DNA Valkyrie - Vol. 5 - Chapter 23: Cynthia's Choice

Chapter 23: Cynthia’s Choice

It was now up to her to make her final choice.

This was not the first opportunity she was given to make her choice. Richard was gentleman enough that he gave her this last opportunity to make her choice—to make the right choice.

Ideally, especially considering what Richard wanted her to do, the “right” choice was for Cynthia to side with them.

Siding with them was something she deeply hated and went against everything she stood for as a detective it was even worse for her right now since she was no longer a solo private eye; she had a team of other detectives with her and she didn’t want to let them down…

“Last chance: What is it going to be, Widdowfield?” Richard acted like a total brute with her. He was ruthless and knowing that her life was on the line, this made this even more difficult for her.

Cynthia… You can’t become an accomplice to murders with them… You cannot in good conscience support what they did and side with them… You can’t… What are you doing…? But my life is on the line… My life is on the line!  

What was she going to do… 

“Cynthia. Make the right choice,” Amber was serious about this. She locked eyes with her. Cynthia could tell that she was hoping that she would side with her. She knew that she knew that this was not an easy decision, at all… 

“I…” Cynthia finally said something…

She didn’t say much, but she tried saying something…

…

Everyone impatiently waited for her final answer…   

“I chose to…” 

… All of a sudden, Cynthia (and everyone present in the room for that matter), abruptly heard a window violently breaking! The glass of a window in this room had just smashed!

The private detective didn’t have to turn around to see who was responsible for this since she could see that window from where she was sitting in the room, but everybody else suddenly spun around to discover that it was none other than Quentin who smashed that window. The others only saw her for a brief second, but Widdowfield saw him. 

Quentin didn’t break the glass of that window to sneak into the room to join them—that would have been an absurd disaster since he didn’t fit through that tiny window, to begin with—no, he did that to throw some kind of smoke bomb in the room. In a matter of a split-second, the room was filled with smoke, which served in both blinding Richard and Amber, but also disrupting them by making them cough quite terribly. 

Before this could be the case for Cynthia, as well, she did something to remedy that… 

“DNA!” Cynthia shouted which immediately activated the DNA Valkyrie device that doubled as her bra. The device itself suddenly began glowing with bright and electrifying blue and purple coloured lights! 

This distraction with the smoke was all she could hope for and all she needed to find herself again.

Cynthia stood upright.

Her eyes were lit with the same blue and purple light that shocked her entire body. 

Richard and Amber were unable to see her move around the room with that thick and blinding smoke filling it. Meanwhile, the primal detective might not have been able to see much more than they did in that smoke, but her pure Saurius instincts were exactly what carried her out of the room, not to say that Richard’s dinosaur instincts were not good enough or as great as hers, but the chaotic confusion and distraction overwhelmed him. Meanwhile, Cynthia was able to rush out of the room, escaping through that broken window, following Quentin, the one who had come to help her.

Cynthia landed outside with a loud thud after her jump. The primal private eyes could still see Quentin running in the distance. Now, it was up to her to keep up with him…

She did everything she could to keep up with him, but she was in slightly worse shape than he was considering the tasteful fucking session she just had a few minutes ago. Thankfully for her, the DNA Valkyrie device had been activated and this meant that she had turned more animalistic and instinctual than ever before. The dinosaur DNA was reignited and reawakened inside her and thanks to that she was able to recover a lot better and she was able to run after Quentin, following me during the escape!     

He’s running pretty fast but I’m convinced I can catch up with him! Primal Cynthia thought to herself as she sped up, running with more and more velocity and haste like a real dinosaur would. Her spirit dinosaur was the Dilophosaurus and that carnivore was certainly able to run quite easily. 

“QUENTIN!” she continued speeding more and more until she finally caught up with him. Catching up with him was not anywhere near enough for her since the next second, she was able to overcome him in the race if you could call it that, and get ahead of him. 

“Glad it worked,” he told her, referring to the distraction with the smoke bomb, assuring her escape.              

“What are you doing here?” Without mentioning that weird sex dream she had of him not long ago, the last time she saw him was a while back and the last time they did speak he was still back at Capital City. How did he even get here? Did he come all the way here on the train just to come help her? But how did he know that she was even in trouble in the first place? Her head was full of questions and the pool of answers she hoped to obtain was pretty thin… 

“I’ve had the feeling that something bad was happening to you,” Quentin told her as the two of them ran together, her gaining speed on him more and more and getting much ahead of him.

“So, you came to me because of a hunch?” she questioned him. 

“No, I came because you didn’t give any sign of life. Not even one phone call. This is what indicated to me that you were in trouble,” he explained to her. 

“That would do it… So, where are we going?” She asked him. 

“I’ll tell you on the way…”
