didn’t know if the gun was fully loaded or not.

 

The test was to demonstrate whether the emotion of fear had been fully

eradicated from his brain.

 

He was strapped into a chair with wires and electrodes measuring every part of

his mental activity, including all emotional points.

 

He had endured five minutes and five trigger pulls of the six-shot weapon, three

of them rapid-fire.

 

No bullet had erupted from the barrel. Otherwise he would not be here.

 

And he had never once flinched.

 

After the test was successfully concluded, he had been released.

 

Jericho had handed him the gun. He had aimed it at a dummy target and pulled the

trigger.

 

The bullet blasted a hole in the dummy’s head.

 

Part of him believed that Jericho knew exactly how many bullets were in the gun

and had no intention of killing her prized creation.
