4 The Little Steps (1/2)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

jax had already handed down he's report to the filing cabinet that he was ready to start human experiments, he's batch so far had mostly started doing experiments but most were still asking for more resources. jax could not be bothered with amateurs, he had found out that Schmidt would be visiting this unit soon, in probably the next 2 to 3 weeks so he had to speed up his plans. jax so far knew that if he could meet Schmidt then he could by chance then meet Dr. Abraham Erskine the creator of the SSS, jax knew about Steve rogers transformation but he jax thought it better that he be there in person to see the transformation of Steve rogers so that he could improve the process.

jax so far got ready for the new batch of experimentees to come in

ah here they come,' said jax heartlessly as he could hear the shouting prisoners getting dragged in and strapped into arm chairs and were about to be force fed pills

”cough” erm i'm afraid that would be unnecessary,' coughed jax as he quickly took the pills of the guard and put them in a small compartment

' i am testing a truth serum on them and i'm afraid they need to be conscious while i sedate them, don't worry i have my ways with dealing with unstable people,now if you don't mind,' said jax as he pointed to the door

the guard gave him an awkward look then left

humph that was close, if he had drugged these lot i'd have waited hours for them to wake up so can start testing them with my hallucinogen

soooo its two minutes until 8 so lets begin shall we, said jax as he set the time on his brand new state of the art wrist watch

February 20th 15:26

jax had so far spent 2 weeks straight on complete this new agent, he had gone through 4 batches of patients and had was about to finish up with the last one, jax knew he did not have much time Schmidt was already on his way and none of the chemists in block C had so far even finished the production of the truth serum, this may have been the skills in the chemists themselves because last week an explosion occurred in one of the chemists rooms and he ended up dying. Zola therefore began to put up daily inspections of the labs and this affected jax's privacy which he he most loved, jax knew this was a threat but he had to make do he had so far become quite friendly with his guard, but jax began to focus on the topic at hand he needed to end this final examination and check on the patients results because he's life was on the line.

'whew,' said jax as he wiped the sweat from his forehead as put away his tools and began to check up on the remaining patients, out of 13 patients 3 have so far died while the other 3 have slight dementia , 5 could now be considered clinically insane however there are 2 who can be considered a perfect success

'Sebastian,' said jax as he called for the guard

'Get that nincompoop Fredric to come and clean up this mess and get these defects out of here and inform Mr Zola that it was a complete success,' said jax as he took his glasses of with a crazed smile

'right away Herr Dieter,' no sooner had the guard left, jax began to destroy any evidence of the agent he had worked on he knew that this knowledge was for his eye's only. he began to burn the papers in a white odourless solution and take out two vials and put them in a miniature brief case and place them in a compartment on the side of the desk that only he knew about.

2 minutes later Zola had made his way into the lab with 4 other guards who came to clean up the mess.

'Oh Herr Dieter i'm so happy to hear about your success so where is proof,' said Zola in a hurry as he began to wipe the sweat from his brow while he kept a fake smile on his face.

right this way, Herr Zola said jax as he lead Zola towards a door and went into another room that held two racks of test tubes with truth serum labelled on it.

these are the most recent batch, just freshly made this morning and i have run tests and it is a complete success,' for the first time Zola looked quite happy and began to take the batches with him

' um Herr Zola, wouldn't it be better if i came with you seeing as you seem to be inhurry i could help you with the proof showing that i have helped you in the process of production of this serum, said jax knowingly

Zola stopped then looked at jax carefully then nodded

'fine, follow me,' said Zola hurriedly

jax was no fool, he knew Zola would steal the credit for his work, but he didn't care he was ready for that anyway and as long as he could get close to Schmidt or even Dr Abraham erskine, nothing else matters.

as he left the damp dingy confines of his lab ad met the fresh yet dreary weather outside jax was given a black coat to wear as he and Zola accompanied by two guards went up to a car that was parked outside the building two muscular men stepped out with big black umbrellas and opened the door to the car and two black boots stepped out then came out a man that at times even captain america had nightmares of, Johann Schmidt or better in the future known as known as red skull.

behind him came out Dr Abraham as he quietly stood in between the group with an of his own umbrella.

so, i see that the truth serum production has been a success yes,' said Schmidt sardonically as he began to caress the rings on his hands.

yes Herr Schmidt, i have done my best to put together this production of truth serum and we have been able to put together two racks,'

is that it?' asked Schmidt dangerously

erm my lord we are still working on the kinks of how this serumworks we ha---

'SHUT IT!' raged Schmidt as he threatened to hit Zola

Herr Schmidt please wait,' interjected jax

and who might you be,' replied Schmidt as he had yet to calm down

' my name is Herbert dieter and I am an assistant who was able to put together this truth serum production and i believe i have something to show you,'he said as he lead the group with the still silent Dr Abraham included

as the group was lead back to lab that jax originally worked in

'Herr Schmidt please ignore this fool h--'

'QUIET! you have already let me down by your failure to bring in the expected amount of products, you shall remain silent until i say so,' said Schmidt harshly as he continued into the room and through the door that once held only two racks of test tubes

once jax stepped into the room he went towards a table and took of the cloth on the table and under the table showed 40 racks of all with same labels truth serum.

good, good i like this well you have been useful,' said Schmidt as he pulled out a gun and got ready to fire at jax

'wa- wait i did everything i was told,' replied jax as he began to put on the best act of his life

yes but you leave this country soon and i can't have you making this for the enemy,' replied Schmidt as he cocked the gun

WAIT!' shouted Abraham as he interjected
