      “I’m not who you think I am,” he growled

      If she hadn’t been so terrified, Emily might have laughed. “Next you’re going to tell me you’re innocent.”

      “Honey, I’m a long way from innocent, but I don’t belong in this hellhole any more than you do.”

      His voice was like a low rumble of thunder announcing the approach of a violent storm. Emily was aware of his body pressed firmly against hers. She could feel the high-wire tension in his muscles.

      “Not another word,” he whispered. “Or I swear I’ll kill whomever walks through that door.”

      His gaze fastened on hers and she saw a flicker of an emotion she couldn’t quite identify.

      “Unless you want me to pull this trigger, I suggest you follow my cue.”

      Before she could answer, he slid his hands to either side of her face and lowered his mouth to hers.

      Epilogue

      Prologue

      The scream echoed off the concrete walls, giving the prison the aura of a medieval castle where unspeakable acts of torture were routine. The prisoner lay on the narrow gurney, struggling against the nylon straps securing his arms and legs, drops of blood staining the sheet covering him from the hips down.

      Pain and terror contorted his features. “No more,” he whimpered. “Please…”

      The doctor in the white lab coat looked down at his charge and reminded himself that the man was a murderer who didn’t deserve compassion. But the knowledge didn’t make what he was about to do any easier.

      Steeling himself against the prisoner’s agonized shrieks, he reached for the tiny vial marked RZ-902. “It’s almost over,” he said. “Just try to relax.”

      His hand froze on the vial when the door swung open. Tension knotted his stomach when the man in the custom-made suit walked into the examination room.

      “For God’s sake, I could hear him all the way to the infirmary.” The man scowled at the prisoner. “Shut him up or you’re going to have people asking questions we don’t want to answer.”

      “I was just about to sedate him before putting him into the testing chamber.”

      “Do whatever it takes. Just shut him up. I don’t want questions from some do-good corrections officer.” Spotting the clipboard on the counter, the man in the suit picked it up and began to read. “How did the patient respond to the RZ-902 treatment?”

      Both men knew the words patient and treatment were euphemisms for something far more sinister. Pushing that thought away, the doctor concentrated on answering the question. “Better than expected.”

      “The mortality rate?”

      “Ninety-eight percent.”

      “Time frame?”

      “Less than five minutes.”

      “Excellent,” the man said, smiling with satisfaction. “I want a full report on my desk within the hour.” He glanced at his watch. “I’m meeting with our client at noon. I want all phases of product development
