Mutation: Parables From The Apocalypse - Dystopian Fiction - Plot & Excerpts
Chaz's radio clicked three short beeps. He had it tuned to an unused channel, the same as Alex's radio. At the moment, Alex was trailing the general on his afternoon patrol. Chaz didn't want any surprises. Every fifteen minutes Alex would send three short beeps over his radio, indicating the general was sticking to his regular routine. One long beep would let Chaz know that something had gone wrong, and he needed to get out of the general’s quarters pronto. Chaz wasn't exactly a world-class cat burglar, but he did know how to get past a few locked doors. All the doors in the facility were card coded, and some had biometric scanning. The personal quarters only had card codes. Biometrics were reserved for the more sensitive science facilities, where Christa was. During their talk this morning in the security room, Chaz had managed to switch his security card with the general's. It meant he couldn't get into his quarters for the day, but he had no intention of returning there. The general shouldn't be back to his room till after the evening meal. Chaz slipped the card through the reader, and the door popped open. Inside, the room was larger than his, but not excessively so. There wasn't a lot of space in the underground complex, and it wasn't wasted on officers' quarters. Chaz was looking for anything that could help them get to Christa. A map or blueprint of the lower science section would have been ideal, but Chaz wasn't sure what he would find. Rummaging around the general's desk didn't reveal much, and his small bookshelf didn't offer any clues. The locked filing cabinet looked promising. Chaz used the small screwdriver from his borrowed tool bag to pry open the cabinet. He found personnel files on everyone at the fort. Some were official military files, but others appeared to be the general's own personnel notes. Chaz flipped through most of them quickly, but paused when he found Dr.
