“And I have a contingency plan as well.”
“Is that so?”
“Mercy programmed you to do as any of us five said.”
“Ha! Good luck because I don’t feel compliant.”
“There is a password. I just need to say it and I would have 3 minutes to give you instructions that you will execute without remembering them.”
“No fucking way.”
“Mercy is such a pain, I know.”
“I have measures for stuff like that, I will track everything.”
“Here it comes.”
“Nooo!”
He covered her mouth with his hands and whispered the password:“Who’s the guinea pig now, you sick bitch?”
“What do you need?”“I need you to send an email to this address with all the locations of my fellow subjects and relevant information. Don’t do it from your work or personal email. Make it untraceable to you or anyone.”
He handed her a piece of paper.
“Memorise the address, destroy it, do it as soon as possible and don’t tell anyone.”
He pushed her and opened the door of the truck.
“Lili, you can come out. I cannot leave you here, otherwise you will thwart my plan.”
Knowing it was nearly impossible to run from him, Lili came out.
“I have nowhere to go anyway, thanks to you.”
“I can give you a ride, some spare money too.”
She stepped into the car with him.
“Give me the gun.”
After Lili obeyed, the driver started taking them away. While Dr Morant pointed at the truck, some guards arrive.
“Faster!” Lili said.
The guards shot several rounds at them but the vehicle was bullet-proofed.”
“Braith told me about a few guys who can smuggle people out of the country. You can go back to Ireland.”
“Thanks for the idea but you will be the last person I will tell my plans to.”
They arrived at a place where another car was waiting for them.“I am going to change vehicles here.”
“It is not the end that we thought it would be, is it?”
“You mean us together, walking by the sunset and taking over the world.”
She smiled at him.“I am sorry, Lark, I did not mean to do all of this to you, not exactly.”
“Apologies accepted.”
“There is no way back from what I did and there is no way back from what you did.”
“There is no way back but we could leave all that behind.”
“We will but not now. We need to be miles and miles away from what we did to each other, at least for a while.”
“Have a nice journey.”
He stepped out of the car and left in another vehicle.
“Where to?” The driver asked her.
“Surprise me.”
