Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 686 - Cloning
...***...
"What do you want?"
"I need a sample of her DNA to make her clone. I can't possibly let my marriage break down because Dorothy thinks of me as a murderer. I have to clone him, and bring the boy to see Dorothy."
"But, all this time you've only been cloning animals, will it work for humans?"
"I don't know either, but I have to. I need to be able to clone her so I can maintain my marriage. Therefore, I will need help from you," said Cato. Miles and Martin were silent for a moment, trying to figure out what decision they were going to make before Miles said. "I agree! We will help you, on condition. Keep him as evolver like our original deal."
"Aren't you supposed to perfect that serum again before we use it?"
"I'm going to make the latest version. But it seems like it would be better if I just used the serum straight away, and checked it out on our experiment. That way I can minimize his failures, and make sure which one is better."
"Okay. But of course I also need a tube and a special tool that we'll use to copy his DNA and make the process early from his birth."
"Just a tube?"
"I don't need a uterus for that process. It would be easier if we could confirm the process directly."
"I will prepare" said Martin.
"Follow me!" Martin moved from his place, followed by Cato. They walked out of Miles' room, then went to the room where they kept the failed children through the incubation process. The room they used was like a corpse storage room. Inside the stacked square-shaped place, they kept each body inside there in low air temperature conditions.
While Martin and Cato are busy taking Lucia's DNA, Miles checks the serum and tries to reduce the dose and change the recipe slightly, hoping for the potion to work.

Time has passed since the quarrel with Cato. Neither Dorothy nor Cato had seen each other again for several weeks. During those weeks, Joe and Derek asked where the man who was his father had gone, and Dorothy could only reason that Cato was out of town on a job. The same reason she gave Meredith and her husband when they asked the man.
During those few weeks, Dorothy was completely reluctant to talk to anyone. She also tends to avoid conversations with Meredith and her husband.
Dorothy still felt guilty towards them. But he didn't want to make them even more devastated if he found out that his daughter was dead. During that time, Dorothy tried to keep herself busy by preparing all the process of divorce with Cato. Not only that, Dorothy had even met her best friend Tiana and explained about the case.
Tiana's reaction was so knowing Dorothy knew this was certainly very surprised, especially no one knew at all. Even the police or state officials. And even though Dorothy had said so, Tiana still asked him to provide evidence. Of course it was for people to believe that the news that Tiana would later deliver was true. Dorothy tried to gather the evidence.
