Chapter Thirteen

As he stood in the penthouse of one of the most prestigious buildings in Chicago, he smiled, feeling completely satisfied. There was nothing as sweet as the feeling of winning.

Or watching his enemies run around and jump through hoops to try to save their asses.

With a toast to a successful day, he swirled his cocktail, admiring the weighty spirals of red and blue liquid that never mixed due to their molecular composition. He took in the news with careless interest, then faced the expansive windows to look down on the city. Lights flashed like miniature beacons, then streaked in the distance over the lake as vehicles traveled, flashing in a way that reminded him of time-lapse photography. Soon the lights grew fewer as people locked themselves away for the night.

He sipped, holding the honeyed liquid in his mouth until it filled with saliva. Then he swallowed slowly. He belched.

Yes, they’d tucked their little darlings into cryo pods. These few might be the lucky ones. There would be more to come. He’d made certain of that.

Discarding the half-empty glass on the counter, he entered a fortified sterile room—his personal lab. Concealed far above the streets where the GEI lived, he tugged open the cryogenic safe that housed his genetic wonder. He removed an anaerobic jar housing a thumbnail-sized petri dish. It was amazing how little one needed to initiate the genetic engineering process.

He crossed to the worktable. By tomorrow he’d have enough serum to kill thousands.

They did not fall asleep this time, instead, he’d kissed her. Kissed her! She couldn’t believe it. And immediately after, he jumped to his feet and couldn’t make it to the door quick enough. Obviously, he wasn’t pleased with what he’d done.

Kindra followed York down the hallway, taking a double step every few strides to keep pace with him. He’d answered her question about his son with only sad affirmation. She wanted to know more. He seemed so vulnerable and emotionally authentic. To her immense surprise, she was eager to learn every last detail about York Richmond. And in the realm of knowledge, she could be insatiable.

When they reached the elevator, she marched inside beside him. Ha! He couldn’t run from her any longer.

He crossed his arms, and so did she. The door slid closed.

“Basement,” he said to Comp Nine. He eyed the descending numbers.

Fooltar. Within the close proximity of the elevator, her breathing grew shallow and faster. Her breasts felt sensitive beneath the hugging pressure of her arms. She inhaled his masculine scent. Her body reacted to him in the most unusual way.

It was as if the intense situation with the children spilled into every aspect of her life, confusing her in ways she’d never been confused before. At the same time, she desired to wrap him in her arms and offer comfort. She couldn’t imagine the hurt he’d suffered today. First, he’d lost his partner, and now she sensed the inner turmoil surrounding his son’s death.

The unity dimension interconnected with a world of supreme contentment, the beings all vessels of energy and spirit.
