Chapter 5: Bite
" Where have you been?" Dr. Andrew Green asked his daughter.
" I've been busy alright, I'm sorry." I put down my school bag, which held the money I received 30 min's ago, and approached my father.
" Your always late Alex, why can't you just be on time for once?"
" I'm sorry dad, I never knew I was an employee of yours, last time I checked I was your daughter!" I yelled.
" Alex. you are my daughter"
" Oh I am? Too bad you can't treat me like one."
" Alex " He looked at me, then turned away and walked back to his desk.
" For once in your life dad, could you try and put your daughter first instead of your work?" I asked.
" I will, as soon as I finish dealing with these super spiders." He said this in an almost pleading voice.
" See, always your work first!" I glared at him, and then through my hands in the air frustrated with my father, " I can't believe I'm having this conversation with you again, you never change, so why do I even bother?" He turned to look at me and said
" Alex.I promise things will change!" he proclaimed
I looked at him, wanting to believe every word, but I knew better, " Will see dad." We both stood there looking at each other in till I broke the silence, " So what do you want me to do?"
He looked at me, and walked towards me and began "We lost one of our super spiders the other day, it's the same one that got out of its cage a few months ago." he stopped for a moment and then directed me to the spiders cage, " We just found the spider this afternoon, but none of us has been able to capture it, since Dr. Curt Conner's, made a unexpected visit, to check out the super spiders-"
" Let's cut this story short dad," I interrupted him " you want me to capture this spider and put it back in its cage, right?"
"Right" he smiled, liking how quick I caught on, " Here's a cup to capture it." He handed me the cup, and then pointed to where it was. I pulled up my sleeves and headed towards Mr. Ugly - the spider.
' Know your most probably wondering how a 16 year old girl, can stand these creepy crawlers? And the truth is, I can't stand these things one bit, but I've done this ton of times and have gotten use to them. That's usually the case every Friday, a spider gets out and I come here and take care of it.'
I walked over to the spider and looked at it, it was under a plastic cup, a bunch of holes were on the top of the cup, so the creepy crawler could breath. I knelt before the spider, and said " Ok Mr. Ugly, time to go in your cage."
I lifted the cup off of him and almost immediately it started to move towards me. " Oh no you don't, your not going on any more adventures." I set the cup in front of him, and then used my other hand to bring him in. But to my surprise he had other ideas, he jumped on the cup, and then on to my arm.
" Jesus you can jump " he started to crawl on my arm slowly, I immediately grabbed the cup and pushed it in the back of him, hoping to scoop him up, but like I said he had other ideas, and that other idea is biting me, " Ahhh " I cried in pain as he sank his teeth into my skin, I reacted quickly by pushing the cup in till it was over him, and then I lifted the cup so it was vertical and the spider wouldn't get out. I got up and dashed to the empty cage, I opened the door to the cage and then tipped the cup so Mr. Ugly could fall in side. As soon as it was in I closed the door and moved away from the cage.
" You done Alex?" My father asked as he stood up from his desk.
" Yeah I'm done." I replied as I looked at my aching arm.
" Good, you ok?"
' I don't know dad, I was just bitten by a super spider,' " Yeah I'm fine" I replied still looking at the bite which was getting swollen and red. ' It's like a bee sting nothing more, so your going to be ok Alex, it's nothing big, just a spider' I told my self, but then was interrupted by my fathers voice.
" Dr. Conner's, what are you doing back here at the lab? " My father asked as I looked over to see my dad shacking hands with his boss.
" I just forgot some papers," Dr. Conner's answered quickly.
I pulled down, my sleeves so not to show the bite on my arm, and then approached my father and Dr. Conner's who was gathering papers off a desk. " Ah Alex, I would like you to meet Dr. Conner's, my boss." My father said cheerfully, Dr. Conner's looked away from the desk and then to me and smiled.
" Hello Alex, it's very nice to meet you, your dad has told me much about you." he smiled and shook me hand.
" It's very nice to meet you too Dr. Conner's, your work is amazing by the way, I've followed your work ever since you started to work with my father."
" Really? Well Alex it's just not me who works on this Spider project, it was originally your fathers idea." He replied.
" True, but the laser that you built, that was your idea and you built it and also the super computer that controls the laser you built it also, it's amazing." I pointed out, knowing at the same time my father was smiling at my knowledge of science and the future of science.
" Why thank you Alex, listen as soon as it's completely up and running I'll give you a call and get you a ticket to a seminar about what it can do, ok?"
" That would be great Dr. Conner's, thank you very much!" I said happily
" You're very welcome, now you must excuse me I must go or I'll be late for a meeting."
" Of course." My father said as he shook Dr. Conner's hand then mine, then turned and left out the main doors of the building.
" I should get going too dad, I'm tired and not feeling the greatest at the moment." I said as I clutched my arm.
" Ok Alex, I'll see you later, and why aren't you feeling well?" He asked.
" Lack of food I guess" I said, hoping he would buy it and he did.
" Ok, I'll see you later and eat something!"
" Yes dad." I grabbed my bag and headed out the door it was 5:30 pm.
