Gunfire! And so close! That sounded like the very floor they were on! Temmins stepped back from the prisoner and listened at the door. The gunfire stopped. Could that really mean they had an intruder? Someone foolish enough to attempt a jailbreak?

Or perhaps an escapee? Temmins looked back at the man on the metal table. His naked body was damaged but still strong, and Temmins remembered this man’s own attempt at escape only a couple short weeks ago.

For the first time, Temmins wondered who this man really was. What was his mystery?

Then another short burst of gunfire.
