CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

July 18

To everyone else in Beginnings they were a small number. Eleven

men and one woman. But to Dean, the group was large. It a was large sense of burden lifted from his shoulders. They were in Colorado, they had arrived there. And the two Beginnings’ men who had taken them just arrived back safe. The safety of those two men was the number one concern on

everyone’s mind. But they brought with them the bus like Joe had requested, to take the rest of the newcomers when their time came. And their time could not come too soon for Dean. Though they had only been roaming

around the community for a short time, their presence was known at each and every corner one turned. They spent a magnitude of time in the cryo lab going over their data. Data that Dean had copied before handing it to them.

He did this as his own safeguard, just incase.

And with a small group gone, Dean felt confident he could complete

his newest project and have it ready to present to Joe. But the radio cal from the nursery interrupted that. Dean hoped only briefly.

He didn’t have to ask what child at the nursery was sick. He knew. It

was Jenny’s baby. It would be the third trip in one week to the nursery for the Matoose child. Stomach ailments. Breathing problems. And the present Jenny compliant—fever. The trips to the nursery weren’t including all the times Andrea had to check the infant out. Jenny was being overboard and Dean was starting to get annoyed over it. Dean was beginning to feel like Ellen, mind-bitching about Jenny all the way to the nursery.

“Hi Raz.” Dean waved to the older gentleman. “How’s the Matoose

baby?”

Raz placed down the book he read. “Fine as usual. It’s the mother

that needs examined. Coming in here and checking on us eight times a day.

Anyway, the visitors checked her out, said she was fine.”

Dean stopped mid stride. “The visitors? You let them with the

babies?”

“Well . . uh, yeah. Was I wrong?” He stood up. “They’re doctors.”

“Shit.” Dean flew into the next room, the first vision he saw was six

of them gathered around one cradle. He could hear them murmur, but

couldn’t make out the words through the baby’s cries. “Excuse me.” Dean marched right up to them moving them one at a time. “Away from …” He saw which baby they were touching and observing. “Brian.” Dean barreled his way through and scooped up the crying baby, outrage filled his eyes and he held Brian close to his chest. “I want you people out of the nursery. And 196

away from this baby. Now.”

One of the doctors snubbed that suggestion. “We have a right to

examine that …”

“The hell you do!” Dean shouted, his hand holding the little head.

Comforting him. “Leave now or I’ll call security.”

They showed no fear of security being called, but in order to avoid

confrontation, they backed up and left.

“It’s all right Brian. Shh.” Dean placed his lips to the now infant.

“It’s all right. Why do these scientist want to …” Then it hit him why.
