Katrina dragged me down the darkened hallway, leaving crimson footprints of Mason's blood trailing behind her.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QoCYOL4NP
I gazed back at the computer room, where Mason was bleeding out alone.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFz74fv51O
"Where are we going? Shouldn't I be searching for the Annihilation Code in the database?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tiaS6yHig
Katrina laughed. "You must not know much about the way Bionic Corp is run."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbEv0w5nU0
I crossed my arms defensively. "I was a hacker for them, remember?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygHqHBpSge
"Yeah, but you don't know them like I do. They'd never store something as important as the Annihilation Code in such an obvious spot. It has to be hidden somewhere we wouldn't expect."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC1uRlolAP
I need to put my foot down with her. Katrina is a loose cannon, I have to take what I want while I still have the chance. I took several deep breaths, but it didn't stop the rush of my pounding heart. I didn't know how Katrina would react to being stood up to. "We can go on your little treasure hunt after you take me to Patch."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxp2ILX7p6
Katrina froze. "Um, no. We're getting the Annihilation Code first, then I'll free your uncle."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsYv8bjDFP
I shook my head. "Patch will be dead soon if we don't save him. The code will still be here when we get back."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLag78oXyLu
"How do I know you'll still help me after I give up my leverage? How do I know you won't turn on me after that?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9V81Pk4It
"Because I'm not a backstabbing traitor like you."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhkUtgkXVH
She flinched, it was very subtle, but I noticed. For some reason, my words had an effect on her. She shook herself out of whatever daze she was in and waved the pistol around haphazardly. "The person with the gun decides what we do next. Everyone knows that, Marisa. So, follow me." She guided me to the room full of newspapers. She flipped over one of the boxes and dumped the contents on the ground. "Don't just stand there, help me search!"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZJuoEcRcn
I crossed my arms and shot her an incredulous look."You think the Annihilation Code is hidden in a box of old newspapers?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGeNfoDRC1
"It's the last place anyone would expect."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIzNVlM0vC
I rolled my eyes. "Maybe afterward we can check the dumpsters outside."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb0gVUlwrz
"Great idea!" She said, not detecting my sarcasm. She unfolded the newspapers on the ground and began tearing through them for anything useful.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZs4RvWjsw
"Why do you even need me to sift through old newspapers? I thought you needed a hacker."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZuoVd3gXl
She shrugged. "You never know what you'll need on a quest like this one."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFOUE8bY1x
"I'm not even that good of a hacker. You could easily find someone better than me at Bionic Corp."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpV5LxabHH
"I know, but you're the best I could do on short notice. Plus, I already have leverage over you."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bLUyyZKV4
"Isn't your boss going to wonder where you are?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HRkqDcuMQ
"Nope. That's what holograms are for. As long as no one touches me, it will look like I'm on patrol. Truly a marvel of modern technology. I don't know how I'd live without them."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bggI7BWwN
"Can't they track your cybernetics?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvQ8BNEG2T
She shrugged. "They can, but they won't unless they have a reason to believe I'm not where I'm supposed to be."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzngmNQ8PPA
I knelt beside her and sifted through the headlines.

