discomfort with the situation.
“Intel just sent these. Here you’ll see Parker in Munich with Gisbert Krauss.”
“Krauss?” Green asked from the
other side of the table. Green was their resident scientist who had a handy
werepanther gene. Sad thing was that Green actually looked tougher than he was.
He was as tall as Roi with a head of deep red hair and a set of biceps that
rivaled any other I-Op, but Green had never taken to the beast side of his
shifter abilities. Rather, he submersed himself in books and research, vowing
to make headway in the creation of more I-Ops teams. When Green had a question,
they all listened. He was the smartest man they’d ever known and considering
the room’s combined age, they’d been around long enough to know a whole lot of
people.
“Yes, Krauss,” Colonel Brooks
said, flipping to the next image, this one showing Parker standing again with
the short, balding Gisbert Krauss. “How much do you know about him?”
Green shifted in his seat a bit
and shrugged. “Just that he’s big in the field of genetic research. Big enough
that I’ve seen his name in a number of related publications. They’re claiming
he’s on the verge of some sort of genetic breakthrough. I saved all references
to him. I can get them if you’d like.”
“Why am I not surprised?” Wilson
asked. “They’re probably filed next to the pile of ‘things he does instead of
date’ collection.”
“If you’re done,” Colonel Brooks
said, staring at Wilson with a cold look.
“He’s done,” Lukian said
sternly. No one dared to question him. One, they respected him. Two, he’d rip
their heads off and spit down their neck before they had a chance to blink. He
wasn’t like the rest of the team. Lukian was born a shifter, a lycan. His
strength was unrivaled and he had other perks as well, like being King of the
Lycans.
“Tell us why Parker was meeting
with Krauss.” Lukian leaned forward in his seat. “I think we all know that it
wasn’t for an in-depth look into the life of a cell.”
Colonel Brooks ran a hand
through his salt and pepper hair before pointing at the image. “We’ve had our
eye on Krauss for a while now. We found out that he had a hand in an
underground paranormal website that talked about DNA alterations and the making
of super humans with the potential to be used as weapons for the highest paying
governments.”
Brooks advanced the image and
the next one showed Krauss standing with Parker near I-Ops Headquarters. The
room went silent. That was a little too close to home for their liking. They
glanced at one another nervously.
Clearing his throat, Brooks
continued, “We think Parker may have sold secrets to Krauss, led him straight
to us and worse yet, participated in the human studies.”
Green shot out of his seat.
“Studies? What the hell do you mean by studies? Mixing straight shifter DNA
with a normal human has a one-hundred percent fatality rate. If they’ve been
sacrificing men to serve their purpose then—”
Brooks put his hand up and
interrupted Green. “Not just men, women and children too. At least that’s what
Intel’s come back with.”
Roi’s stomach tightened. “Why in
the hell is ‘Intel’ just getting this information to us now? Christ, if we were
that slow half the country would be dead or vampires by now.”
“Same difference,” Wilson said,
snickering. Everyone ignored him.
Colonel Brooks shook his head
slightly. “Intel is not flawless. You know that. We do what we can with the
information they’re able to retrieve. Have you ever asked yourself how many men
died for what you’re seeing now?”
Roi snorted. “What I’m asking
myself is how many fucking women and children died, sir.”
“What else do we have on him?”
Lukian asked, raking his fingers over the table and ignoring Roi’s outburst.
“Do we know how many children they’ve killed?”
“No. But we know for certain,
that a large group of children were assembled in
