Back on the surface, Leonard and the other elderly captives hurried out of the elevator and rushed toward the exit. The moment they stepped out of the derelict building, several cars screeched to a halt in front of them, blocking their path.
Leonard pulled the others back several paces, his heart sinking.
A dozen men in black tactical gear stepped out of the vehicles. Finally, George emerged slowly from the lead car.
He fixed a frigid stare on Leonard. “Mr. Leonard, and gentlemen… where exactly do you think you’re going?”
Leonard met his gaze with sharp defiance. “George, stop this madness. I’m warning you, release us immediately. Instead of wasting your time circling us like a vulture, you should be looking at what’s left of your research base. If you don’t act now, it will be lost forever.”

If you had stayed inside, you might have lived a little longer, but you chose to run. You’ve essentially walked into your own graves.” He turned to his men. “Seize them.”
“Don’t you dare!” a voice rang out, sharp and commanding.
Two women emerged from around the corner of the building.
