Chapter 59: Shepard's Reveal

"I knew that you would come for me… Once that bitch was out of the picture."

Matt was confused about the situation. He couldn't see clearly but could sense the cyborg approaching him. He wasn't sure why, but the sense of familiarity increased steadily. Before the cyborg entered his view, a large monitor lit up at the top of the room. When Matt turned up to look, he saw a sight which made his blood boil.

Alexis was tied up lying on a medical table. Her chest was exposed and surgical lines were drawn over her sternum. There was a tray with some sort of device with a long wire. Suddenly, a doctor entered the frame wearing surgical gowns and gloves. An attendant came into the scene from the other side holding a tray of surgical instruments. Matt thought they figured out she had the parasite, but the details didn't match.
