The Lockridge was screaming. I glanced at the tachometer as I past. It was topping five thousand RPM, and still increasing. Something in the Lockridge started smoking.
Outside the Lab doors, I stood with Clive and watched through the small circular observation windows in the doors as they hermetically sealed.
“This will be messy,” Clive said when we heard the speed of the Lockridge ramp up a final time and explode.
The doors to the Lab shook and all the lights went out as shrapnel from the Lockridge embedded itself in the walls and ceiling.
I looked at Clive. “Shit,” I said and peeked into the lab through the window, “where’d all that extra power come from?”
“Don’t know but looks like we may have found a suitable candidate to replace the combustion engine.”
“Looks like we’ve got to start again,” I said as the lights flickered back on.
The telephone in the lab rang and Clive entered to answer it. I followed and inspected the remains of the Lockridge, clearing the fallen ceiling panels from the remains of the device. I was only half listening to Clive on the phone until I sensed the gravity of his responses.
“…Finally,” Clive responded to whoever was on the phone, “where was she?....Why?...... Addiction! That’s not possible...”
Clive finished the call and replaced the handset, “They’ve found Karin.”
“Where? Is she okay?”
“She’s a patient at a mental hospital in Hadamar and they don’t know yet, Lee is flying out with George to help and will keep us posted. It appears Henrik had her sectioned before disappearing.”
To be continued…………….
“Who controls the food supply
controls the people;
who controls the energy
can control whole continents;
who controls the money
can control the world.”
Henry Kissinger, 1973
