Don: “look, Eric, I don’t give a shit about Buckley’s opinion, I want those chemicals this week and I want you to try them in someone, look for a homeless gay and see if it works”

Eric: “sir…, we don’t even know if she has prepared those compounds…”

Don: “well, ask that whore of your girlfriend who works at Genetics, to find out, I need an answer by Monday evening, I have a client who is waiting for it”

Eric: “okay sir…, I’ll do what I can”

Don: “you need to do more than that if you want to preserve your job…, if it’s needed try the product in yourself…, if it makes you gay at least we will know that one of the products work…, I have paid you for serving me since you were in high school, I have sent you to the best university and bail you from jail, I have given you a decent job with a very high salary and I can destroy you if I want…, so, get that information by Monday evening, now go to Cambridge, use the chopper”

Eric: “yes sir”

Eric left the office and went to the platform behind the building to board the Donovan Kennard’s helicopter whose pilot flew him to Imhotep in Cambridge, during the flight, Eric was cursing his mother for making him a bastard child of that cold and nasty man and an unwanted son for his official father, who gave him his last name, knowing the child wasn’t his but his boss’, Don Kennard, is a despicable man, who always wanted to sleep with his employees’ wives to prove his superiority; once in Cambridge Eric called his accomplice lover to talk about Tina’s experiments.

Cambridge, Ma, Friday 10:00 am 

Tina has been working the whole night in her lab, alone, trying to test ‘activators’ and ‘deactivators’ molecules in genes of chimpanzees and bonobos monkeys isolated from their cells in a petri dish; she discovered those substances have anti-carcinogenic activity in those monkeys, she has also discovered that those substances require an additional factor to make them work in what is supposed to be the sexual orientation genes, and she is able to predict the possible composition of that factor, but still she needs to prepare it, so, early morning she asked to her interns and her assistant Max Sweeney to synthesize a series of compounds which could resemble what she calculates in her computer, she knew one of her aids is spying for Imhotep, but she can’t stop her research and as she talked to Bette four weeks ago, the only way to know who is the culprit, is giving them different task and observing which of the results, is leaked to Imhotep; in that opportunity Bette told her that she will find someone to detect the mole; Tina can’t talk to Bette, but James is their link. Among her aids she has Max as her assistant, who is the one supervising and helping the interns, doing so far a very good job; the interns are, in order of seniority, Paige Sobel, Adele Channing, Harry Samchuk, Hunter Kirby, Jamie Chen the old ones in the team, Edward Lacey, Susan Prescod, Nishia Bonko, Pauline Mayer the new ones and the recently hired, since two weeks ago, Lara Perkins, in total seven girls, one of them should be Eric’s contact, at least he already change his sexual preferences, but no, the despicable man still looks at her with lecherous eyes; the traitor could be also Max her transgender assistant, but she discarded this last possibility, Max or ex-Moira has been her most loyal collaborator from the beginning; Tina is exhausted, she has been working overnights, in her lab for a while; but she has invited James for one of her group’s meetings; so she rested in her office for half an hour, and now she is having a meeting with James, her collaborators, and her colleagues:
