes and began feeling the wall beside Katrina.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnatrdhhj9
"It won't open for you, silly. You need a microchip to get in."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72okM8yzvp
Great. How convenient.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcVNK06JHc
A small security bot whirred past us.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGCCJETfuX
"Hey! You! Where'd the secret passage go? Did you guys move it while I was out?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh3LnRvtdM
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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxz0yPGTkR
Katrina rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Whoops."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRzQqW37kd
The robot scanned me next. "Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert! This person is not authorized to enter this establishment. Intruder Alert!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqD1C1zMqa
I fired two shots directly into the robot's circuit board.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIc5U55NVA
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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu6CSTYBqL
"Bionic Corp's top assassin gets foiled by a bunch of tiny security bots?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW1KX0X4ji
"Hey, I'm a busy woman. I don't have time to look where I'm going."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjudSiyBQQ
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqvjtGL8Dl
We trudged down the long, darkened corridor until we reached a fork in the path.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbLBcB31l2
"Which way do we go?" I asked.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ic0ElJg2q
"Hold on, I'm thinking."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSeDYamqqr
"I can't believe you don't know."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0jzwSKc2
"It's like I already said, I don't come here often."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i2JlzDmrp
"Halt!" A cyborg dressed in a Bionic Corp security uniform charged toward us with a rifle in hand. "Drop your weapons and identify yourselves."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8TYvnZetH
Before I had time to comply, he noticed Katrina and froze. "Oblivion, is that you?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD1q0mMwtG
Katrina gave a dainty little wave. "Hi, Jordan."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlbHI3xpv4
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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yC0DeJ70Y
"Today is a special day, so I've decided to grace you all with my presence."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bVOKIEn8I
Jordan played along with her antics. "What did we do to deserve such an honor?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNES9hjBq9
"I'm here on super important assassin business. I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." She winked at him.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TG2nGccos
He didn't look amused. He haphazardly pointed his rifle towards me. "Who the hell is that?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCi1tHmGnO
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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNo0rJzBTU
"Well, I'm going to need to scan your IDs. The whole place is on high alert. There was word of an intruder."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtnQuKTalT
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ArXkwuvX
"Um, yes. That is definitely what happened. Those dumb little robots were at it again."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iAETS443O
"That is the most obvious lie I've ever heard. Care to tell me what's really going on, Katrina?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcV8hDZF6T
"Listen, I'm going to cut to the chase, I need to release one of the prisoners."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH04p3bY6HV
He folded his arms across his chest. "No."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKfVkdiVTq
Katrina pursed her lips into a pout, clearly unhappy with hearing the word no. "Come on, Jordan. Help me out. Are we not friends?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr4soppBBT
"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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGebnxIicP
"Why does everyone keep talking about the consequences of my actions, all of a sudden? I've never had any before."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQr27Xuiox
"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?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvT18HflV5
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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDNSjBiXJm
He shook his head vehemently. "No. No way. I can't be involved in this. They'll torture me and strip me for parts!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqDear9ima
"Only if you get caught."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWw5YwjKsd
"What's going to happen after you die?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lvNQVvNdS
"Pfffft. I'm not gonna die. Nothing can kill me, I'm too awesome.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo1Lxn4Dh8
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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfdM1dgq9j
"Is that such a bad thing?" I muttered.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMHkxbfZpT
He pursed his lips in thought for several moments, then said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXiojSNDQK
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvZ3sHzMKs
"You're not welcome!" He shouted after us but decided not to chase us down.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5HvQOGJHO
I was grateful, I didn't think I could outrun him.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dPEOeGhYz
We stopped outside a large steel door. "Is this where you're keeping Patch?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywksNJpOnU
"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?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnF8JYG0KZ
I shot her an incredulous look. "Are you just trying to scare me?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Fywp1McB
She grinned like the Cheshire Cat. "Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tn3BqH8PG
Katrina handed me Jordan's microchip, and I scanned the keypad with it. I took several deep breaths and hesitantly slid open the door.
