Her room was always the coldest on the ship, but that was purposeful, as was everything Miss Vickers did. From what she ate to the words she spoke to the looks she gave. Nothing was unplanned, done without her express permission. If she couldn’t control it, she would pretend that she could. Well, David was finished playing pretend.
He didn’t say a word as he entered her quarters, only closing the door behind him and triggering the emergency lock-down mechanism. The way he came towards her was unassuming; no frantic run, no mad dash for the woman he hated so much. His blue eyes were set on her form, and at his lips was the beginning of a smile. He felt the cool steel of the needle against his fingertips, gripping the syringe tightly with his thumb.
