Chapter Fourteen

Today was the day to see what Roger had cooked in his lab. Rezi remained in his room. He'd made a little nest in the corner to sleep, curled up in a ball. His innocence touched me.

My stomach churned. We were only giving him the flu. With medical support, he would be fine.

Roger walked in and turned to the monitor to give me a thumbs up. I waved back automatically even though I knew he couldn't see me.

Rezi scrambled up when he entered and smiled. Roger walked forward and put his arm around him. They walked toward the tube. The clone slowed, obviously not wishing to get in the bed. Roger’s arm tightened. He held up a syringe and the clone bucked. Roger quickly jabbed the needle into the clone’s arm.

I put my hand over my mouth. This felt wrong.

I watched as Rezi stumbled backward. He sneezed once, then again. Until he coughed and wheezed over and over. Roger moved closer but Rezi looked up and started screaming. His eyes had reds streaks coming from the corners. His nose bled.

I hadn't even realized I stood until my nose hit the monitor as I crowded close.

This was wrong. Roger and the clone stood highlighted in the room. Rezi gripped his throat and fell to his knees. Roger grabbed his arm and forced him up onto the tube platform and closed him into the glass case.

I ran to the door without thinking. By the time I got inside, the tube had shut. Roger stood and tapped on the glass, recording I guessed.

When I looked in, Rezi was a nightmare of blood, body convulsing, his mouth open. “What the hell did you do, Roger?”

“Just the flu. It shouldn't have done this.” Roger tapped quickly on the glass, but I saw the smile on his face.

“Why are you smiling?”

Roger shrugged. “It is interesting, is it not?”

“No, he is dying in there.”

“Not dying. Remember, the quarum heals.”

“He is suffering!”

“He is fine. Look.”

Rezi’s head raised toward the glass, banging off of it and falling back onto the hard surface.

“That is not good!” I gestured to the wall.

Roger went, “Huh.”

I cried out and tried to open the tube. Roger grabbed the back of my shirt. “No, you can't go in there. We can't let the virus out.”

His pudgy little arms held me back. The dude was surprisingly strong.

Roger tapped on the glass and yelled. “Settle down. The tube will heal you.”

Rezi craned his head around to look at us. Even as I watched, the whites of his eyes, bloodshot and wild at first, cleared. I twirled on Roger. “What was that?”

“That should not have happened. I am not sure why he reacted that way.”

Erin and Dela walked in behind us. I swung back to Roger after a glance. “Just like the hepatitis should not have happened.”

“That was a miscalculation of the dispersal system.”

“Ah, huh.”

“What, pray tell, do you mean?”

Erin piped up next to me. “Did you do it on purpose?”

“Do what?”

“Kill everyone, hurt the E'mani for hurting you.
