Chapter 14
Together, Chloe and her father dragged General Sterling out of the wrecked van cabin.
They loaded his unconscious body onto a specialized motorized stretcher hidden inside her father's vehicle.
Twenty minutes later, they drove through a hidden rock entrance disguised as a natural cave system.
The heavy steel blast doors closed behind them with a loud pneumatic hiss, sealing them inside the bunker.
Bright white LED lights flickered on overhead, revealing a massive high-tech subterranean laboratory.
Row upon row of glowing supercomputer servers hummed softly, filling the vast space with ambient white noise.
Chloe sat in a clean medical chair while her father expertly stitched her leg wound with surgical precision.
"Is General Sterling going to survive?" Chloe asked, looking over at the medical bay monitor.
"He has three broken ribs and a minor concussion, but his vital signs are stable," her father assured her.
"He is a tough soldier, Chloe. He fought alongside me during the initial Cerberus trials."
Chloe looked around the glowing laboratory, her eyes taking in the complex military hardware around them.
"What exactly is Project Cerberus, Father?" Chloe asked, her tone turning dead serious.
Her father set his surgical instruments down on a tray, his expression darkening with profound gravity.
