I put blindfold back on and shove the material back into his mouth and secure it down with some new tape. Jolie skips from the room, clearly in a good mood, and I hit play on the old MP3 player on my way out and shut the door behind myself.
“What are you going to do with him?” Jolie asks.
“Harvest his organs. There are buyers for it on the blackmarket.”
“Do you even need the money?” she questions as we hit the top of the stairs and walk towards the living room.
“No, but the girls that we save will need the money to start fresh. What a full cycle that will be.”
She laughs, the melodic sound carrying through the hall. Entering the living room, we see the others draped over the couches. Jolie takes a seat next to Kai; he lays down, placing his head in her lap and she runs her fingers through his hair.
“Well I'm out. I'll see you at school.” Colt says, jumping to his feet. I wait for a smart ass comment from him but he must realise that no one is in the mood. Jolie waves and he waltzes from the room.
“So, I've decided that I’m going to forgive you,” she announces to the quiet room. We all turn and look at her waiting for the but.
“Is there a catch?” Kai asks, gazing up at her like she’s his world.
She sighs. “No, I just realised after today that you really had no control, especially if that is what happens when you disobey an order.”
“Today was child’s play in comparison to what happens when a team really fucks up, Jolie. This was just a warning for us that there is no excuse, and using you as one will not be tolerated,” Brennan adds.
I don’t believe her, she is up to something, she has to be. Seeing me be electrocuted wouldn’t have made her change her mind that easily. She wants us on her side, but Tenshi, two can play at that game.
“Let’s just focus our energy on bringing the man down. We can all agree that we want him gone and I want to meet his brother. I don’t want to replace evil with evil. It makes no sense.”
“Jolie, what they do at Olympia wasn’t created for a good purpose,” Kai adds.
“I figured as much, but after our little mission it has me thinking. If Olympia was restructured it could be used for good, not just for those who have pockets of cash. Martin is a bad man and clearly the cops haven't been able to catch him. Is creating humans to have superhuman abilities wrong? Possibly, but imagine how much good could come from it.”
Chester laughs. “Such an angel that you still want to see the good in monsters. We were created to be killers.”
“I think you were trained to be killers, but also that you were created to be able to beat them at their own game. You’re stronger, faster, smarter than any normal human. I’m surprised that the government hasn’t tried to take over and create an unstoppable army.”
“They probably have, but let’s all go and shower and get a few hours of sleep.” Brennan says, standing from where he is seated. He still looks worn out, the exhaustion he must be feeling bringing him down. One by one, everyone else gets up. I lock eyes with Jolie.
“Wanna help me feed the snakes?” Her nose screws up at the thought. “I have dead rats. Laughn told me about your issues with live food after you took one on as a pet.”
Her and that damn rat. I hear her talk to it a lot, especially at night when she takes it out of its cage. I won’t tell her that there is a shed out the back where my brother was breeding them as food. I pre-killed and froze some in case she insisted on making sure they're fed and she wanted to watch.
“I think I will pass. I need to shower. I can’t get the smell of urine out of my nose.”
I nod my head. Maybe since they're hungry I can take them downstairs for a little visit with my friend tied up in the morgue.
I take the stairs two at a time and let myself into Laughn’s room. He has a nice collection of venomous snakes. I take his large ass tongs, opening the cage for the tiger snake. It really is a beautiful snake, but one bite and it will cause pain in the hands, feet and neck, tingling, numbness, sweating, followed by breathing difficulties and paralysis. The venom also damages the blood and muscles leading to renal failure. I know I was going to donate his organs to raise money for the girls but fuck it, I will donate the cash myself since this will be way more fun and is a legitimate way to die for his autopsy report. “Let’s go little buddy and make this man snake food. I hope you’re feeling extra bitey today.”

Jolie
It’s been over a week since our mission and me breaking the guys out of Olympia. I expected Mr. Z to contact me but he still hasn’t. He did give me the go ahead to try and break them out even though he clearly didn’t think that I could, so the fact that I did is on him. The guys also have been reluctant to believe that I could so easily forgive them and they’re right. I can’t fully forgive what they did, but I can understand it. The things that he does to them are vile. Watching Creed strapped to that chair and electrocuted was painful just to observe. He isn’t immune to pain like Laughn was. I can understand wanting to test their abilities but plain out torturing them is wrong.
“Are you ready?” Trace asks, popping his head into my room. We have training today, and unlike the other savages, Trace lets me have lots of coffee first.
“Yep.” I say, gazing into the mirror and looking at myself in my Olympia uniform. Everyone admitted through the gate has to be wearing them. The Olympia logo is sewn on the front with G.O.D.S underneath.
I grab my sports bag and head downstairs, stopping in the kitchen to fill up my drink bottle. Trace and I haven’t had much of a chance to talk, but it needs to happen today.
Trace patiently waits, also dressed in his uniform and combat boots with his sports bag slung over his shoulder. Once I’m done, we both head out to his car.
