“Sebastjan! What is the meaning of this? What have you done?” Supreme Walter demanded from the exam room door. It had taken nearly fifteen minutes for it to open after Ariella’s containment started. The facility sensors had been testing the exam room air to make sure it and Dr. Sebastjan Walter were safe. “We have equipment at home. You should never have brought her in here.”

Sebastjan glared at his father. “Did you know about her condition? Why haven’t the home monitors picked up on it?”

“Of course I know,” his father quipped. “I know everything that happens in my city. You’re first doctor on scene. Clear her so we can go home. I will deal with the two of you in private.”

“Then you also know it’s not a natural condition,” Sebastjan insisted, ignoring the threat. He looked at Ariella, knowing she couldn’t hear them. She stood against the plastic shield, hands lifted, palms and fingers pressed so hard they turned white. Her large eyes stared at them. She looked terrified.

“Of course I know.” The Medical Supreme frowned. “Clear her. Now.”

“What did you do? Program the home monitors so they wouldn’t show her abnormality?” Sebastjan refused to hand over the clipboard. “What’s wrong with her? Did you think to trick me into marrying someone who is…sick?”

Sebastjan’s stomach tightened. He again looked at his clipboard. The anomaly didn’t make sense. It wasn’t natural, but he’d never seen anything like it. He began tapping the electronic interface, examining the molecular structure.

“It’s not a—” Sebastjan began.

“It’s nothing you’d recognize.” His father snatched the clipboard away. “Perhaps if you had stayed here and worked with me like I’d asked you to.”

“You mean like you ordered me to,” Sebastjan corrected as he tried to grab the clipboard back. “What did you do to Ariella?”

“You should thank me. I trained her to be the perfect doctor’s wife. She will do as she’s told and if she doesn’t…” Supreme Walter set the clipboard down decisively. “Clear her now or you can forget about my signing off on those handhelds and any future funding for your research facility.”

“That threat is empty and we both know it. Besides, I’ve already authorized the posting of my preliminary findings to several predominate scientists. I’d like to see you explain your reasoning to them.”

“Don’t threaten me, son. You’re not skilled enough for it.”

“It wasn’t a threat.”

Sebastjan looked at his wife. She stared at his father. Her face was hard, but he saw the fear in her eyes. He tried not to believe his father capable of anything so diabolical. Sure, the man was manipulative and shrewd, but this? Would his father really go so far as to poison a woman just to control her?

“This is how you got her to marry me, isn’t it? You made sure she was well and then forced her to marry me by holding the cure hostage from her.” He felt sick to his stomach and his heart began to beat a little faster. The wall monitor instantly brought up his stats.