417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4jzaI5ueZ
"Have you noticed how these headlines have something in common?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5MZFXh6qE
"Yeah, Bionic Corp doesn't take kindly to slander. They sued until these articles were taken off the web permanently. They confiscated what few physical papers existed."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B4EoJN8FU
"It's not slander if it's true," I argued.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u0vecJL6R
"Sure, but there's not enough evidence to prove it, and our lawyers are vicious. They hardly ever lose." She set down the pistol in an empty gap on the floor between us. She carefully read the names of each journalist. "I annihilated several of these journalists, you know?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA9XpeDQih
"Why are you telling me this?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLLQforLZX
"Because I'm not allowed to talk about it with anyone. It's one of our rules that we never mention the murder after it happens. We're not even allowed to speak the names of the people we've killed after the deed is done. I'm sure they'd find a way to punish me for even thinking about them if it were possible. Soon they won't be able to afford to hurt me anymore. Once I'm the only person who has the code, I'll finally be safe," she whispered almost to herself.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYQPRVCtBP
Just as we finally finished sorting through the first box, she poured out a second box on top of our previous stack.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeMu9TXG7Y
"Katrina! You're making a mess." I scolded.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F5lD5fhqs
"Who cares. Now hurry up, we have a whole room full of boxes to go through.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8xbM41irT
I let out several deep exhalations and relaxed my muscles. It took every ounce of my willpower to stop myself from losing my temper. She was acting like an impatient child, and I couldn't take it much longer. I want to go home. I studied Katrina as she flipped through the pages. Does she actually think the Annihilation Code is here, or is she trying to waste my time? "What are we doing here, Katrina? Why are you making me go through all these papers? What are you really looking for?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyKhVicy7D
"My mother," She spoke, so softly I had to lean in to hear. "She was a revolutionary. She exposed Bionic Corp's shady business practices. She disappeared when I was a toddler. I've searched all over the world for any kind of trace of her, but there's nothing. It's like she never existed at all. I was hoping maybe in here I could find some remnant of her in here somewhere."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj1pdG0sLR
"She'd be disappointed in you."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8ItI7vLw5
"I know," she said, tears glistened in her turquoise eyes. "but look where all her rebellion got her. She's gone, and the world is no better than when she left it. What's the point in fighting back, Marisa? We might as well make the best of our situation. We can't stop Bionic Corp, no one can."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE2BirzPZB
I'd never seen her so serious. This version of her was so different from her bubbly persona. Which version was the real her? Is she Katrina Madden, the vivacious rock star? Oblivion, the ruthless assassin? Is she the lonely person I'm speaking to right now? Maybe she's a culmination of all of them. I don't have time to solve the puzzle that is Katrina Madden. Patch needs me. In a split second, I grabbed the gun between us and aimed it squarely at her forehead.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72E5djnSl0
"Katrina raised her hands in surrender. "Woah, woah, woah, calm down. Let's be reasonable here. There's no need to make any rash decisions. We can talk this through!"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bzJswgfSO
"I don't want to talk. I want you to take me to Patch, now." My hands shook as I fingered the trigger. I took deep breaths in an attempt to subdue my incoming panic. What was I doing? This is so unlike me. I don't hold people at gunpoint, I'm not even brave enough to go outside. I suppose desperate times call for desperate measures.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNCI6x7UlA
Katrina nodded vigorously. "Okay! Okay. I can do that for you, easy-peasy. Just don't shoot me. I haven't gotten my bulletproof steel skull enhancements yet. I can't take it!"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2U2bBRb41
My suspicions were correct. She's afraid to die. That's good. She has a weakness I can use to my advantage. As long as I'm holding this gun to her head, she'll do what I ask of her. "It's like you said, Katrina. The person with the gun decides what we do next. I say, take me to Patch!"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LkBttguOt
Katrina reluctantly nodded and turned towards the door. "It was very rude of you to turn a gun on me after I was vulnerable with you."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1pQdyBc66
"It was very rude of you to shoot my brother."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXvV6Mov4N
"Touché."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64mNb285Dh
I nudged the back of her skull with the barrel of my gun. "Less talking, more walking."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1iOPYbhuw
"Okay, okay." She obliged my request and guided me up the stairs and outside the building.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1xxHJEYTr
I gazed out at the sea for any sign of Atlas or Chase, but I couldn't spot any trace of them.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1lJD7k1DY
She meandered down the road, glancing back at me every couple of seconds to check if I'd let my guard down. Not today. Not ever.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdHCfN8tYP
We stopped outside the garbage holding facility.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajfgo5ozjy
"Here we are!" She gestured towards the dump like she was the host of a game show and the building was a car I'd just won.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2dJaJ5g1F
"You hold your hostages in the garbage facility, of all places?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNelXK2vEcu
"Yep, it's the perfect location. No one wants to spend more time here than necessary, much less poke around." Katrina unlocked the door by using a microchip in her wrist.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gyjD1UpUS
