A young attorney paced around his three fellow captives. They sat uncomfortably on stacks of canned food and bags of beans. He’d been working himself up for the last ten minutes. The first lines of attack were against Dr. Delva.

“I told you this was a mistake. In fact my exact words were ‘flagrant misuse of science’.”

“You did not.” The old doctor said.

“Really? Then what’s this?” The young man whipped out a tiny hand-held recorder and pressed PLAY. Static hissed before an argument burst to life.

“Don’t you talk to me like that- I’m sensitive!”

“But Doctor we can’t do this. It’s a flagrant misuse of science! You’re breaking the law!”

Sound garbled as the experiment went awry.

The young blond lab assistant smiled at the lawyer and raised a small fist in a give-it-to-him gesture. “Remember- fight the night!”

Doctor Delva turned on her.

“Don’t you dare start too! I didn’t hire you to speak. If I wanted your opinion, Miss Schilly, I’d be sure to ask for it.”

She sighed meekly. “Yes Doctor.”
