Katrina dragged me down the darkened hallway, leaving crimson footprints of Mason's blood trailing behind her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6geQMSKOD
I gazed back at the computer room, where Mason was bleeding out alone.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vV7L7kkJ3
"Where are we going? Shouldn't I be searching for the Annihilation Code in the database?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoAmql0sPE
Katrina laughed. "You must not know much about the way Bionic Corp is run."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydhnHtvIwh
I crossed my arms defensively. "I was a hacker for them, remember?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvQ03ND4f6
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTaCG02Qt7
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lOTS6SY36
Katrina froze. "Um, no. We're getting the Annihilation Code first, then I'll free your uncle."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJcOrKIrxn
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkgWWRh6cN
"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?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYfmLJTMHt
"Because I'm not a backstabbing traitor like you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJd9Ze0bha
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!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLcSDLWvTk
I crossed my arms and shot her an incredulous look."You think the Annihilation Code is hidden in a box of old newspapers?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONXbrIBvxP
"It's the last place anyone would expect."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIImESrqSqr
I rolled my eyes. "Maybe afterward we can check the dumpsters outside."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk1pmeaRmE
"Great idea!" She said, not detecting my sarcasm. She unfolded the newspapers on the ground and began tearing through them for anything useful.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrwho3cLjR
"Why do you even need me to sift through old newspapers? I thought you needed a hacker."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU5K1rk50z
She shrugged. "You never know what you'll need on a quest like this one."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFBUDt3rRb
"I'm not even that good of a hacker. You could easily find someone better than me at Bionic Corp."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8UcjWtTCC
"I know, but you're the best I could do on short notice. Plus, I already have leverage over you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVKLFOiSYh
"Isn't your boss going to wonder where you are?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm8VTAnVAR
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3ZgWu9PVR
"Can't they track your cybernetics?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdbgtftXDC
She shrugged. "They can, but they won't unless they have a reason to believe I'm not where I'm supposed to be."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LCU6Qolck
I knelt beside her and sifted through the headlines.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lgud8LV5X

"Have you noticed how these headlines have something in common?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6n18yqisJm
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzmcUdJgTn
"It's not slander if it's true," I argued.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUYMtcgAa7
"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?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHpY9oCvZX
"Why are you telling me this?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNivXmAKSm
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh3CQ4TLKp
Just as we finally finished sorting through the first box, she poured out a second box on top of our previous stack.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27hVODuGEK
"Katrina! You're making a mess." I scolded.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4aK7QhCRL
"Who cares. Now hurry up, we have a whole room full of boxes to go through.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL1JTCgicr
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?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnskKvsrAtM
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQJDUxnBWR
"She'd be disappointed in you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaks5T9oeBb
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOYqwnd5nv
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ax2En7nbK
"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!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRUXZfKXaq
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfapFqDDtuq
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!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x1InSd2Pv
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!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSBBnGUfyS
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau9Xh6nO0i
"It was very rude of you to shoot my brother."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz7q2anN8j
"Touché."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBI5tFzd70
I nudged the back of her skull with the barrel of my gun. "Less talking, more walking."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WakAXonWN
"Okay, okay." She obliged my request and guided me up the stairs and outside the building.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY44nz8lnEf
I gazed out at the sea for any sign of Atlas or Chase, but I couldn't spot any trace of them.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEujjAXnvh
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOzwTfkkkm
We stopped outside the garbage holding facility.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoJBq7bEjs
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSENbAo6Qa
"You hold your hostages in the garbage facility, of all places?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl8Se6rrjQ
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qonXqb1ll
"This whole operation feels illegal and unethical."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljwnQXv2HQ
"Oh, it is. It violates several local laws and The Geneva Convention." Katrina led me inside the facility and locked the door behind us.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsAjm34keu
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?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4yABdkHsb
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?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMOx8VlLMd
I didn't respond, but she took that as an answer.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteVjsmKTUM
"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!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF97Nhvgra
"Maybe everyone thinks you're the villain because
you are one."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuLFcmC594
"I knew you couldn't understand. You've always had it easy."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXXAtbfShk
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQgLu98h2R
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT6bne3WXy
"What about all the people you killed for Bionic Corp? That wasn't self-defense."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JJhEepLqr
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttecoLs8y8
I frowned. "It's still not okay."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoKhuOAwwM
