Chapter 15: The Alchemist's Formula
The lab reeked of chemicals, vials glinting under harsh fluorescents. Peter and Liz hunted the Alchemist, a bio-terrorist crafting poisons for a rival syndicate aiming to destabilize Reddington's network. Surface goal: stop the Alchemist. Emotional undertone: suspense. Long-term arc: control the System.
In a safehouse, Peter cross-referenced Reddington's intel, uncovering the syndicate's rise.
"It's not terrorism. It's a hit on Red's empire."
Peter told Liz, his voice low.
Her profiler's instincts flared, her tone sharp.
"Then we hit them first."
In a diner, Meera confronted Peter, her voice crisp.
"You're always ahead, Wells. How?"
"Good instincts."
Peter deflected, the System warning of her file.
In a surveillance van, Liz confided in Peter, her voice raw.
"I think Tom's hiding something. I'm digging."
"Be careful, Liz. Trust your gut."
His tone was calm, but the System flagged Tom's Cabal link.
In the lab, Peter and Liz navigated equipment, the System glitching.
A vision hit—a digital shadow clawing his mind, the parasite's hum vivid. Peter stumbled, gripping a table.
"Peter, what's wrong?"
Liz's voice was urgent, her hand on his arm.
"Just a headache. Keep moving."
His reply was strained, the System surging.
They cornered the Alchemist, his eyes feverish.
"You can't stop progress."
Peter darted past a thrown vial, the System guiding.
He crashed the man down, securing a poison vial. The parasite hissed: You're mine.
From Liz's POV, Peter's struggle was clear. He's fighting something inside him.
In a debriefing, Reddington's voice was smooth.
"You've thwarted a pesky syndicate, Peter."
"What's your angle, Red?"
Peter's tone was dry, his head throbbing.
In his apartment, Peter stared at the System's glow, the parasite's hum louder.
"What the hell are you?"
He whispered, fear rising.
At a bar, Ressler raised a glass, his voice gruff.
"To stopping the bastard."
"To surviving."
Peter's grin hid his dread, the parasite's presence growing.
The Alchemist's defeat protected Reddington's network, but the syndicate and System parasite signaled a darker path.
