"Can I help you?" she drawled.
The nurse snorted. "You're not on the list."
Rachel pushed open the door, and a musty smell wafted out. The room was small, with walls covered in rusty medical equipment and a single, barred window. A figure sat on a narrow bed, shrouded in shadows.
As Rachel listened in horror, Maya revealed the truth about the Lupus Detention House. It was a front, a cover for inhumane experiments designed to create a new breed of super-soldiers. The patients were test subjects, infected with a mysterious virus that amplified their aggression and strength.
As Rachel approached, the figure slowly stood up, its eyes glowing with an unnatural hunger. Rachel gasped as the patient stepped into the faint light.
"Welcome," the woman said in a low, husky voice. "I've been waiting."
The nurse who had escorted Rachel was in on it, as were the doctors. They were all part of a conspiracy to create an army of mindless, lupine creatures, driven solely by their basest instincts.
