Firestarter 2: Rekindled Page #4

Is it too late to move the operation

to a government facility?

It was designed to fight

the undeclared wars of the 21st century.

That means hitting targets in the midst

of a civilian population with total surprise

and complete deniability.

Testing it on a government facility

defeats the purpose of the test.

- But the target: A bank?

- That's correct.

You're using these children, the most

advanced weapons ever, to rob a bank?

It's not about the bank.

Think about what robbing a bank entails.

Crowd control, penetrating a hardened

structure, targeting a specific objective.

We understand all that. It just seems so...

- Mundane?

- Mundane, yes. And totally deniable.

Nonetheless,

we may have to postpone this.

According to your reports, there are

participants that must be accounted for.

- They're considered security risks.

- And they will be accounted for.

Gentlemen, thank you for your time.

I have to get back to work now.

Excuse me a minute, gentlemen.

Well, John, they didn't do me

any favours in there.

So... where are we in tracking down

the previous test subjects?

We've found virtually all of them.

"Virtually" means the opposite

of what it sounds.

We will locate all the surviving

test subjects before Radiant Thunder.

- Even Charlene McGee?

- With all due respect, McGee is dead.

With respect, Joel,

you don't know anything.

Even if she were alive, what makes you

think she's a threat to Radiant Thunder?

When she was ten,

she could produce 20,000 degrees

of spot heat in less than three seconds.

Enough heat

for concrete blocks to explode.

I'd say that makes her a threat,

wouldn't you?

Aren't you letting your imagination

run away with you?

Joel, my job requires

an absolute lack of imagination.

- John's here.

- (boy) Hi, John.

Oh! Oh, there's my boy.

There he is. Whoa!

- Look what I did. I took out his brains.

- Oh, yes, you did.

Here's the cerebellum.

Then, here's the cerebrum.

And then here's the medulla.

- Can I have a puppy next?

- Oh, well... if you're a good boy.

Oh! You're a heavy lump.

There, down you get.

Now, let's see how Cody's doing.

How's my boy today?

- Can I get you anything?

- (boy) Why does he get all the attention?

We can all do stuff.

He doesn't do anything.

Yeah, I mean, what is so special

about him anyway?

Soon.

Soon.

Why don't you tell us

a story about Charlie?

- Those stories are so stupid.

- Oh, be nice, Paul. Be nice.

- I like it when she burns stuff.

- The farm's the best: She burns people.

All right, then. Come on,

gather round, gather round.

Now, does anyone know

what happened to Charlie

after she burnt up the people at the farm?
