IBI Field Office - Chicago - Thirty-Four Years Later

“How’s your family holding up?” Agent Nina Johnson placed her right palm on a scanner, unlocking the office door. “I wish you could help us in the field, but a good defense attorney would rip us apart if they found out you’re Debra’s brother.”

“I don’t want to cause you any problems,” Agent Clint Rossetti said and followed her inside. The building’s interior smelled like bread from the sub shop next door, and it was more noticeable after being gone for several months. “Deb seems to be handling it all right, but she’s worried about Josh. Nick was practically his adopted brother when they were kids.”

“I’m sorry,” Nina replied. “We’re doing everything we can, but you know what it’s like here. I may be able to pull in help from Indianapolis and Cincinnati, but I can’t guarantee for how long.”

Clint nodded and sat down at his old desk. Nina had granted him full access to the case file via her account, and he didn’t want to waste her time. He bypassed most of the autopsy photos, but something in one of them caught his attention.

“What are these fragments?” he asked. Nina walked behind him and looked over his shoulder. “They look like shrapnel, but everything I read said it was a single shot.”

“They’re medical implants,” she replied. Clint’s eyebrows rose, given the number of them. “I spoke to William Abbot at AMI about them. Nick Mathis was mapping the long-term progression of his disease so the data could be used to help other patients. The coroner found nanotech in his blood and brain tissue, too‌—‌same function, according to Abbot.”

“I bet transport security loved him,” Clint replied. “Where’s all that data being stored now that Nick’s gone?”

“Abbot wouldn’t tell me. Unless it was relevant to Mathis’s death, we wouldn’t have legal access to it, anyway.”

Clint was about to reply when his phone beeped. He read the message and then stood. “It’s Josh. Sorry, I have to go to Raleigh. Thanks for allowing me to look over the file. If you ever need anything on another case, call me.”

“Is something wrong?”

“I don’t know if you’ll believe me,” he said. Nina crossed her arms. “According to Josh, Nick Mathis cloned himself.”
