Epilogue
Nearly a week later Harrison finally had his house to himself for the first time in weeks. Judy had managed to accelerate her healing so she and Rupert had headed home. Without her best friend there Tina had left as well. Joe had returned to his house when Judy and Rupert had moved in with Harrison.
Sighing, Harrison stopped in front of his computer taking out the blood tube Judy had given to him. "Artemis, are you up for some science?"
"I am always up for science," came Artemis's response. Joe had remembered the voice from the night he'd been shot so he'd been formally introduced to Harrison's "security" computer.
"Good. Judy was kind enough to give us a sample of her blood. I think this may help us with a few of the problems we've been encountering both with the serum and Plan B." Carefully Harrison prepared a small amount of the blood for analysis.
"Let's see if I'm right."
"Of course Harrison. Are we sharing this information with the rest of the lab?"
"No. I'm still certain they'd try to stop me if they knew what we were doing. As much as I could use their help, we can't bring them into this. It's just you and me Artemis." Harrison sighed and stretched some as he spoke.
"As you wish." Artemis then fell silent, getting to work while Harrison reviewed the work they had already done. Plan B was almost complete but still needed serious work. The serum was harder to judge. Harrison only hoped they could get one of the two working properly. He had debts he intended to repay.
