Knowing his actions had left Broddick vulnerable to attack made Emmett feel like a killer, though no one blamed him neither the army nor the FBI.Įmmett thought of FBI Special Agent Sharpe. His sole purpose in bioengineering Betty was to harvest her blood for his research into creating anti-venom capable of treating any kind of snake bite. Taking a life was against everything Emmett believed in. It did not matter that Broddick had tried to kill him and Monica, or that he had killed several soldiers, setting them on fire. Broddick had deserved his gruesome end though Emmett would forever feel guilty at the part he played in Broddick's death. Emmett tightened his lips in remembrance. The python had eaten the other half of the man, tearing him apart as both snakes fought over the 'morsel'. One adult human as a meal would keep her sated for a week so Emmett was almost glad that she had already eaten, even if that meal consisted of only half a human - Broddick. Would anyone even notice one or two going missing a week? He knew Philadelphia had a vulnerable itinerant population of bums and outcasts who lived on the streets and took refuge in the water outlets and tunnels by night. So far, no one had reported any missing persons but Emmett was no fool. Although no where near as voracious as the python, she was still deadly, needing to eat to survive, and the only prey on the menu was human. Part of him was thankful that it had not killed her outright but another part of him now feared for her. Yet, he had witnessed the electric current flowing through both giant snakes so he knew the device had worked. Even now, Emmett could not believe that she had not only survived the massive voltage sent through her when he pressed the remote but that it had little or no effect upon her. The scarlet boa had managed to destroy the bioengineered python that Broddick had brought into the country specifically to hunt but she had disappeared soon after. Beside him, Monica was rechecking her equipment before they plunged into the darkness in search of Betty. Emmett looked into the darkness of the Philadelphia water system, his nose crinkling at the dank smell drifting up.
