Driving for over an hour in a vehicle filled with blood and a dead body on a hot day was a punishment.It was time to end their suffering and ditch the car. Martin took a detour from the main highway. It was a little out into the woods, a little way out of town. It would be a suitable place to leave the black BMW, and Kevin’s body.
He and Anita used what they could to cover the body in the back seat before leaving. If all went well, he would be able to send someone to retrieve it soon, but there was no sense in leaving it in a state that someone could easily find.
All they took with them was themselves, and the papers containing the report provided by Professor Antonio. Martin briefly wondered if Professor Antonio had indeed discovered any connection to what Norman referred to- Kevin and those like him being 'created'.Martin and the professor had reached a similar conclusion earlier.Could he get irrefutable proof that Kevin wasn't human? It was decided that even though he had substantive reports to back his claim, it wasn’t really something he could yet determine.
How could the Assassins trace them to Antonio's place? This had been at the back of Martin's mind from the time he realized that the assassins had found them.
As they were finally getting out of the car, they heard an aircraft flying high above them. Martin looked at the sky towards the airliner. Then it struck him. Drones! The bloody assassins had used drones to track down the ambulance. The number of the ambulance written on its rooftop is visible from the air. The Aerial roof markings gave them away.That's why it took them so many days to track the ambulance down. The drones could not track the Aerial roof markings of the ambulance at night. Damn! Martin felt a heavy pang of guilt. He should have thought of this earlier. The only thing he could do now was to cut his losses.
Martin took the papers from Anita. On top of what she already told him, Antonio had made several other significant discoveries. Even if Kevin hadn’t received a mortal stab wound, he would have died soon regardless; the man had developed some cancer, one that moved through him without rhyme or reason. His body was unable to sustain something he was in contact with, and it was on the verge of killing him. That was all the information given in that regard.
But it made sense. At least, made a little more sense about Kevin; such as why he regenerated so quickly, and why everyone was after him. He deduced that those like Kevin were created by NASA, but one, Kevin, managed to escape, and someone else managed to discover that fact.
