Chapter 26. The Flying Squirrel was bound by the arms to a bar that ran along the wall of the

0:08.4

laboratory, six inches above her head. She had been left there in semi-darkness for almost an hour

0:13.5

listening to the sounds of Professor Zombie's ghouls scrabbling in the shadows. She could see the

forms of two more men, each of tremendous size, strapped to some equipment on either side of the lab. She could see the forms of two more men, each of tremendous size, strapped to

some equipment on either side of the lab. She could tell by the pallor of their skin that the

0:26.5

process that was to transform them into soldiers of the undead army of crime had not yet been

She had resisted the urge to try and break free of her captors,

1:38.3

even if she could escape those two without being killed.

1:41.6

No mean feat, as she was deep underground in pitch darkness with who knows how many
