The Cure
Chapter 1
„Hello ladies and gentlemen. My name is Christina Young and I'm going to introduce you to the result of our research for a vaccine against stomach cancer" introduced Christina herself to the audience in front of her. Christina was a scientist and she believed that she just developed a vaccine against stomach cancer. The people in her audience were the heads of pharmaceutical groups and hospitals. "I made several rows of tests on rats, rabbits and monkeys. In each of them didn't appear the slightest signs of cancer in the digestive tracts. Another row of tests also proved, that if one of the animals was infected the vaccine as well helped the body to fight more effective against the illness" she carried on. Christina was a very young scientist with only 24 years of age but already very successful. She had a normal built body with blonde hair that she usually wore in a ponytail. She also never used makeup because it was forbidden in the lab. Her face had a smooth oval shape and her light brown eyes were the most noticed thing about her. Christina was single because she loved her job too much, she spent more time than she had to in her lab and sometimes even slept there.
After the presentation she gave everyone in the audience a copy of her concept and then went into the kitchen to get a coffee and relax. As she arrived there was already her friend Matt there. Matt was a tall man with black hair and ice blue eyes. He was only two years older than Christina and one of her best friends. "Hey there!" she greeted him. "Hi Chris! How was the presentation?" he asked as he turned around to talk to her. "It went…..okay. They said they would think about it. Let's wait for an answer. I hope they will use it though, or else would a lot of work end on the dump" she answered and got a cup of coffee. "What were you reading here?" she asked him as she saw the newspaper on the table and took it to leaf through the pages. "Just some news to kill the time. The murder series is still not stopped. It is really scary to go out lately" he explained to Christina. "Hey it's six! Shall I drive you home?" offered Matt and hoped that she would say yes. "I'm not sure, I thought I w---" she tried to answer but Matt cut the sentence: "No, just no. Don't say you want to spend another night here, or even walk in the middle of the night walk home. On your own even. I'll take you home"
"Fine, just let me grab my stuff" resigned Christina and collected her papers and got her purse. "Let's go" she said.
