บท 121: | Mine To Kill

'You were successful, I trust?' enquired Marcy.

'I think so,' said Walker wearily. 'Combining the wolf and human genes is a highly demanding procedure. But the König Man's DNA samples don't seem to be rejecting the genetic material from the white wolves.'

Hal placed his hand on the scientist's arm. 'His body can be fully restored?'

'I believe so. With this pure wolf DNA, it should be possible, using very aggressive gene therapies, to reverse the damage to the body tissue.'

'You're certain?' hissed Marcy. 'You said the work would be complete long before now.'

'How could I have foreseen the problems we'd have to regenerate the body?' snapped Walker. 'I've never experimented on lupine tissue before.' He grew more subdued under Marcy's withering glare.

'Do as we ask and you will get the serum you crave,' said Marcy. 'Refuse and you will get nothing.'

Emotions flitted pathetically across Walker's face: hatred, desire, self-disgust.
