I scanned the data pad that Spati had handed me, my jaw dropping as I saw the reports of surgeries, tests and the results of experiments that had been run on Skylar.

I handed it back to Spati when I finished, feeling a bit nauseated. Sure, I could fight--even kill, but this was just twisted. Of course, I now had a better idea of what Skylar's abilities were, and why his aura was so dark, but seeing the exactness of Leon's record-keeping was just disturbing.

"I'm going to need to find a place for him to stay until we can get rid of Leon, aren't I?" I asked quietly, hoping that Leon wasn't monitoring the kitchen at the moment.
