Chapter1. a new dangerous drug

There is a mafioso kingpin in NY. His name is Dino Golzine. He's developed a new dangerous drug like the "BANANAFISH" for a long time. Today, He came to "The mental health center" from his house because he received contact from one of his scientist about accomplishment of a new drug.

A Jewish scientist whose name is Halliwell Jacobs approached Dino and gave him a greeting in a flattering manner.

"Good afternoon, Monsieur! You're looking well. Thank you for taking the time to come "

Dr. Halliwell is receiving financial assistance from Dino Golzine. He had been doing research for new drug for twenty years. But the research institute he worked had gone bankrupt three years before and he was looking for a new financer. And then, The mental health center that Dino owned hired and supported him. Dino said to him―― "Keep doing your research for rejuvenating drug you're developing"

The mental health center was a perfect research institute for . He couldn't disobey Dino who is the founder of The mental health center.

"…"

Dino just nodded without smiling, and asked .

"Then―― How is the new drug I ordered you?"

"That's great. Here they are."

Halliwell exhibited Dino the boiling tube with some brown-color liquid fluid.

"Have you done the experiments on animals yet? " Dino picked it up.

"Yes, I have. I have done the experiments on some mammals――for example, rats,dogs,cats,horses. As soon as I injected my rejuvenating drug into them, It had an immediate effect―― Any mammals became baby animals."

"Excellent. About how long will have the effort of the drug lasts?" Dino asked him.

"It depends on the dosage of the rejuvenating drug, Some few days later, they will return to their original age. I guess the speed of returning depends on the age of animals. If I inject to a human, I'm sure their body will become younger and then they'll return to normal age one year older each day!"

He was so excited. Dino asked him. "How are their memories and physical reaction?"

"It's Okay. No problem about it. Animals still remember all their past memories like family groups, territories, feeding instincts, rules. They lives normally without a problem."

Dino stared at him excitedly.

"If you inject this to a human, are you certain that we'll get the same results?"

"Well…I think so. But…"

Halliwell had a very bad feeling.

(No, He won't think such a thing…)

But Dino asked him with a ruthless tone.

"Then… you… When and How are you going to do the experiments on a human? "

That statement makes the room suddenly become heavy. Halliwell was upset and replied slowly.

"It might be able to do the experiments on a human through the black-market,but I can't do it."

"Why didn't you do the experiments on a human? I gave you a large budget and a comfortable place to research, right? Did you forget?"

Dino's strong voice made frightened.

Halliwell knows the man is so terrible.

He replied as calm as possible. "But, I think these experiments are inhumane…."

"Oh, you know…" Dino said cruelly.

Halliwell looked at Dino's ice-cold face and got a chill down one's back

Dino draw a gun up and aimed it at Halliwell's forehead.

He said. "Don't you remember? If you don't do the experiments on a human, you'll die."

He was terrified beyond all reason.

"If you don't do the experiments on a human in a week, I'll kill you. You can do the research in heaven. " Dino said menacingly.

"Oh…No!Please have mercy! "

Halliwell sat down on the floor because he is afraid. Dino ignored him and picked the new drug.

"People gets old, but If I use this drug…, I can make other people or myself get young as many times as I want."

The new drug will give Dino a lot of advantages and possibilities―― wealth, power and so on.

Dino is secure of success and then looked at the files which were written about criminal record and some gang's photos. He picked up a file which was written about Ash Lynx.

Dino was so nice to that gang who is good-looking and smart. He trained Ash and gave him special education and manners and, how to use guns. Then, Ash became to be a boss of the gangs.

But Ash got fed up with Dino and He left the mafia group.

Because Dino has pedophiliac tastes and wants Ash to be his successor. He looked at Ash's photo and laughed sneeringly .

***

A week later―― Fire trucks and police vehicles have been driving around NY City since this morning. Sound of sirens are screaming, and then the city is in a different atmosphere.

Ash is walking around Down town carefully. He's felt something bad will happen. He turned on the corner the street, slipped into a dark alley, then found a strange man. A middle-age man who wore hospital robe and is crouching on the ground.

"Hey, Are you Okay?"

Ash asked the strange man.

"OH…"

The man in his early 50s looked Ash, and was so surprised. "You…You are…Ash Lynx…"

As soon as he mentioned Ash's name, he immediately backed away from him.

"Why do you know my name?" Ash looked at the man strangely, because he didn't know about that man.

"In the mental health center, I've seen your photo and the files which were written about criminal record before. I'm getting away from Dino, and I need to talk with you about something that happened there."

Ash glared at the man with a grim look in his eyes, and asked. "Are you a soldier of Dino?"

Ash draw his gun up and pointed at him. So the man quickly explained his situation.

"No! I'm Halliwell Jacobs―― a scientist."

"Are you a scientist? Is it true? Dino is the founder of the mental health center, right? Why have you been chased by Dino?"

The green eyes of Ash glistened. Halliwell is scared and paled, and he said.

"Haven't you heard today's news yet? Burglars broke into the mental health center and the fire started there. But it isn't true…"

"Who was behind it ? Ash asked .

He replied "It's me…."
