''MY LAWWD...I Mean...My goodness...So this is your uh identical twin sister that you told me about five years ago, Dr. Talbert..." said Dr. Bombay..A Doctor and genticist that Monique insisted Monica see the next day..
"Good Ole Sis, always looking out for me."Monica thought..
She could tell this man was a lech, more lecherous than most.. The way he looked at Monique and the thoughts in his mind..
involving Monique..
"Monicaaaa... oh my god, you're even more beautiful in person than you are in the photos your sister showed me three years before when I had an office in Lemuria." he said smiling from ear to ear.
Monica was beginning to think this visit was a mistake..
''Well your physical is done and you have a clean bill of health...I take it you fared well after the past 72 hours of that dreaded Red Moon." he said.
"You're a mutant too aren't you?" said Monica , who scanned his mind.. Monique had told her he was a good doctor and a geneticist, but she had not told her he was a mutant..or that she had told him she was a mutant. Monique, unlike a lot of other people knew how to hide some of her thoughts deep inside her subconscious so that her sister couldn't readily find them ,unless she were really looking.
"Yes I am...and I know all about you..You see , your sister met with me some years ago in Lemuria to determine if she too might be a mutant...like you..She isn't..I did a complete DNA test on her.. And I revealed to her that I, like you and your mother, who I would love to meet and examine are also mutants."said Dr. Caleb Bombay..who levitated into the air...He had the power to control air currents around him..
II-
They had been been talking for weeks...He was going to test her DNA and decide once and for all if she was a mutant...
She was buzzed into the building that housed Dr. Bombay....
"Welcome.. Welcome Dr. Talbert... After all this face timing and talking, we uh finally meet." he said.
He was about ten years her senior...A nice looking man, Brown skinned athletic build...Who looked more like an athlete than a Doctor...
''Sit down, Sit down...Have some coffee." he said as he pushed a button and his Kureig made them both tumblers of hot coffee..
"Cream?? Sugar? " he asked..
"I think I might be.."said Monique.
He was one of the top practicioners of Genetics in the area...Monique had read his two books about Genetic Mutations and his studies on Mutants when she was in med school..She had only recently got in touch with him through social media..
He was still checking her out...
''Uh What makes you think you might be...Do you have any mutants in your family?" he asked.
Doctor Bombay was stunned..
"Thank you..."she said..
"She's a Homicide Detective..."said Monique..
"No.No..No..What kind of powers does she have..?" he asked.
"Oh, she can read minds...She hears thoughts and she can feel emotions if she's close enough to you.."said Monique..
"Ahhhhhh, a number of mutants have that ability..." he said.
"Lawd Jesus!" he exclaimed... "Is this a recent photo?" he asked, eyes practically bulging out of his head..
Monique laughed..
"What a horn dog" , she thought....
"Yes..She and my dad...are very happy ". she said. ..Showing him a photo of her father..
''A very lucky guy...Any other siblings?" he asked.
"Your mother...What powers does she have?" he asked..
"Myyyyyyyy Myyy Myyyyyyyyyyyy.." he said...
"And your dad is just a normal human being?" he asked.
"What?"
"What if I have powers that I don't know about? Powers that were not detected..."she said.
"Well what kind of powers do you think you have Monique...You don't move objects, you can't read minds or feel emotions like your mother and sister..What is it you think that makes you special?" he asked..
"My Phernomes!" she said...
"Phernomes?" he asked...
"This is a joke right?" he said.
"It makes perfectly good sense.....You're both beautiful, sexy women...It's not because she's a mutant....If she didn't have a super power in the world..She'd still have guys reacting the way they do....Maybe some guys like your red hair better than they do your sister's dark hair...Maybe they like your breathy voice...If your sister is a Homicide Detective...I'm guessing she has a more aggressive and assertive personality." he said.
"Cool." said Monique
Dr. Bombay tested it....
TWO HOURS LATER-
Monique was sitting up when he walked in the office...
