“There’s another piece of news from Ark Camp One that I just know you’ll love,” Lucas said with a grin, his mood clearly lifted by Theresa’s laughter.

“Oh? What is it?”

“Dr. Klein had a stroke.”

Theresa blinked. “What?”

Lucas added with a perfectly straight face, “You pissed him off yesterday.”

Pffi!

Theresa burst out laughing, clapping her hands like a delighted villain.

Oh, that’s rich!

She didn’t get to shoot that old b*stard, but she did manage to enrage him into a stroke. Totally worth it.

Old Mr. Keaton, who had been watching her laugh with unrestrained glee, gave her a big thumbs–up. “Theresa, when Lucas came home last night and told me what you did–I was stunned. In a good way! So d*mn proud of you!”

“That old freak had it coming. I’ve been itching to deal with him for years!”

“Oh?” Theresa raised an eyebrow. “Spill it–what kind of dirt are we talking about?”

Old Mr. Keaton’s face darkened. He waved his hand dismissively, his voice full of disdain. “You probably don’t know the real story behind that guy. He used to be a scientific genius, backed heavily by the state. But then, one day, another country lured him away with big money, and he switched nationalities without hesitation. Started working over there.

“But it turns out, he was running a ton of human experimentation over there, too. Eventually got busted and had to flee back here.

“At the time, the country was desperate for talent, so they protected him, gave him research funding, and even gave him a lab. But he never changed his citizenship back. The guy’s been living here all this time with a foreign passport.”

“Wow, that’s pretty shady

Old Mr. Kraton grinned. “But what you did–wrecking his lab–that’s legendary. That lab was everything to him. You pulled off something I’ve always dreamed of doing.”

Theresa beamed. “Well then, if there’s anything else you want done, you can pass it to me. I’ll handle it.”

Hahaha!” Old Mr. Keaton let out a hearty laugh, looking at her with sheer admiration. He’d already made up his mind–Theresa wasn’t just family anymore.

She was his real granddaughter now.

Lucas would have to take the number two spot.

“By the way,” Lucas added, “remember that experiment sample you brought back yesterday?”

Theresa had been laughing so hard she nearly forgot. Oh, right–they had brought back one of Dr. Klein’s prized projects.

They were originally going to use it to extort some money out of him, but then she’d made him cough up blood and pass out, and there was no time to negotiate.

“That thing’s his only surviving result,” Lucas said.

“The only one?” Theresa asked.

“Yeah. After we trashed the lab, that’s the only sample that made it out. What do you plan to do with it?”

Theresa thought for a moment. “Let’s keep it for now.”

No way in hell she was giving it back. It could be useful later–worth holding on to.

After finishing the gossip feast about Ark Camp One and the drama with the other two camps, Theresa scrolled through a flood of praise directed at her from Ark Camp One.

Morgan had privately messaged Old Mr. Keaton, singing her praises as if she were heaven–sent.

Compliment after compliment.

‘She’s the most outstanding young woman I’ve ever met. Her marksmanship is excellent–it’s clear your training was top–notch.

‘She’s got incredible initiative. I watched footage of her taking down zombies–if only we had someone like her at our camp.

And she’s got such a great personality–easily the best I’ve seen in any woman.

A girl that amazing, with that much individuality, shouldn’t be stuck in a small corner of the world. Have you considered allowing her to experience more of the world? We’ve got an event coming up at our camp -I’d love to bring her and show her the world.

Theresa fell silent.

She vaguely recalled giving Morgan the cold shoulder the entire time.

How did that translate into great personality in his head?

‘Don’t bother with that fella,” she waved dismissively. She had zero interest in Morgan.

Lucas caught that and smirked quietly to himself

After lunch with Old Mr. Keatgh, Theresa returned to her office to check on the camp’s development progress

Bennie had really pulled through–he’d churned out ten full development reports over the past two days.

One report in particular caught her eye–a very promising exosuit production plan.

“This was designed by your team of engineers,” Bennie said, handing her a stack of blueprints. “I think it’s solid. They’ve even built a prototype already. You should take a look.”

Theresa flipped through the designs. “Let’s go now.”

“Can’t you just stay here and have them drive it over?” Bennie grumbled like the spoiled heir he was. “We don’t even have a car.”

Transport around here was a joke, and he hated going outside.

“You don’t have a car–but you have legs, don’t you?!”

With that, Theresa gave him a swift kick and sent him flying out the door.
