CHAPTER 24

Jeffrey returned from Mexico eager to begin his experiments. However, there was no doubt in Maria's mind that being fired from Moore Labs had taken a toll on him. He had always struggled with feelings of being different from other people and some people thought he was slightly crazy, but those feelings seemed to have intensified in the last couple of months. He was having spurts of extremely long hours of work followed by overly long hours of sleep. He had always been meticulous in his grooming, but now it no longer seemed to be important to him. When they would talk, she noticed that his speech and thought processes seemed to be jumbled, and at times, incomprehensible.

Jeffrey had been taking medication for his manic-depressive condition for many years and he began to wonder if it was losing its potency. He was aware that he was alternating long hours of work with long hours of sleep. He was also aware that his personal grooming was becoming less important than his work in the lab.

"What's going on?" Maria asked one day. "Something is wrong. I know how difficult the Moore situation was for you, but you seem to have changed. I'm also worried about your sleeping. It seems like every time I wake up in the middle of the night, you're not there. I didn't know you before you started your medication, but I've read that people in manic states often don't sleep for days. I've also noticed that when you do sleep, it's sometimes for hours and hours.”

"Maria, I was called 'Crazy Boy' when I was growing up. For some reason, all those god-awful childhood memories have been coming back to me. Maybe it's just a delayed reaction to the stress of being fired by Moore Labs," Jeffrey said. "As for not sleeping, I've had so much on my mind with building the lab, going to Mexico, and getting ready to conduct the experiments, sometimes I just can't seem to make myself sleep. When I do sleep, I want to get as much as I can so I'll be clearheaded when I conduct the experiments. Don't worry, I'll be fine once I get started on all the things I'm planning to do. Actually, I'm very excited. This is a transitional time for me." Secretly, he hoped that Freedom would help him as well.

Maria didn't have a good feeling after their conversation. She felt Jeffrey was beginning to spin out of control. Yet, maybe what he had told her was true. It couldn't have been easy to have everyone think you were crazy when you were a kid. And certainly there had been a lot of work and planning to do in the last couple of months. Maybe it was just a reaction to the stress he had been under. She decided to let it go for now and accept that this was just a temporary situation.

The complete shipment of drugs and supplies from the distribution center in California arrived as promised.