"I studied your DNA completely and ran three tests....YOU ARE NOT A MUTANT Dr. Talbert...You're a normal human being...And there is nothing wrong with that." he said smiling..
"Wow...So my fiancé is just a horn dog who can't keep his hands off of me..."she said.
"I'm afraid so....His love and excitement about being married to you is 100 percent genuine Monique..." he said. He thought- "Lucky Bastard,,,I don't blame him..If I was involved with her...I'd screw the panties off of her..." He was so glad she couldn't read his thoughts.
"Wow....I'm kind of relieved to know that....By the way Doc.. Anyway to calm him down just a little?"she asked.
"Yes...Wear a Potato sack." he said and they both busted out laughing....
"You are sooo bad doc....How do you know so much about mutants anyway?" she asked..
He smiled..He extended his arms and he began to fly..Glide actually...
"I'm a mutant myself....I can control the air currents around me...This allows me to fly short distances...for awhile...You should see me when I'm on the surface on a windy day...I don't need my car..." he laughed..
"WOWWWWW!" exclaimed Monique.
He smiled..He extended his arms and he began to fly..Glide actually...
"I'm a mutant myself....I can control the air currents around me...This allows me to fly short distances...for awhile...You should see me when I'm on the surface on a windy day...I don't need my car..." he laughed..
"WOWWWWW!" exclaimed Monique.
Monica had scanned both Monique and Dr. Bombay's minds for the entire story of their first encounter..
She had to admit...His memories were more interesting, humorous.. It felt great having her powers back.
"Monica you said that your Gynecologist drugged you...Kidnapped you and extracted blood from you...And you fear he injected it in himself to somehow have your powers? That seems strangely odd and frighteningly familliar.." said Dr. Bombay..
"How do you have a conversation with her? Seems like you wouldn't get a word in..She knows what you're going to say before you say it." he laughed.
"When I was in Med School, he was one of my teachers, a brilliant man...Just Brilliant...
Dr. Oran Faustus...He wrote several books and several studies on advanced Genetics..Somewhere along the line he got interested in Mutants...He studied them , cultivated them and then went too far.. He kidnapped several of them and was running experiments, illegal experiments .. He was captured by the FBI...
He was stripped of his medical license and imprisoned for ten years and then released...He vanished..but one thing I remember him working on was this theory of importing Hybrid DNA into humans and of Humans gaining the super powers of mutants...Seems like your gynecologist beat him to it."said Dr. Bombay...
''With Hormonal imbalances..Imbalances that in a normal human would go on overdrive.."said Dr. Bombay...
"He'd have them for maybe a day or two and then they would wear off..He'd need to have regular full transfusions in order to keep them...but we don't know the full effect it might have on his body...It might possibly kill him...I hope you guys find him as soon as possible...but I can't keep thinking that he got this idea from someone else...Dr. Faustus..Did you Gynecologist know you were a mutant?" asked Dr. Bombay.
He was blushing......Monica was not an ordinary girl, not an ordinary mutant either.
III-
Monica had taught me to watch people's body language... That more than anything else was a dead giveaway to whether they were being truthful or not.. Everything about her body language was telling me that she was lying..but I had no concrete proof and worse...I had no search warrant.
I wished she were with me..With her mutant powers to actually hear people's thoughts and feel their emotions, she would have known off the bat if Dr.. Cornbluth were being truthful or not.
"It's pretty cold in here....You work here alone?" asked Kylie..
"Yes...Yes I do work alone...This is a laboratory...It has to stay cold because of the samples and vaccines I keep in here...Now if you two detectives don't mind...I have work to do...If I hear from or see Dr. Circle ,I will tell him to get in contact with you..I trust you have a Business Card?" asked Julie Cornbluth.
"I certainly do." I said.
I handed her my Card.
DETECTIVE NATE NELLIS
HOMICIDE UNIT
PHILADELPHIA POLICE DEPARTMENT
(XXX) XXX XXXX
"It's very important he contact us." I said.
