Chapter 6 - The Burner Phone
The whiskey burned my throat as I stared at the signature.
Damian looked like a man whose entire world had just collapsed.
His father was known as the most ruthless businessman in the state.
He asked me if I had ever met the man.
I swore I had never seen him in my life.
Damian grabbed a burner phone from the emergency supply kit.
He dialed a number he clearly knew by heart.
The phone rang three times before a raspy voice answered.

He said my genetic markers were perfectly matched for their family legacy.
Damian screamed into the phone and demanded to know why they tortured me.
His father simply sighed.
He said Leah was merely the first successful subject.
