Pedro came out of the guardhouse and over to Vi car. He stuck out his hand. ‘Nice to meet you, Dr. Frank. I’m @ Gonzales from Able Protection.”

Victor shook hands with him. He wasn’t happy. ‘Why aren’t you with my boy?” Victor asked brusquely.

“I was,” Pedro explained, “but when we got here, he said he was safe inside the compound at Chimera and that I was supposed to wait in the guardhouse.”

“I think your orders were pretty clear to stay with the boy at all times,” Victor said.

“Yes, sir,” @ answered, realizing he’d made a mistake. ‘it won’t happen again. Your son was quite convincing. He said you’d wanted it this way. I’m sorry. 7 “Where is he?” Victor asked.

‘That I can’t say,” Pedro answered. “He and Philip are on the grounds here someplace. They haven’t left if that is what you’re concerned about.”

“That’s not what I’m concerned about,” Victor snapped. “I’m concerned that I hired Able Protection to watch over him and the jobs not being done.”

“I understand,” Pedro said.

Victor looked up at the gate operator. “Is Sheldon working today?”

‘Hey, Sheldon!” the guard yelled.

Sheldon appeared at the doorway. Victor asked if he had any idea where VJ was.

“Nope,” Sheldon said, ‘but when he arrived this morning, he and Philip headed that way.” He pointed west.

“Toward the river?” Victor asked.

“Could have been,” Sheldon said. “But he could have gone to the cafeteria, too.”

. “Would you like me to come with you and help find him?”

Pedro asked.

Victor shook his head no as he put his car in gear. “You wait here until I find him.” Then, to the guard, who was blankly listening to the conversation, he said, “I’d appreciate it if you could raise this gate before I drive through it.” The guard jumped and ran back inside to activate the gate mechanism.

victor floored the -accelerator and sped onto the Chimem lot.

Forgetting his reserved parking space, he drove to the building that housed his lab and parked in front of the entrance. It said no parking but he didn’t care.

He pulled his coat collar up and hunched over, running for the door.

Robert was the only one still there. He was as busy as ‘ usual, again working with the gel electrophoresis unit. That was where the bits and pieces of the cleaved DNA were separated.

“Have you seen VJ?” Victor asked, shaking off some of the rainwater.

“Haven’t seen him Robert said. He rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands. “But I have something else to show you.” He picked up two strips of film which had dark bands in exactly the same location and held them out for Victor to take. ‘That second tumor sample you gave me had the same extra piece of DNA as your son’s.

But the sample was from a different person.”

‘It was from our live-in nanny,” Victor said. “Are you positive that the moiety was the same in both samples?” “Quite sure,” Robert said.

“@t’s astounding,” Victor said, forgetting VJ for a moment.

‘I thought you’d find it interesting,” Robert said with pride.
