Helena: “wow, that is really interesting, and…, is that possible in humans?”

Bette looks at Tina, who answers.

Tina: “absolutely, many diseases have been produced because of pollution and toxins in the environment, as the case of several types of cancers that are reported as inherited conditions or high risk for the descendants, but now we can reverse that”

At that moment Kit and her band are ready to play and Alice approaches the group with a server bringing a tray full of alcoholic beverage which is distributed among the group, Alice brings also a glass with orange juice for Tina, who doesn’t like alcohol; the group of invitees goes close to the stage to greet the musicians, the boys played and Kit sang for over forty minutes to the delight of the guests, then the buffet tables were crowded by the different visitors; Tina makes a line close to James, and Bette, of course, align behind of them; Jodi, and her friend Amy move close to Bette; when they got their food on their plates, Bette, James, and Tina sit in a sofa to eat and talk, until a tall and thin Howie Fairbanks, stands in the front staring at them, James immediately understands the silent call and walks toward him, leaving Bette and Tina alone.

James: “excuse me, girls…”

Tina: “it’s okay”

After two uncomfortable minutes.

Bette: “you said there is something you want to tell me…, if it’s personal, we could talk later when we leave”

Tina: “it’s not personal, Bette, but we need to be very discrete”

Bette: “is it about Imhotep?”

Tina: “yes…, but is even more than that…, I mean is something really serious”

Bette: “everything about them is serious and dangerous…, I don’t want you there”

Tina: “Bette…, you know I have no choice”

Bette: “we could disappear and go to another country, we will be together”

Tina: “Bette… please…, think…, what about your family, your mom, and dad, what about Kit…, and my mother…”

At that moment Candace approaches them and sits beside Bette, who now is feeling a little irritated.

Candace: “Bette, I was looking for you…, aren’t you going to introduce me to your friend?”

Bette: (fuming and sighing) “Tina…, I want to introduce you to Candace… Candace…, sorry what is your last name?”
