Everything that Gary had done till this point, was riding on this test. So it was safe to say he had a reason for his hands being a little shaky.
Kai was watching his underclassman carefully, assuming that Gary might intend to switch the tube out or something at some point, but seeing him do nothing was causing sweat to run down his face. Seeing the blonde teenager so nervous only strengthened Sadie's belief that they had caught their suspect.
Since it needed his blood Gary asked the two White Rose agents if they wanted something for him to prick his finger. When Sadie offered to do it with her claw, the green haired teenager naturally pulled back his hands. It was then that Kai pulled out a small pocket knife that he carried around.
That item was technically something that students weren't meant to have, but given the situation none of the parties cared about it. However, before Gary could prick his finger, Frank inspected the pocket blade carefully, even going so far as to clean it with some disinfectant before handing it to the younger teenager.
This whole thing seemed absurd. He was only a teenager and yet two adults from the Altered Investigation Force were telling him to cut his hand to prove he wasn't an Altered. The world had truly gone crazy.
Why were they here instead of looking for Billy who had tried killing them? Why weren't they doing something more useful, like handling the gangs who had been responsible that his mother had been injured to the point she was in the hospital.
Fueled by anger, Gary pricked his finger with the pocket knife with ease and dropped the blood into the tube. He didn't even attempt to play any tricks as he was sure they would force him to cooperate until he did things 'properly' anyway.
Once it was inside the tube, he carefully shook it around, slowly, so they could all see everything. With bated breaths all of them were waiting on the result. Even Blake, who had overheard everything, had lifted himself to the point where the top of his head peaked over the window sill.
“Gary, if you're not an Altered, then what exactly are you?”
