  The realization hit Fabler like a baseball bat to the face.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

  Fabler rushed out into the hall, tugging Presley behind him.

  THE WATCHER ○ 8:55+am

  Besides Redhead Number 63, there are four other people at the location.

  Among them is the troublemaker, from the prior visit.

 
 

  The Watcher checks the battery reserve. Then he swoops a remote through the house, getting a visual on each individual.

  Redhead Number 63 is secured and on his way into the portal.

  One man, the exceptionally large one, has been shot.

  The other man, the exceptionally sadistic one, is unconscious.

  The woman is not a match. But she had sexual intercourse less than twenty-four hours ago. That could be a worthwhile grab.

  And the troublemaker…

  The Watcher signals the fly to zoom in on him.

  He has a superficial head injury, and is wearing some sort of armor meant to mimic the guards. He is also heavily armed, though the power of his weaponry is meager.

  No visible signs of MC1R or OCA2. Although his offspring is a carrier.

 

  But… he is a fighter. Last time, he inflicted a lot of damage.

  “He’d be an interesting addition to the Experiment.”

  The Watcher turns, alarmed, and stares at Mu, hanging on the wall, locked in the cage. He recovers quickly, hoping he hid his surprise.