"This whole operation feels illegal and unethical."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RRFoedva4
"Oh, it is. It violates several local laws and The Geneva Convention." Katrina led me inside the facility and locked the door behind us.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcLwp4tn3R
I pinched my nose and stared at piles of garbage. "This is where Bionic Corp belongs." I didn't realize I'd said that out loud until I heard Katrina snort with laughter. "What? You're not mad at me for disrespecting your overlords?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycz1p6m13j
She chuckled. "Hell no! I hate Bionic Corp. I probably loathe Bionic Corp more than most people do because I have the inside scoop. I know things the public would riot about if they ever discovered. I only work for Bionic Corp because I was drafted, just like Atlas and Mason and a bunch of others, but no one gives a damn about poor little me. Because I'm the bad guy and everything is my fault. That's what you think about me, right?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOanEOyO7S
I didn't respond, but she took that as an answer.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqc4KSMSc0
"That's right, you think I'm the wicked villainess who's out to steal your firstborn child and make a coat out of puppies. That's how everyone sees me. No one seems to care that I've killed fewer people than Curseword or Vindicator. No one pays any mind to the fact that I was an orphan just like you because I'm Oblivion, and I'm the villain in your narrative!"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Gs48Vtb9
"Maybe everyone thinks you're the villain because
you are one."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkALA368fB
"I knew you couldn't understand. You've always had it easy."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9fAx2pksw
I clenched my fists. It took everything in me to restrain myself from punching her. "You think I had it easy? My life hasn't been all sunshine and roses, but I didn't become a remorseless killer like you."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd49Q1s5tf
"You don't know what it's like to be me! Your whole life, you've always had someone to take care of you. Your parents, your brother, your uncle, but me, I've been on my own since I was old enough to walk. I had to be violent to survive. I had to learn to relish it. The streets aren't a safe place for a little girl. It's kill or be killed out there. I did what I had to do to protect myself. So, no, I don't feel bad."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRyKbaBv2a
"What about all the people you killed for Bionic Corp? That wasn't self-defense."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWs10m7lRw
"I'm just following orders, Marisa. If I don't do as they say, they'll kill me and have someone else take my place. If I don't do it, someone else will."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHlDsYhrCd
I frowned. "It's still not okay."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfBG2Ad7FR
"I know, I'm not asking you to excuse my actions."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD2r0BTzUM
"Then what are you asking for?" It felt like our conversations were going in circles. She insists she's not the villain, and I put her back in her place again and again. What is she hoping to gain from all this?
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaVAMtjICL
Her voice quavered ever so slightly. "I don't know."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLI9G4P7WD
I wanted to deliver some kind of retort. I wanted to ridicule her for her lack of conviction. She hasn't seemed to care about anything at all or have any sort of self-awareness. Something held me back from speaking my mind. Maybe it was how sad and pitiful she looked at the moment.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7cQZeEG6n
After her brief moment of indecision, she began groping the back wall, rubbing her hands up and down, and applying pressure.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ArdSkGGX4
I shot her a puzzled look. "What the hell are you doing?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6wNafM2lz
"I know there's a secret passageway around here somewhere. That's where they're keeping Patch."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVsdbZlyEx
"You don't know where the secret passage is?" I said, incredulous. "Don't you work here?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xC6P15QPR
"I don't usually slum it with the prisoners, okay?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57gDSDAfaA
I rolled my eyes and began feeling the wall beside Katrina.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS8pKbE2lN
"It won't open for you, silly. You need a microchip to get in."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenGWCvc8i0
Great. How convenient.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fqA4zjUfy
A small security bot whirred past us.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9YkEApTqt
"Hey! You! Where'd the secret passage go? Did you guys move it while I was out?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQgy5kooAh
He scanned her body from head to toe, then spoke. "Hello, Cyborg 11120189141 Call sign: Oblivion." He extended his little robot arm towards the opposite wall. "You're on the wrong side, miss. The passage to the holding cells is that way."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9poJZtkAO
Katrina rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Whoops."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsUcvCFuFZ
The robot scanned me next. "Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert! This person is not authorized to enter this establishment. Intruder Alert!"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCqNk3R3qS
I fired two shots directly into the robot's circuit board.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgnyQhyq7t
Katrina shot me an approving smirk. "Thank you. I can't stand those little things. They're so annoying, and they're always in my way. I'm constantly tripping over them."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WeXwgywhL
"Bionic Corp's top assassin gets foiled by a bunch of tiny security bots?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IRlT28Edc
"Hey, I'm a busy woman. I don't have time to look where I'm going."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26aIzbqZZC
I waltzed over to the back wall and motioned for Katrina to follow me. She did as she was told and joined me on the other side of the room. She moved her hand up and down, left and right, until she finally located the hidden scanner and the passage opened up.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvuYJKwXgT
