retrieve the sample but
that seemed so inhumane. Maybe she could talk him into helping her
get the sample. The sperm banks had men masturbate to fill their
cups.
    That is, if he did those kinds of thing. Even
a beast like him had to have sexual needs and he was alone. His
hand was probably the best company. Imagining him stroking his
sexual member made her hot and uncomfortable.
    She grimaced and plunked a box of tissues,
wet wipes, and a cup to collect it in her toolbox. She slammed it
closed with a thud and locked it. “Here’s to hoping he’ll be
cooperative.”
    The guard at the door grinned. Steven was his
name, she recalled. “Oh, I think he’ll cooperate all right. That
boy likes you. You’re the only one he doesn’t growl at when you
come in the room. I think he secretly wants to fuck you.”
    She shivered.
    “I told him that I knew what he wanted and he
tried to take my head off.”
    Those words brought an unexpected weakness to
her body. The attraction she felt for 216 was strong. It had been
from the very first day she laid eyes on him in his cell. However
it wasn’t something she wanted anyone else to know. The other
employees may feel differently about the research and testing going
on here, but these were still people. They had as much human in
them as the she did and they deserved basic human rights and
compassion just like she did.
    She hated the guard mocked 216 for liking her
at all. What was wrong with being nice to each other? Was it wrong
to think of them as something more than animals? The guard thought
so, as did most of her fellow workers.
    Being sympathetic put her at a disadvantage.
She couldn’t let anyone know she felt the way she did, or they may
suspect her of helping the test subjects. If she looked weak, or
sympathetic she may not make it out of the underground facility one
day. Things happened to people who couldn’t follow orders or
threatened to share secrets. People disappeared. She heard the
gossip, and she believed it. If they could cover up the atrocities
which are happening down here, they wouldn’t bat an eyelash at
    She rolled her eyes and stood up, scooting
the chair across the stone floor with a screeching noise. “This has
got to be a mistake. Have you seen Doctor Lee? I need to double
check his orders.”
    The guard smile was cold and hard as he said,
“He’s in his office.”
    She turned away and walked down the hall. Her
heart was in her throat. She looked up at the security monitors and
waved. This place was always being monitored. Every action of hers
was studied. Every word recorded. She hated it, but as long as she
kept to herself, she managed to survive from day to day.
    In her heart, she knew the orders were
probably accurate. They treated the test subjects like animals,
with no rights, as if they had no emotions, and no feelings. They
gave them pain and watched them endure horrible tests. They poked
and prodded them, using the results for case studies and justified
it by developing chemicals, and medicine for the army and for sale
to the general public, but it wasn’t worth the hell these poor
creatures had to endure. There was still a part of them that were
intelligent even if they looked like animals on the outside. They
could speak, and had the ability to reason. That must be why it
felt so wrong. If Trax justified using them the way they did, what
was to stop them from caging her and using her to experiment on?
They had no right to hurt these creatures, but as long as no one
was the wiser, the company Trax never got in trouble and their
experiments would never get shut down. They did everything to these
creatures. They treated them like lab rats. They gave them no
choices and kept them under lock and key. It was just wrong. It was
completely cruel and someday Emma hoped to put a stop to it, but
she had no idea how or when that would happen. Honestly, the risk
she would have to take scared her to her core. She could be beaten,
locked up in a cage just
