Samos DesJerod
Honolulu, Hawaii
As the genetic engineer headed down into the basement, the light hit the filled chalkboard enough to show it's contents. The mathematical equations filled on side of it, while the other was a list of different words, such as 'Radiation' or 'Teleportation.'
The man known as Samos DesJerod clicked the lights on to show the entire room, and the dumpy state it was in. It was no palace, but it had everything that was nessecary to his research. He reached down and took a clipboard, going over it's contents, and then moved to the board. Using the chalk, he crossed out the words 'Ability to live without breathing' and muttered "Another one they had to kill."
Samos turned to the television and absently clicked it on with a remote. He took a seat, peeking at the news.
Nothing useful. Just ordinary stuff.
At this rate, he figured, they would take them all. He had worked so hard so far, for so many months, and had yet to save anybody. Everyone he tried to explain the situation too didn't believe him. What had quitting his job gotten him? Nothing. Just a bad place in a ghetto in Hawaii.
He muted the boring CNN news and hit the voicemail button on his phone, mainly to pass the time. "You have...TWO...messages," the computer voice told him.
The first message then played. A male voice came on. "Mr. DesJerod, my name is Robert Fineberry from CNN News. I know you sent my last reporter away, but I'm going send you another. I trust her money offer for an interview will be to your liking. Her name is Chloe Kent. I hope you can agree to this and give her the interview we've been hoping for."
Samos rolled his eyes and clicked the button. Next message.
Another male, but this time a darker, familar, and more sinister voice. "Samos, this is Lyle. I've been patient with you, but I'm done with patience. You will give me your list, or we will take action on your family. I will not take your stalling any longer. I'll call you in 24 hours."
Samos' throat caught. That one got his attention.
