missed her dearly. How unfortunate it was that she chose not to conform to their system, and decided to run away.
    Sure, he felt that she deserved all the freedoms that any normal human enjoyed, but now she was being hunted, and these people were relentless. They would do anything to keep this little black Ops project from becoming known by anyone. Surely, the president would not be pleased if he ever became aware of it.
    They only told him what he needed to know, but the buzz around the facility was that the triplets were close to finding her again, and shortly thereafter, they would have someone there to shut her down. She was a talented woman, and might make it difficult, but they would never stop. It was only a matter of time, and he could only hope that she would find peace in the afterlife.
    For a brief moment he wondered if she even had a soul to go to an afterlife, but quickly determined that she not only did, but that it was likely that she had a special place reserved for her, more beautiful than any normal human being would enjoy.
    Removing his reading glasses, he put them away, and closed his laptop. He had been staring blankly at it for some time now, and he seriously doubted that he could return his mind to his work.
    He had heard that she had put Captain Ryan Pierce into a coma when he had caught up with her, although he found that hard to believe. Charlie could see the way that she looked at him, and despite the fact that she was artificially created, he could see in her eyes that it was genuine love that she felt for him.
    Actually, Charlie Hall was quite envious of Ryan. Not just because Mirage was created to be as beautiful as they come, but more so because she was equally beautiful on the inside. Never had he known a woman to show such true compassion for all life, while having the intellect of a Havard professor.
    What made it all so difficult to understand was that she had only been “birthed” for a month prior to running away. No one could figure out how she had learned so rapidly, or how she could learn things even before they were taught to her.
    Truth be told, Charlie would have fallen deeply in love with her, if he had not noticed how she had felt for Captain Pierce. Despite this, he had a mild affliction of love for her anyway.
    Casually Charlie glanced around the lobby that sat just outside of the firing range, and noted that it would never be the same without her. A small smile grew upon his weary face, as he realized that this area would remain forever more beautiful, because she had graced them with her presence here.
    Picking up his laptop, Charlie Hall began toward the hallway that would lead him out of the building, but turned back once more to gaze at the last room that he had ever seen her in. If to no one else, it would always be a special place to him.
    Turning, he walked through the door with a grin. Sure, he was scrawny, had ugly, curly red hair, and certainly his face was not as macho as many of those who roamed these halls, yet he was still certain that Mirage saw none of those things as a flaw. She was beautiful like that.
    Continuing down the hall, he removed his white lab coat, and draped it over the arm that was not carrying his laptop. It was late, and so few remained, so his only purpose now was to go home, and get some rest.
    As he approached the door with a sign that read "lab one", he paused. This was where Mirage was “conceived“, and then “birthed“.  It was later that she herself called her own apartment.
    Charlie smiled again as he shook his head, and continued down the corridor, still awash in her memory.
    Further down the hall, Charlie came across the sign that read "lab two", and he knew what was inside of there. It was the next G.E.O. due to be “birthed“, and her time was soon coming.
    Rumor had it that Mirage did not like her, though this made no sense at all. Viper was not actually alive yet. She was simply there within her large, glass tube, awaiting
