In the dark room, two men sat in deep thought and watched the girl walk around the room, searching for a door. She kept feeling the back of her head.
“Conrad, what are your thoughts?” one man asked, turning to his colleague.
Conrad turned from his gaze into the room and replied after a moment’s reflection, “She doesn’t seem to realize it yet. You are sure none of her brain cells were damaged?”
The man laughed quietly. “Brain cells were damaged. It’s unavoidable. But no serious damage, not so much as to hamper the processes of her mind.”
They both turned to watch the girl as she crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. She was shivering.
“I told you we should have experimented on the other one.”
Conrad shook his head. “No, I believe this was the best choice.”
The other man stood. “Well, this is your field, Conrad. I’m sure you know what you’re doing.”
He nodded. “I do indeed.”
“And, what of the other? Connor Wilhelmson? Have you anything planned?”
“Mm. Preparations have been made quite in advance. We shall see how this experiment goes first.”
At that moment, someone burst through the door. “Sir!” the man called.
“Yes?” Conrad stood.
“He’s escaped!”
“What?!” the man gasped.
“And he’s headed this way!” The messenger caught his breath and left.
“Well?” the other man asked.
Conrad looked into the window again. “This test has gone well enough. Let us conduct our next experiment, shall we?”
The other man nodded and walked out of the room with a sly grin.