"I know, I'm not asking you to excuse my actions."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrf3oXPtRn
"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?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4TUe2rXns
Her voice quavered ever so slightly. "I don't know."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42fa1pKRku
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4z65oAbIn
After her brief moment of indecision, she began groping the back wall, rubbing her hands up and down, and applying pressure.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwoDwP6G6q
I shot her a puzzled look. "What the hell are you doing?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ98S5dzBH
"I know there's a secret passageway around here somewhere. That's where they're keeping Patch."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAJ0dL7gTq
"You don't know where the secret passage is?" I said, incredulous. "Don't you work here?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEd7k14GKt
"I don't usually slum it with the prisoners, okay?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSkQkEPUk8
I rolled my eyes and began feeling the wall beside Katrina.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS5CMbHosF
"It won't open for you, silly. You need a microchip to get in."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppAI1fK4aK
Great. How convenient.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKso5Xi6EF
A small security bot whirred past us.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofUh5nbPru
"Hey! You! Where'd the secret passage go? Did you guys move it while I was out?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAJJmjBoE8
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XC5RJHk2V
Katrina rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Whoops."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtfK3gYKH4
The robot scanned me next. "Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert! This person is not authorized to enter this establishment. Intruder Alert!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaewX7XBLq3
I fired two shots directly into the robot's circuit board.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta8Pti8xxv
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZxtumlLaL
"Bionic Corp's top assassin gets foiled by a bunch of tiny security bots?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynMRQAuaRM
"Hey, I'm a busy woman. I don't have time to look where I'm going."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfB7QcYYQP
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiBlTGvk7A
We trudged down the long, darkened corridor until we reached a fork in the path.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8VM4CajU1
"Which way do we go?" I asked.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbEYLTn4QD
"Hold on, I'm thinking."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONJTIYQksG
"I can't believe you don't know."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI91fr9r3m
"It's like I already said, I don't come here often."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm2SMrpbve
"Halt!" A cyborg dressed in a Bionic Corp security uniform charged toward us with a rifle in hand. "Drop your weapons and identify yourselves."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX095c1cyb
Before I had time to comply, he noticed Katrina and froze. "Oblivion, is that you?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCn5GQp1yI
Katrina gave a dainty little wave. "Hi, Jordan."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB778KAfFSK
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VjQV5OryO
"Today is a special day, so I've decided to grace you all with my presence."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG8zpc1gRh
Jordan played along with her antics. "What did we do to deserve such an honor?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFEoR3zkYw
"I'm here on super important assassin business. I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." She winked at him.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAjyFNikZF
He didn't look amused. He haphazardly pointed his rifle towards me. "Who the hell is that?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HGmDnLGJM
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX25Gb31ORu
"Well, I'm going to need to scan your IDs. The whole place is on high alert. There was word of an intruder."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q40NOoHhb
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR549uujb0b
"Um, yes. That is definitely what happened. Those dumb little robots were at it again."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkqJaR4ben
"That is the most obvious lie I've ever heard. Care to tell me what's really going on, Katrina?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzWWlkSFv0
"Listen, I'm going to cut to the chase, I need to release one of the prisoners."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI74Tkf0tVY
He folded his arms across his chest. "No."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0hodavgEL
Katrina pursed her lips into a pout, clearly unhappy with hearing the word no. "Come on, Jordan. Help me out. Are we not friends?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7o6KmS2P0
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvunmObOm5s
"Why does everyone keep talking about the consequences of my actions, all of a sudden? I've never had any before."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBoBm9UIAd
"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?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvu1YA14Y1
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNJMlDAZjX
He shook his head vehemently. "No. No way. I can't be involved in this. They'll torture me and strip me for parts!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF4PlDcXVH
"Only if you get caught."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRlGsk3uz9
"What's going to happen after you die?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBrqZzRVBN
"Pfffft. I'm not gonna die. Nothing can kill me, I'm too awesome.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKJT2BZu2e
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7XBVak1tO
"Is that such a bad thing?" I muttered.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ScdvdhtW3
He pursed his lips in thought for several moments, then said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdohHkUwoUO
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57dnuuhigT
"You're not welcome!" He shouted after us but decided not to chase us down.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgD4Ss2PkR
I was grateful, I didn't think I could outrun him.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFe3JIsa1R
We stopped outside a large steel door. "Is this where you're keeping Patch?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrjsaCk1md
"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?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt095VCMLo
I shot her an incredulous look. "Are you just trying to scare me?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn5cfjYaJR
She grinned like the Cheshire Cat. "Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitnYC4WBx1
Katrina handed me Jordan's microchip, and I scanned the keypad with it. I took several deep breaths and hesitantly slid open the door.
