Chapter 219

Doing experiments in a place like this was ironic, but it was a huge boost for Quinlyn. Edward, and the whole team.

Quinlyn said, “Sawyer, I’ll pick someone to get us outta here as soon as possible. Can you let the other elders know?”

“Sure thing, leave it to me, Sawyer replied, his face lighting up and even his wrinkles smoothing out a bit.

Quinlyn walked out of the lab, heading back to her floor. But as soon as the elevator doors opened, white smoke poured in– it was sleep gas.

She covered her mouth and nose and tried to back out and close the doors, but the elevator was frozen. It was hacked.

The whole space was filled with the gas, and it was super strong–even an elephant wouldn’t stand a chance. In no time, Quinlyn slumped to the floor and passed out.

When she opened her eyes again, she was in a glass room. She was lying on a wooden plank, holding a gun, and the whole thing was shaking.

“Quinlyn, be careful…” Xena’s voice came from nearby.

Quinlyn’s body was still weak, but she turned her head and saw Xena on the other end of the plank. And below them was empty air.

Quinlyn thought, Thank goodness she’s okay. She took a deep breath and felt some strength returning to her fingers. “Xena, where are we?”

Xena’s voice choked up. “We’re in the game room. Someone stole your experimental data, took your work, and triggered the Hunter’s Mechanism.”

“Hunter’s Mechanism?” Quinlyn had never heard of it before.

Xena explained, “Yeah. The person who found you, reported you to the island, and brought you here to work–that’s the Hunter. Once you’ve fulfilled your worth, they get to decide what happens to you. And now they’ve thrown you in here.”

Quinlyn glanced over at where Xena was staring and followed her gaze. She saw Warren.

Warren looked much thinner than the last time they met and his face was pale, probably because he was injured.