"Oh...Oh of course...I'll tell him.."said Dr. Cornbluth..
Kylie looked around..
She noticed two hot steaming cups of coffee...but she didn't say anything.
We headed back to the Squadroom...
"I peeped that too...I sure wished Mo-Mo had of been with us...She would have detected the outright lie.. We need a warrant and we need to go back...and I mean quick.."I said.
While back at the Laboratory..
"I thought they'd never leave...My coffee was getting cold.. Did you take care of our good Dr. Circle.?" asked Oran Faustus.
Dr. Cornbluth sighed.
"Yes.. I gave him..a large dosage of Midazolam...A sedative that would keep him asleep..I mixed it in with his Hot Cocoa...Also mixed in with it was Vecuronium Bromide, which Causes Paralysis and
Potassium Chloride which Stops the Heart. .. He drank the Hot Cocoa cocktail and drifted off...I checked him 45 minutes later ...He was dead! The body is in the freezer in the basement.."said Dr. Cornbluth..
"Good, put him in a body bag...I've paid some guys to weight him down and drop him in the river.." Such unpleasent business....Such a failed experiment. We've got to get out of here..."said Dr. Faustus..
Dr. Julie Cornbluth looked at him...She was convinced that he was truly mad..... She hadn't signed up for this ,she thought.
IV-
TWO HOURS LATER-
"They knew we were coming back....It looks like they got out of here fast....They left a lot behind...Come here, look at this..."said Lt. Cotton..
"His notes seem to talk a lot about Eugenics.." I said.
" Did you make that up?" asked Kylie.
I laughed and showed them the documents I found.. " No...Eugenics is the science of improving a human population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. Developed largely by a cat named Francis Galton as a method of improving the human race, it fell into disfavor only after the perversion of its doctrines by the Nazis during World War II... This guy has books and written notes for some kind of disertation on this as well as papers on Mutants , their DNA and interbreeding between Mutants and Human Beings....and it's not Dr. Circle...It's somebody named Oran Faustus.." I said.
"Oh yess..I forgot you had a little bit of college Nate." said Lt. Cotton, smiling..
"My baby has a sexy bod and brains...That's why I love him..."said Monica.. "Funny you should mention Oran Faustus... Monique and I learned about him earlier today...Dr. Oran Faustus...He wrote several books and several studies on advanced Genetics..Somewhere along the line he got interested in Mutants...He studied them , cultivated them and then went too far.. He kidnapped several of them and was running experiments, illegal experiments .. He was captured by the FBI...
He was stripped of his medical license and imprisoned for ten years and then released...He vanished..but one thing Dr. Bombay said he remembered him working on was this theory of importing Hybrid DNA into humans and of Humans gaining the super powers of mutants..This is his photo and his rap sheet.."said Monica.
She pulled out her phone and pulled his photo up..
"I think Dr. Circle was just the tip of the iceberg Lieutenant...I think Dr. Faustus is alive and operating here in Philadelphia..I think he's the string puller...I think he's who we should be looking for."said Monica.
TWO DAYS LATER-
'' One of the people on the uh pleasure cruise that leaves from Aquaport over to the entry to Octopus Gardens saw the body weighted down...We thought we'd call you." said the Coast Guard Officer..
We were right outside Aquaport..
"Thanks for the heads up Richie."said Lt. Cotton...
We watched as the body was being removed from the water it was already in a body bag..
"It's cold...The water is cold and it's already in a body bag.. I suspect it will be well preserved..provided the body hasn't been dead that long.." I said.
''You're trying to turn me on aren't you? All this intellect." joked Monica.
''Is it working?" I whispered in her ear..
Kylie said- "Okay here it is..Open her up.."
The man we were looking for ,for Monica's kidnapping, for the rape of a young woman and the rape and murder of a prostitute was dead, in a body bag...and very well preserved..
(CONCLUSION NEXT)
