42 Po-Po Wants to Mess with the Big D Squad (2/2)
Alex: ”Something smells fishy as hell, why are they detaining people when there's a f*cking apocalypse out there?”
Jay approached the people sharing the same cell as them and in the neighboring cells. ”What's going on here? Did you get the blood test done as well?”
”We got detained right before the second wave when we were trying to drive to our cottage, the police cruisers stopped us, confiscated our stuff, did the blood tests and then we've been here ever since.”
”Yeah, same here, except we got brought in about 3 hours ago.”
”Holy f*ck, what's going to happen to all of us? When are they going to let us go?”
”Don't know man, we've been here for two days already, and they only feed us 2 meals and some water on the first day.”
”Well, I heard there were a few gang members that got into a gunfight when the cops tried to stop them by the road. Only one guy survived from that fight, and he's kept upstairs with some nurse or something.”
”Yeah, he was all bloody when they brought him in. They just threw him into the same cell as us, but somehow his wounds were healing up very quickly, so they took them upstairs.”
The guys in the cells began discussing again after new people were brought in, the whole area was located in the basement while the other officers stayed on the upper floors after putting them behind bars.

”Jackpot, finally! We found another guy with the innovator bloodline! Plus the gang member that has ridiculously fast self-healing speed, that's two already!” a man in white lab coat exclaimed!
”We got almost a hundred people down there, you only found two innovators?” a guy in uniform asked.
”Well, it's extremely rare, and it's been said that you would be lucky to come across one in every a thousand people,” a supervisor of the laboratory said. ”With that been said, there could be more, but the equipment we have can only detect low to mid-grade GN particles in the blood, so I can't say for sure that we got all the innovators in the crowd.”
”Well, that one in a thousand number isn't valid now, because many ordinary citizens died and the innovators have a lot higher chance of surviving. Anyways, the high-grade ones are worth ten times the money, is there no other way to filter them again for high-grade innovators?” the guy in uniform asked again.
”Well, Sir, that's why I advised you to keep them all locked up for now. A normal person would be dying without water for 3 days, while innovators would be just fine. We will just wait and see. If someone does manage to survive, then he must be a high-grade innovator,” said the supervisor in a lab coat.
”Are we going to release them after testing them for 3 days and feed them food and water once we rule out that they aren't innovators?” the supervisor in a lab coat asked cautiously, his tone carrying a hint of fear for the guy in uniform.
”Of course not. They've seen too much. We are told to do everything discreetly. Anyways, get those two innovators ready, I will call in a helicopter to transport them.”
