Gerard had not planned on making love to Cecilia again. Yes, he’d thought about her endlessly while away, but he hadn’t expected a repeat of their time in the transport. There was just something about her that drew him to her and silently begged for his kisses. He felt the pull as strongly as that first moment, if not more so. Even now he tasted her on his lips.

But her shame of their sexual encounters had not changed. Why was he doing this to himself? She was right. There was no future in it.

It didn’t matter. He was taken by her and he would go back to her again and again, as often as she would have him, until their story together came to an end.

“Dr. Fauchet, I heard you had returned. What news? Is it true? Has there been an outbreak?”

Gerard frowned, quickly glancing behind him to make sure no one heard Dr. Jonns’s panicked questions. He was under strict orders that no outsiders should know of their situation. Dr. Jonns only knew because he’d intercepted a message meant for Dr. Swift. Unfortunately, the man’s level of panic would only be magnified if the full truth were known. Jonns wasn’t exactly the most composed of researchers, preferring botany science and food production to human infectious diseases even though he was technically qualified to help with the problem. Should others find out before they had more facts, there would be worldwide terror. With their medical advancements came a false sense of security that they could cure anything.

“No. There is no outbreak,” Gerard assured the man.

Jonns did not look fully convinced. “Then the illness is contained? How many infected? What is it?” Looking at Gerard, he stepped back. He glanced up at the wall monitor, as if Gerard himself might be carrying a new virus.

Gerard lifted up his hands. “I’m clean. I’ve been scanned many times.”

Jonns nodded, but did not reclose the distance between them.

“Privacy Code Six has been enacted. We’re not allowed to discuss it with anyone. Since you’re privy to the information, you will be tasked as one of the members working to find out what it is we’re dealing with. Currently, there is only one infected, but we’re concerned the virus is airborne. Sanitation protocols have been enacted as well.”

“Who? Who is infected? A traveler? Are they quarantined? What about the portal? Have they suspended travel?”

Gerard heard the door behind him and gestured Jonns to hurry down the hall. They ducked into an empty laboratory. Seconds later, Cecilia walked by the door. She did not look in.

“Is it..?” Jonns motioned toward the door in horror. “Dr. Markos and Sans Nel? They’re the carriers, are they?”

“No.” That was the last rumor Gerard wanted circulating around amongst his peers. If Jonns thought the virus was inside the local facility, the man wouldn’t be able to keep his mouth shut about it. “I am not at liberty to discuss the patient, but he is local. You will get a copy of the report.
