Lazar knew only one thought once the CDC alerts came pouring in.

We have to get moving.

He entered a code into the security panel for the containment cells; Dreya and Quinn’s door locks popped and their doors slid open. “Get dressed,” he said. “You’re coming with me.”

He stepped through the door into the outer hallway to make a call while they dressed. “Hello, Senator, it’s Anthony Lazar. Sir, we have a situation, and I need you to get me in to see the President, now.”

Palpable resistance flowed. Stanton’s panicked voice squeaked through the speaker, sounding like a gutted sheep. “I’m very aware all hell is breaking loose.”

More resistance came. With no time to waste, he said, “Sanford, do you want me to say on this public line why it is you’re going to get me in to see the President today?”

The resistance sputtered out; he didn’t wait for further response. “We’re on our way. I’m bringing Jarvis from the FBI and one of his teams. I’ll see you at the door.”

While Senator Stanton put him on hold, Lazar gazed out the window. Benignly, the day was beautiful, a reasonable temperature, gentle breeze out of the southwest; a day to remember. He shook his head in disbelief. While it was his greatest desire, he never thought this day would come—a day when Nobility would save the human race.

“Yes, Senator, I’m here. We’re on our way.”

Ever since his sister’s death, his life had moved in a great circle, from Washington to Draco Station and back. The search for a means to prevent human disease had propelled him to another galaxy, and now on Earth, humanity needed his discovery desperately.

But will they go for it?

Since taking Nobility, his ego had been replaced by more circumspect consideration when making decisions. While this change in procedure rarely caused a change in decision for him, it ultimately rendered him more solid in his stance, leaving his conscience satisfied.

At last, Nobility for humanity.

He hated that it had to be this way.

Dreya, Rhys, Quinn, and Simon came through the door, their faces expectant as they waited for his instructions.

“We’re going to the While House.” He turned to exit when Dreya caught his arm.

“What’s going on?” she demanded.

“What we feared has happened—the virus has exploded around the world. We’re going to talk to the President about Nobility.”

Thinking that was all she wanted, he turned back, but she hung on, tenacious and unmovable.

“What are you planning?”

“The world is about to catch on fire, Dreya. It’s time to play the Nobility card, however unfortunate it is that we do so for this reason. But you and they—” He pointed to the men at her back. “You are living proof Nobility can defeat this contagion.”

“You’re going to release our secret?”

Rhys, Quinn, and Simon pressed closer, filling the close space in the hallway with protection for their alpha. They were a formidable team, one he was proud to be a part of.

They also looked ready to tear his head off.

“No, I’m going to release your secret to POTUS alone.
