Chapter 4 - Specimen 607

[Somewhere outside of Japan]

"Ms. Eva, I'm so glad you could make it." Daichi Sato, a biochemist and medicine researcher greeted a woman dressed in full black. She was blonde and had her hair strictly up in a ponytail.

"Mr. Sato, I hope that you have met the hosts expectations this year." Ms. Eva smiled as she warmly greeted him back.

Daichi then pointed out his hands gesturing for Ms. Eva to walk in said direction with him. He then began to speak, "I believe that this year we will be one step closer to achieving the goal."

The two walked down a long hallway passing a series of doors. Behind a few doors where the screams of someone in immense pain. Behind others the vicious growls. They soon stopped in front of a door with the words 'View Room' which was faded yet readable.

Daichi Sato then opened the door and led Ms. Eva into the dark room where he positioned her in the front of a thick one sided glass. Closing the door behind him he then continued, "Through countless test subjects, we were finally able to acquire some very satisfying results."

Before he continued he then handed Ms. Eva a folder with information about the project.

"Specimen 607 has not only lasted 48 hours longer than the others but it also shows signs of understandment. I believe that after a few more dosages, we will be able to reach the final stage in our research."

Ms. Eva then closed the folder and sternly answered, "I understand what you're saying Mr. Sato, but where I'm from, seeing is believing."

Daichi then took the folder from Ms. Eva and placed in on the counter before him saying, "Of course Ms. Eva." Understanding that Ms. Eva was not interested in his theories he then lowered his head into the microphone that was below him and ordered, "Prepare for the 3rd dosage."

As he said this, a bright light illuminated the room behind the glass revealing a room which seemed like an operation room. Once the lights came on, two men dressed in black scrubs walked in. One was rather tall and although a mask was on his face, you could see a slash leading up to his right eye. The other was short and seemed clumsy. He came in behind the tall doctor pushing a crash cart which held multiple surgical tools on it.

The tall doctor then took a needle off of the cart and carefully filled it with a black glossy liquid from a bottle. When he was done, the short doctor then yanked the white covering off of the surgical table revealing an abnormal being laying on the table. It's skin seemed as it has been rotting, some parts were black, and some were green in color, while other parts there were huge gashes and gouges where it seemed that the skin has fallen off leaving only the blood coated flesh. It had a pale looking face which was splattered with blood from the rotten flesh of his wounds and a messy black hair. Though the remains of spectacles can be seen melted to the skin around the eyes, nose and side of the head, It was as if it's face was nothing more than a featureless mass.

It had a wide-open mouth, a crooked, big, yellow set of teeth, a freshly open wound on his nose that shows off his red flesh, intense looking eyes with a small black dot on its center.

Ms. Eva then walked up closer to the glass as she astonishingly admired the wailing creature. The tall doctor then looked at the glass waiting for instructions from Daichi, who then lowered his head once more as he spoke into the microphone again, "Proceed."

Hearing this the doctor steadied his hand over the creature's blood spotted hand. Without hesitation he then injected the needle into the creature and squeezed the serum into its bloodstream.

When the process was complete the creature began to squirm and wail as if it's entire body was being ripped apart limb by limb. For an entire period of 10 minutes the entire room and hallway was filled with the harrowed shrieks of this creature, after which was then followed by a uneasy silence.

Daichi Sato, along with Ms. Eva and the two doctors all watched as the lifeless creature lied there. Daichi then sighed as he spoke into the microphone once more, "Specimen 607, Failure."

Hearing this Ms. Eva's face which was just gleaming with curiosity, became taken over by a disappointed expression. They then watched as the two doctors then unbuckled the ties around the creature's hand and feet and began to gather the utensils again. However, to their shock as they turned their backs, the creature that they thought was dead, then shot up from the table and snatched the short doctor, pulling his neck between its teeth and biting down. The doctor screamed in pain as blood splatted onto the glass in front of Ms. Eva.

Soon, the cries of the doctor was no more. Seeing what was happening , the tall doctor began to panic and decided to make a run for it, but on his way to the door, he bumped into the cart which landed on the floor with a loud crash.

The creature who was not paying any attention before, dropped the short doctor's dead body onto the ground and began to make it's way to the the tall doctor. Terrified, the doctor ran towards the glass and began banging on it as he screamed and cried, "Sir....Sir...Help me...HELP ME!"

The noise however, only seemed to agitate the creature more for it quickly rushed towards the tall doctor and in a swift sunk its teeth into the shoulder of the doctor then ripped his flesh off. Blood sprayed all over the glass and onto the walls of the room. The creature then took another bite at the same spot again, and with his last breath the doctor cried, "Help...me."

The body of the doctor slid onto the floor and the creature began to feast on the body of the two doctors. Daichi Sato watched in terror at the bloodied creature and also at the room that was once white, which was now in a pool of blood.

Thinking it was over, Daichi shaking walked towards the glass, but was frightened and fell back on the ground when the creature slammed it's hand against the glass.

He then turned to Ms. Eva who was pleasantly smiling at the creature feasting on the dead bodies. "Why are you smiling?" He then questioned.

"Why? Because it's perfect." Ms. Eva then laughed.

Seeing this a glacial feling fell upon Daichi Sato. He then forced his trembling knees to lift himself off the ground and began to speak out, "Perfect? That thing is a monster. Didn't you see what it just did. I'm going to make a call. That thing needs to be put down this very instant."

Daichi then begun to storm towards the door but before he could reach it he heard the sound of a gunshot and then after a striking pain near his abdomen. He fell onto the ground and began to cry in pain.

As he kept bawling on the ground, Ms. Eva began to slowly walk up to him. When she arrived near him she used her foot to roll him on his back.

Daichi the coughed, and as he did so you could hear the blood gargling from his froth-corrupted lungs, which then began to run down out his mouth down the side of his cheeks. Ms. Eva looked at him with an intense and cold look in her eyes as she said, "You've done a excellent job Mr. Sato, but your work is done here. You're no longer needed."

With this she pointed the gun to the center of Daichi's head and pulled the trigger, killing him off.

For a moment she watched as the blood started to spread around Daichi's body then took one last look at the creature behind the glass before walking out of the room. As she entered the hallway she then took out her phone and dialed a number, then held the phone to her ears waiting for the person to answer. The moment he did, she then said in a serious tone, "Specimen 607 was a success."

After saying this, she hung up the phone and fiercely threw it into the wall smashing it. With the gun in one hand she then continued walking down the narrow hallway, and disappeared around the corner at the end.
