Chapter 13

"So, the lovebirds have finally honored us with their presence!" Dean announced as Tiny and Elle walked into the dining room. "And you are..." He looked down at his watch. "five minutes late. What's wrong, Tiny? Are you slowing down?"

Tiny flipped him off. "Nice one, old man." He walked to the dining room table and pulled out a chair for Elle next to Jeri.

She smiled her thanks and sat down. Tiny pulled out a wooden dining chair next to hers and sat as close to her as he could get. Daniel found more info on the Agency and was eager to share his findings with everyone. With the plain wooden dining table and various nature themed paintings the room looked more suited to a corporate board meeting than an intelligence meeting. Everyone was tense except little Natalie who was napping in Anne’s arms.

Tiny noticed Daniel’s hair was brushed back and he was freshly shaved. “Hey Daniel, you’re looking better!” Tiny wrapped his arm around the back of Elle’s chair.

“Thanks.”

"Ok, so now that we're all here, Daniel's got some new information that he wants to share." Keith announced and then sat down.

Everyone turned to Daniel. He tapped a few keys on his tablet. "I've been tracking and searching through all the information that was on Karen Aimes's computer to learn more about this Agency." The mini projector in the center of the table projected an email on the bare wall.

"This is an email where she talks about the research she was conducting on Keith's DNA."

Tiny saw Keith tense as he read the email.

"This confirms what she told us about mixing Keith’s sperm with Jeri’s eggs and implanting those embryos in surrogates. None of them took and there was only one embryo left."

"The one that broke when we were rescuing Keith." A slight tremble laced Jeri’s voice.

"Yes." Daniel continued. "Most of her emails and data correspond with genetics and her wanting to produce a gifted individual she would eventually clone."

"What a sick bitch," Keith muttered, his arms crossed as he sat and listened.

"Well, since we went in and destroyed her work, that won't happen." Tiny casually wrapped his arm around the back of Elle's chair.

"Thank goodness." Helen spoke up.

"But there is something else I discovered that's disturbing." He pressed a few keys and a medical report popped up. "Karen was in the hospital for a brief period and then transferred to a rehab institute since the doctors thought there was brain damage that occurred to cause her to not be able to speak."

No one looked at Elle, but she still felt like sinking into her chair.

"You did what you had to do, Elle," Kenneth reassured her.

Tiny reached over and squeezed her hand. "You saved me, remember that."

Elle nodded and looked back at the image and froze. Her eyes widened. "Pregnant?" she whispered.

"What?" Dean asked.

Tiny's head whipped around and skimmed through the report.

"Elle read it correctly. Karen Aimes is pregnant," Daniel responded.

The room grew silent. Tiny started to do the math in his head.
