Adina hugged Duke tightly. “It’s so cold,” she mumbled. Duke carried her to another room, next to the master bedroom. He put her down on the bed.” Addy,” he said in surprise. “You aren’t…”
He realized Addy remembered everything. This time, she wasn’t violent and hysterical. She did not try to break free from him like she usually did when this happened.
“Duke, I remember what just happened.” Adina was also startled. “A man’s voice rang in my mind and ordered me to smash the French windows. It used to be a robotic female voice. But
this time, it was a man’s. The voice sounded familiar.”
Duke frowned. He had read many reports on biochips and had a thorough understanding by now. The program of the chip had a function that let the robot send out orders. But this time, it was a man’s voice, which meant it wasn’t a robot giving the order. It was a person.
‘Isabelle is dead. Who else could it be?’ wondered Duke.
Buzz!
Right then, Duke’s phone vibrated. He glanced at the caller ID. It was Blake. “Boss, Earl Winters wants to talk to you.”
Duke’s expression turned icy. He glanced at Adina. “Put him on.”
“My dear brother, I thought you wouldn’t talk to me.” Earl sounded lazy and smug. “Let me guess what you are doing right now. Hm. You should be snuggling with Adina right about now. Am I right?’
Duke narrowed his eyes. “If you have nothing important to say, I’ll hang up.”
“What’s the rush?” Earl chuckled. “Let me continue to guess what the two of you were doing just now. Was Adina standing by the window and smashing it?”
Duke stood up suddenly. Adina looked at him. Although she could not hear it clearly, she understood it was Earl trying to rile him up. She pursed her lips and walked to Duke. She put her ear close to the phone so she could listen to the conversation.
“My dear brother, do you think I don’t know anything just because I am locked in this basement?” Earl laughed. “As long as I live, I will never let you two live in peace. Adina, I guess you must be listening, too. Listen, you tricked me. I’ll make you pay a thousand times for that!”
After that, he hung up the phone. Duke clutched at the phone, enraged. Adina took his hands in hers. His anger abated a little.
“Duke, the voice in my head was Earl. I can remember clearly now,” Adina said slowly, “He must have learned that I was implanted with a biochip, which happened to be his company’s
product. He got the server data, and he has been giving me orders. I don’t know what will happen to me next.”
Duke held her hands. “If he can give the orders, it means he has a carrier. I’ll ask Blake to find
Recognition dawned in Adina’s eyes. ‘How can I be so stupid?’ She had completely forgotten that one needed a carrier to give orders. If the carrier was destroyed, he could not torture her anymore.
That would give them time to find the server and destroy the program as well.
