This WILL hurt

Description

The man turned his back to Benjamin again and continued with whatever he was doing, a few more loud hisses escaping the concrete basin. “You might think that I must feel some profound hatred towards your kind for treating you the way I do, but you’d be tragically mistaking. The fact is I care nothing for your fate or that of your kind. To me you are but a pestilence; rodents.” He turned his head sideways slightly and gazed back at Ben with one eye. “Or stray dogs that should be put down.”

He turned away his gaze again. “At best you make for interesting test subjects. Rats to be used in laboratory experiments. You owe your life to your somewhat unique mutation, or I wouldn’t have bothered to keep you alive at all. But you are, and since you are to remain within our custody till I decide otherwise, you hereby become property of the E.A. corporation.”

The old man stopped toiling the metal rod about, the final hisses fading. Slowly the man pulled the bar out, and with a shock the equivalent of a dive in ice water Ben realized it had not been snakes he heard hissing. Colored a steaming red, the branding iron the man now held in his gloved hand was shaped to form the two overlapping triangles Ben had seen on all the soldiers.

“I assure you, this will hurt.”
