Chapter 21: Close Call
Akio had never worn a dress in his life. Right now, he was in the bathroom with Naomi,  was staring at a red, form-hugging, somewhat low cut red dress that hung on the back of the door. It would be on his body in less than an hour.“I don’t like this plan,” said Akio firmly.“Well, isn’t that a shame?” Naomi handed him a can of shaving cream and a razor. “Go shave.”He held the can in one hand and the razor in the other. They were both pink. “I already shaved, today.”“Not your face .”Akio dropped his arms to his sides. “No way.”“Yep,” said Naomi. “I can’t find my leggings, so your legs are going to be showing in this dress. Take off your pants.”“But-”“ Take them off ,

Chapter 22: Frank Conversations
Akio had changed out of his dress, into a t-shirt and jeans, and had put his glasses back on his nose. He’d left the makeup on. He actually kind of liked it. Levitan had changed into a different pair of pants and had thrown the first pair out the window, never to be seen again.Five of them sat at the kitchen table, having a quick conference about what had happened, to discuss plans and debrief. Akio had attempted to sit next to Levitan, but before he could, Ryan had shoved his chair between them and plopped down, giving him a death glare as he did so.Naomi had listened patiently while they all discussed the events of the day. When it came to the part where Levitan had kissed Akio, she held out her hand and Ryan deposited another five dollars with a dramatic groan.“ Seriously? ” asked Akio. “Have you nothing better to do?”

Chapter 23: Time to Go
Levitan woke up warm. They rubbed their eyes with their fingers and groaned, stretching their shoulders.There was a small, sleepy sigh from next to them and they looked down. Akio was still nestled up to them, tucked protectively under their arm. He had one hand resting on their stomach under the covers, and his hair was messy and stuck up on one side.Levitan chuckled and relaxed back into the blankets. They had no idea what time it was, but they decided that for just a few minutes, they didn’t care.Akio yawned and shuffled. He opened his eyes and looked up at them. “G’morning.”“Morning,” they said. “How’d you manage to hang on like that?”“Like what?”They yawned a little and scratched an itch on their collar. “Like an octopus. I toss n’ turn all night, usually.”“I think I woke up once,” he said, shifting so he was next to them proper

Chapter 24: They're Coming
Akio’s knees were shaking. He gripped the baseball bat in two sweaty hands as he followed behind Levitan. The four of them walked in silence through the dark alleyway. They were getting close to Monsoon.He kept his mouth shut because he was afraid that if he opened it, he would throw up. He was so close to Levitan, his face was inches from their back. This meant that he bumped right into them when they stopped abruptly.“Y’all ready?” they asked, looking back at the three of them over their shoulder.James and Hawke both nodded, and Akio made a slight whimper.Levitan turned away and the four of them stepped out of the alley and onto the sidewalk. The white letters of Monsoon glowed in the darkness. Underneath, in smaller letters, it read “ For the Good of Mankind ”.Akio’s heart pounded in his chest as they walked up to the building. A million things could go wrong. They weren’t w

Chapter 25: One of Them
“ Mayday, mayday! They’re coming! ”Ryan’s voice echoed around the facility, booming and staticky. Voices boomed and shouted through the offices, and people bustled from place to place in other parts of the basement.They’d been found out.“ Shit! ” Levitan grabbed Akio’s wrist and bolted.Akio’s felt like he was going to be sick with fear. It was all he could do to listen to Levitan’s orders.There were four more doors left in the hall labelled “Mutations”. The other hallways seemed to branch off into laboratories and more offices. Akio swept the card through the first door’s reader and Levitan tore it open.The woman sitting on the bed leapt to her feet. Fluids dripped from her, running down her cheeks from her eyes, nose, and mouth. They stained her

Chapter 26: Give Them Hell
Levitan was rooted in place. They couldn’t move. They couldn’t process what they were seeing. Akio was being shoved into the white and blue van. Cold sweat poured down their back.“ Forget about me! Run! ” he yelled. His voice was distant, and the door slammed down on his words, cutting them short.That snapped them out of it. Levitan’s pulse was racing. “ GET AWAY FROM HIM! ” they roared.Hands grabbed at their arms and shoulders, trying to drag them back.“Levitan, it’s too late!” said James, clutching the back of their jacket. “We have to run!”“ AKIO, I’M COMING FOR YOU! ” they screamed, dragging the people clinging to them forward with each step, even though the
