Chapter 10 - MULTIPLEX (1/2)
MEANWHILE AT STAR LABS....
”I've found out that somehow, the cells of this man here in able to multiply rapidly and then detach themselves from the host to form an entirely new body, but of exact resemblance to the host ”Caitlin explained.
” Barry's on his way here already and by the way, you can call him 'multiplex'”, Cisco said.
”But shouldn't producing that many clones bring about large amount of strain on his own cells? ” Cisco asked.
”Yes. And my theory is that the more clones he produces, the more fatigued he'll be,” Caitlin replied.
****WHOOSH****
Barry arrives in the lab holding a smoothie in hand.
”Hi everybody, good to see you again” Barry greeted.
” Hi Barry” Caitlin said
”We've got a piece of information on 'multiplex'” Caitlin said glancing at Cisco while she stressed on 'multiplex.'
(I think it would be better to let her explain. If I reveal the fact that I already know so much, they might start growing suspicious)
” So the cells of multiplex here...
FIVE MINUTES LATER
” We know much about his abilities already, but we still don't know who he is” Cisco said.
”Let's try a facial scan” Barry suggested
”Alright ”
Caitlin got to work on the computer. Scanning the man's features and working on the computer. After a couple of minutes, a huge picture appeared on the screen.
”Huh? ”, Cisco was startled.
”Danton Black”, Caitlin said
”He sure has a lot of doc.u.ments concerning him. We wouldn't be able to finish this in the days”, Cisco said and sighed.
”Allow me”, Barry said.
Caitlin got off the chair and Barry sat down, focused his eyes on the screen and his hand on the mouse.
***click**click**click click**click**click**click**
After one minute, Barry got off the computer and exhales hard.
”Danton Black”, said Barry.
”He was a scientist. Used to work on organ cloning at Staggs Industries. He was married but his wife died like 10 months ago”, Barry explained.
” That explains why he was at Staggs honouring, but we still don't know why”, Caitlin said.
” According to what I found out, Staggs rejected his ideas and project, and later used it for his own benefit”, Barry said.
”That's not a nice thing to do.. ”Cisco said.
”Then the means his target was Staggs, he was there to kill him!!! ”,Caitlin exclaimed.
All of a sudden, the clone Barry brought earlier, suddenly opens his eyes and stand up and starts moving.
”What the f.u.c.k!”,Cisco shouted.
”I think Black's on the move”, Barry said.
”And we all know where he's headed”, Caitlin added.
”You guys restrain him, I'll go take care of Black”
With that said, he picks his suit and then.....
****WHOOSH****
( I should try to save his life this time. He died back then. He might even be useful for me) Barry thought.
He keeps moving past buildings, passing by vehicles at the speed of light until he stops at the front of a sky scr.a.p.er.
” STAGG INDUSTRIES”
He quickly enters the building, going across all the rooms until he comes face to face with a man thoroughly dressed in black.
”Black, please stop this. I know Staggs has wronged you. But it's not reason enough to go after his life. ”Barry said.
