freaks like me anymore.” “Granted, we’re not building soldiers like you now, but

I strongly feel that we should. And you will help me to make others see that.”

“I went out of control. I murdered people.” “That was unfortunate. But every

grand vision has sacrifice.” “Those women? I was murdering you over and over.

Because I couldn’t get to you.” “I’m well aware that the killings were symbolic.

But those women were all doing their jobs, Paul. We lost a lot of talent. I was

very disappointed that you did that.” “You were disappointed!” he screamed. “You

made me a fucking killing machine!” She put a calming hand on his shoulder.

“You’re right. It wasn’t your fault. It was an error on our part. But we were in

brand-new territory. That comes with risk. Look at the science of flight. Do you

know how many pilots died so that we can now safely travel from one side of the

world to the other in a matter of hours?” She paused. “But now, with you back in

the fold, we can find out where we went wrong. If we find the right answers and

make the required adjustments, then we can restart the program and do this the

right way. You know, for the longest time I thought you were dead. And then to

find you in prison, well, it held a lot of potential. We just had to get you out

of there.” “I was paroled. I got me out.” “Well, that’s not exactly how it

happened. Your first two parole hearings did not go well, as I understand it.

But we pulled a few strings and made sure the third time did the trick.” He

stared over at her. “We really wanted you back, Paul. But then we lost track of

you.

 

After you escaped you must have gone underground. And it’s not like we had the

resources back then that we have today to find you.
