The Bait

Continuing from: [link]

Amanda: "I know who you are! You were dad's assistant!"

Torwell: "His PARTNER! Dr Torwell, at your service, dear girl."

Amanda: "Partner in crime you mean. I know what you two did. The genetic experiments, the mutilations, the deaths. Why come here in Angel Falls? Why break into this lab and kill Cynthia, is this yet another sick experiment?"

Torwell: "Hahaha, you don't get it? You're the reason I'm here. You were your dad's greatest experiment. The implants he gave you grant you amazing abilities. And what did you do? You spat in his face, turned him in as a common criminal. Now, I'm here to let you know you cannot escape your fate. I'm here to finish his greatest work!"

Amanda: "My father paid for his crimes. Now, it's time for you to pay. For all the evils you caused in the past, and for the death you caused here."

Amanda rushed out of the building toward the man, who quickly turned around and started running, as several armed men came out from hiding behind dumpsters and crates spread around the dark alley.

As each guard came up toward Amanda, she was forced to defend herself, firing several fast shots, easily overcoming their defenses. Her improved vision and movement speed allowed her to agilely avoid blows and gun shots, while allowing her to fire at the most useful moments.

However, this fighting slowed her down. All she wanted is to reach this man who had somehow tracked her down and seemed decided to make her life difficult, but the large number of handymen allowed Torwell to gain in distance.

After killing several of his men, Amanda saw Torwell turn into a side alley devoid of potential hiding places, and it seemed like she would finally be able to get her man. But just as she was killing the last standing mercenary, two vans pulled up and even more men got out, and rushed her.

After 20, perhaps 30 kills, the fight was taking its toll on Amanda. She was getting tired, and started making mistakes. A punch got in, then a kick, and pretty soon she was getting overwhelmed. That's when Torwell stopped running and looked at her.

Torwell: "You little pest! You decimated most of my men. But now I have you. Now you realize that you will never escape me."

Amanda opened her mouth to yell back, but felt a strong hit on the back of her head as one of the handymen now surrounding her knocked her out with the handle of his gun. As she fell face first on the dirty concrete floor, the last thing she saw before losing consciousness was Torwell slowly walking back toward her, smiling.
