Mr. Dark steps over Dylan Thorne’s bleeding corpse. “And to think…” says Mr. Dark, “most people on this planet believe that Satan is God’s opposite.”Mr. Dark stares at his opponent with dead eyes. “You never really had a chance, you know. Some things are unavoidable in this world.” He begins to type a few choice codes into the computer at his side.
Mr. Dark returns his glare to his adversary. “It seems we were all pawns in this game. Even you. …And me.” He presses a final key. “This failsafe will trigger an explosion about a hundred times more powerful than a hydrogen bomb. It will most likely crack the planet wide open, and jolt the earth out of its orbit. No one who was immune to the effects of the pandemic will possibly survive this.”
“I can’t let you do that.”
“I doesn’t matter. As I said, some things are inevitable. Death always is.”
THIS IS NOT OVER
