PROTEIN: Book 1: The Trigger

Nine seconds. >It didn't. >I've seen people escape handcuffs. But this? >A 49 year old woman who could barely walk had apparently vanished from one of the most advanced, heavily guarded prisons ever built. Vanished in just nine second I remember looking at the security chief and laughing. Not because it was funny. Because sometimes something is so f---ing impossible that your brain doesn't know what else to do. Then I opened her file. Sushana Singh. Former businesswoman. Former politician. Hacker. Depending on which government's report you believed, she was a cyberterrorist, a thief, a whistleblower, a political extremist or one of the most dangerous women alive. She had embarrassed governments, exposed powerful people and stolen information worth billions. But there was something about her file that bothered me more than her criminal history. Sushana was disabled. She couldn't run. Some days, she could barely walk without assistance. And somehow, this woman had just accomplished what younger, stronger, far more physically capable prisoners couldn't. The impossible escape. At least- that's what we called it.