We trudged down the long, darkened corridor until we reached a fork in the path.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8XRe7Nop1
"Which way do we go?" I asked.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OAkSypBEt
"Hold on, I'm thinking."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHRC39HDFA
"I can't believe you don't know."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3xXQN2J2x
"It's like I already said, I don't come here often."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vV1SMYVTe
"Halt!" A cyborg dressed in a Bionic Corp security uniform charged toward us with a rifle in hand. "Drop your weapons and identify yourselves."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNUHBOcL87
Before I had time to comply, he noticed Katrina and froze. "Oblivion, is that you?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4HZx8pQbq
Katrina gave a dainty little wave. "Hi, Jordan."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiJOHYutMb
He poked her with the barrel of his rifle. A look of genuine surprise flashed across his face when his hand didn't phase through her. "How nice of you to actually show up to work for once."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzDwJQQApM
"Today is a special day, so I've decided to grace you all with my presence."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarxRIdPSFj
Jordan played along with her antics. "What did we do to deserve such an honor?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgBJxFZrpo
"I'm here on super important assassin business. I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." She winked at him.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUCMPTQ1YR
He didn't look amused. He haphazardly pointed his rifle towards me. "Who the hell is that?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27dTNWvkwD
Katrina waved her hand dismissively. "Oh, her?" Katrina glanced at me like she'd never seen me before. "She's from the tech department. She's helping me out with some stuff."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwyfvVdpbt
"Well, I'm going to need to scan your IDs. The whole place is on high alert. There was word of an intruder."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwbWXdNiws
"That was me. Whoopsie. One of the security bots malfunctioned while it was scanning me. You know how stupid those little things can be. I don't know why we keep them around." Katrina nudged me in the side, signaling for me to play along.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t71udCejs
"Um, yes. That is definitely what happened. Those dumb little robots were at it again."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC4DVlRg8g
"That is the most obvious lie I've ever heard. Care to tell me what's really going on, Katrina?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7P0R1EVhF
"Listen, I'm going to cut to the chase, I need to release one of the prisoners."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39NdVb2dK4
He folded his arms across his chest. "No."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcRgw5SpbQ
Katrina pursed her lips into a pout, clearly unhappy with hearing the word no. "Come on, Jordan. Help me out. Are we not friends?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cuvlXewa5
"First, I don't have friends anymore, I have colleagues. Second, I can't just defy orders. I'm not you. I can't just do whatever I want with little to no consequences."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf6nm3f32f
"Why does everyone keep talking about the consequences of my actions, all of a sudden? I've never had any before."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqAO0fxpCP
"That's my point, Katrina. Ever since you got promoted to top assassin, you've been able to get away with whatever you want. I don't have that privilege. Bionic Corp is willing to give you extra leniency because of your position, but if you keep slacking off, they're going to take you out and replace you. You hear me?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXDDVl9YLU
Katrina glanced down and twiddled her thumbs. "That's why I'm here. She gestured towards me. "This little pain in my ass right here won't help me unless I bust her uncle out of captivity. She's even pulled a gun on me, if you haven't noticed. So, I could really use a favor."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN4na7reOY
He shook his head vehemently. "No. No way. I can't be involved in this. They'll torture me and strip me for parts!"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW006dRA6r
"Only if you get caught."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTsbyOTTMw
"What's going to happen after you die?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIUKKaV53i
"Pfffft. I'm not gonna die. Nothing can kill me, I'm too awesome.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4znxoT4Lk
Jordan shook his head disapprovingly. "This is serious. Everyone dies at some point. What's going to happen when you die, and you're the only one who knows the code? Assassinations will be drastically harder to pull off."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lkUQPEpMr
"Is that such a bad thing?" I muttered.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB2vssUWZm
He pursed his lips in thought for several moments, then said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFVqc63ZK3
"Okay, then." In the blink of an eye, she unsheathed a dagger and sliced open his hand. She extracted his bloody microchip. "If Bionic Corp asks, tell them I forced you to help. Thanks, Jordan!" Katrina grabbed my wrist and dragged me down the shadowed hallway.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS8BGpF6hW
"You're not welcome!" He shouted after us but decided not to chase us down.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq0cDWhGtB
I was grateful, I didn't think I could outrun him.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ4Svph3hL
We stopped outside a large steel door. "Is this where you're keeping Patch?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LSUnmy9Jp
"I think so. This cell either belongs to him or Chainsaw Pete. He's this crazed cyborg serial killer with chainsaws for arms. Why don't you go inside and check?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqz444KB7O
I shot her an incredulous look. "Are you just trying to scare me?"
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsOoL8VhPO
She grinned like the Cheshire Cat. "Maybe I am. Maybe I'm not."
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3hUNBHm4l
Katrina handed me Jordan's microchip, and I scanned the keypad with it. I took several deep breaths and hesitantly slid open the door.
