"What do I mean by that, you ask?"
Mark replied with an evil smirk on his face.He was holding the syringe in his hand, he relaxed his grip a bit and continued

"You're a biologist Steve aren't you? Can you tell the name of the best vector of phylum Arthropoda ? "

"You are talking about flies and mosquitoes ?"

" Mosquitoes,exactly! Malaria, Dengue,Filaria..all these life threatening diseases are transmitted from one person to another by these poky yet menacing vector"

"But I haven't heard about a genetic disorder being spread by mosquitoes "

"Not yet,Steve.Not yet"

"You mean to say,you will spread this disease with the help of mosquitoes"

"You got it right!"
Mark's eyes sparkled as he started narrating this

" I am going to create a genetically modified and completely new breed if mosquitoes for this purpose.

You see these cryopreservation tanks.I have already created the larvae of these vectors and I just need to take them out to start their growth. They'll have this mutagen-enzyme complex in their intestine. That means their intestinal walls will secrete this chemical and nothing else. They'll bite a single person and they'll die.

Yeah,they can't bite more than one person, but who cares, I've created thousands of them and you know what the good news is? They can breed,they can breed in anywhere. Water is not necessary for the larvae to grow because they lay eggs, that doesn't require water to complete their life cycle,thanks to genetics .Well,If I'll have got to summarize it then I'll say,these mosquitoes will bite a person lay their eggs and they'll die and the cycle will continue."

"You barbarous beast!" Steve
Roared.

"You're getting upset so easily, Steve" Mark said, holding the syringe firmly in his hand. He glanced at the pointed needle of the syringe which looked ready to pierce through Steve's skin.With this thought in his mind Mark looked at Steve who was still lying helpless on the table.

The expression on Steve's face was a mixture of fear and
Peevishness.

"It's for revenge, Steve" Mark declared.

"Don't do this,Mark...." Steve said in an exasperated manner,but Mark acted like he didn't hear anything at all.

He took a step forward and bent down a bit to inject the mutagen into his body.
He pulled up the sleeve of Steve's shirt and injected the complex into him without any hesitation.

"NO!" Steve gave out a cry but it was too late.

Mark pulled off the syringe and asked the old man in a gesture to bring something from his table. The old man understood what did he ask for.He went to his table and picked up another syringe and handed it over to Mark.

"That was not it?what is it now?" Steve asked

"Nothing, just a dose of anaesthesia for you,so you won't be able to disturb me with your blabbering."

With this he injected the anaesthesia into his body and once again Steve became unconscious.

Steve is having a hard time or maybe it's just the beginning. Stay tuned to discover more and vote if you liked it.
