Chapter Twenty-Three

Tyler sat hunched at his computer as Abigail and Marlee entered the workroom, coffee in hand and ready to work. It was only nine o’clock on Sunday morning, but they’d already shared a swim, shower, and healthy breakfast of fresh strawberries mixed with granola, cereal, and yogurt.

“We heard movement and figured you were already in here.” Marlee handed him the mug.

“Thanks.” Tyler took a sip without moving his gaze from the computer screen.

“How are you going Tyler?” Abigail asked.

He glanced at her. “Hannah was on the network late last night, snooping around your email account.”

“I know.” Abigail sat down. “She told me, but good on you for spotting it.”

“What was she doing?”

“Hannah’s concerned about us staying here,” Marlee said. “She came back late last night and told Abigail she was looking through her email to see if she could find out more about us. You didn’t hear anything?”

“No.” Tyler rolled his chair back to face them. “What time was that?”

“Around three in the morning,” Marlee said. “She came right up to Abigail’s room and knocked on the door.”

“No shit?” Tyler shook his head. “That must have been stressful. Did the two of you get caught?”

“Caught doing what?” Abigail asked, her face straight.

“Nothing.” Tyler’s cheeks reddened.

“I take it you had a good night then if you didn’t hear anything?” Abigail winked at Marlee. “I hope the room was fine.”

“Perfect,” he said. “I had a really good sleep.”

“It’s a wonderful room, isn’t it?” Marlee said. “I had the best night of my life in that bed.”

“I didn’t know you slept in it,” he said.

“Who said anything about sleeping?”

Abigail cleared her throat. “I, uh, think it’s time to get to work. Where should we start?”

“Let’s take stock of what we know,” Marlee said. “I find it useful jotting information down and then taking a step back to examine the notes.”

“I’ll open up a new file and be your scribe.” Tyler swung back around to his computer.

“Perfect,” Abigail said. “Maybe we should get Hannah over here now to help us.”

“You filled her in last night?” Tyler looked back over his shoulder.

“No,” Abigail said, “but I’m thinking this would be a good time to include her. I’m sure she’d come over now if I asked.”

“I don’t like the fact that she was snooping around your email last night,” Marlee said.

“She was just concerned about me. Hannah’s a good friend. I appreciate that she’s looking out for me.”

Marlee tried to ignore her feelings of jealousy and get back to the job. “Let’s jot our thoughts down now that we’re here. We need to get moving on this and she can always add to the document later.”

“Whatever you think,” Abigail said. “Where do we start?”

“With the facts.” Marlee turned to Abigail. “Why don’t you start by telling us what you know for sure?”

“Company research is being tampered with,” Abigail said. “I found proof of it in one of our experiments related to chromosome mutations in birth defects. Instead of preventing embryonic flaws, the research had been modified to propagate physical deformities affecting the face in fetal development.
