"Might as well get out of here with a bang" Dr. Wright thought as she kept driving through the next town, her last experiment still trapped in the pocket of her lab coat. A woman of fixed routines, it was very unusual for her to drive so far away from home, but the situation itself was unusual enough. It was her first police raid, but going from conversations with her colleagues she knew exactly how would it go: The company would use their vast resources to either return or destroy the remaining evidence (including the alteration chamber) and she would just be relocated to a laboratory on another city where it would be business as usual. 


As she kept driving aimlessly and checking the map on her phone periodically for "fun" locations, Evelyn wondered what was the real reason to be driving so far away from home. Maybe she actually feared the police getting a lead on her and her unethical experiments, maybe she was just prepping herself for the headache of telling her family they would have to move. She convinced herself it would be good for everyone, Bill would stop being suspicious about her if the relocation was masked as a new job, Sarah would be going to college anyway and Ben? He could just keep playing his games wherever they went. Evelyn snickered, now focusing on the idea that she was doing this for your sake, giving you a better ending than the other 14 failed trials who never saw anything other than the laboratory once the process kicked in, who failed to survive the durability tests and ended up disposed as mere bugs, shrunk to nothingness or even as dog food.


Giving her phone another check, she finally found it, something to give her young male captive a bit of pleasure before his inevitable death. She found a parking space, changed her clothes and took the vial from the lab coat, dropping it on her purse. She got out of the car and entered in a small sleazy looking building with a neon sign advertising it as "King's castle". She got a couple of curious looks but ignored them, as far as she was concerned this even served as an alibi in the worst case scenario.  


Evelyn ordered a drink and watched the exotic dancing at display, thinking more about how far should she go with this herself than about your fate. Initially she just planned to leave you somewhere where you could enjoy the show of your lifetime before the gas made its magic, but maybe she should enjoy herself a bit too. Nobody would know and she would leave this city soon, so might as well get out of here with a bang. Dr. Wright considered her options, all of them sounded appealing in some way.
