Prologue

Summer 1976

Louis stared at his wife Anna who was calmly laying on the examination table getting scanned.

"She'll be okay I promise you," said Adam to the nervous Louis. "The procedure will not harm her. It helps us find what is wrong with her reproductive system. Then once we pinpoint the problem, we can try and fix it."

"I know. I just hate doctors. Never had a good experience with them yet," grumbled Louis.

Adam clapped Louis on the back before walking over to the five-year-old boy sitting at the computer. "So Bradley, do you see where the problem is?" Adam asked the youngster.

"Yes Adam. It's her Fallopian tubes. They are misshaped which caused them not to mature correctly. It can easily be fixed."

"Good boy. Please print out your solution and we'll get started," Adam said, ruffling the boy's hair as he walked out of the room.

Bradley sat there and allowed himself for one moment to enjoy the sensation. No one else touched him except Adam. Adam treated him like he was alive and not some genius freak.

"Daydreaming is for children, Mr. Bradley. If you do not do your job, I will send you back to private school," the doctor that walked into the lab said.

Bradley quickly hid his scowl. He hated Bob McPayne with a passion. Bob always squealed to Mr. Eckhart every time he felt Adam or Bradley didn't do their jobs correctly.

"Mr. Eckhart would like to see you in his office right now. You may go. I will finish in here."

Swallowing back his rage, Bradley left the room and went to see what Mr. Eckhart wanted from him.

Later that night, Bradley crept into the room that Louis and Anna were sharing. Neither adult would wake up for hours because they had been given sedatives in their food.

Bradley gazed at them for a long moment before gesturing the two agents at the door to pick Anna up and take her to the lab.

Once there, Bradley signaled Eckhart on the comm to let him know everything was ready.

"Proceed," Eckhart said emotionlessly.

Quickly and efficiently, Bradley removed some of Anna's eggs from her ovaries. He then inserted into the eggs the altered sperm taking from Louis. The DNA sequences had been changed. After fertilizing Anna's eggs, Bradley reinserted all the eggs but one into Anna's ovaries. The last one he placed in her fixed Fallopian tubes. He quickly finished the procedure.

"You may take her back now," Bradley gestured regally to the guards. The guards picked up Anna and left. Eckhart entered the room smiling.

"Good work, Bradley. Giving them stimulants to motivate their sex drives and then sedating them so you could do the impregnating procedure on the female using altered eggs was a brilliant plan. You will make the GSA proud one day. Well, bedtime, young man."

Eckhart, with Bradley in tow, turned out the lights and left the lab.

The next morning dawn clear and bright. Adam grinned as he walked the young couple to their car.

"Thanks again for everything, Adam," Anna said as she hugged the sweet doctor.

"You're welcome. Take care of yourselves and good luck with any children you have," Adam replied as he hugged Anna back.

"Oh, we will. Hopefully we'll have those children and, if we have a son, we'll name him after you," Louis said, shaking Adam's hand before getting into the car.

The couple waved as they drove off. Adam walked back into the building grinning. No one noticed the little boy watching from the window with a pleased smile on his face.
