Jonathan smiled. "We'd better get out of here…" he said.
"It's done…" Dinah smiled, the look on her face one of pure bliss, euphoria even.
"Not quite yet…" Jonathan said.
Dinah followed him back to her car.
"The samples…" he said.
Dinah smiled. "Right…" she said, pulling a tape out of her pocket. "Here you go…"
"Get us to the airport…" Jonathan said. "I can do this while you drive…"
Dinah put the keys into the ignition and started to drive.
Jonathan played the tape of Cassie's voice and smirked. "I just love computers…" he smiled. "I hope you're awake, Mommy Dearest…"

Jeffrey grabbed Sandy and threw him over his shoulder. The adrenaline rushing through his system more than enough to fuel his already superior strength.
"Damn it! Put me down!" Sandy yelled, struggling against him. "What the hell is wrong with you? Jesus Christ, Jeffrey, put me down!"
Jeffrey ran out of the house with Sandy over his shoulder, making it just past his car before he could feel the force of the blast behind him. He stumbled and fell onto the ground, quickly moving to shield Sandy's smaller body with his own.
From his position on the ground Sandy couldn't see what was going on, but he could certainly hear it, the blast so loud that it hurt his ears. It took a few seconds for his brain to process what had just happened. And so he made no move to pull out from underneath Jeffrey, something about being in that position making him feel momentarily safe.

"I don't sleep as well without you here, Bud…" Reva said, looking over at the picture on the nightstand. She'd had a bad feeling lingering over her all day long. And maybe that was why it was so hard for her to sleep. She almost jumped when she heard the phone ring. "Hello…" she said, picking it up.
Jonathan smiled as he typed the words on the keyboard. "Hello… Reva…"
"Cassie?" Reva asked. "It's four-o-clock in the morning! Is everything all right? Are you ok?"
"Reva… I need you to get to the farm now… It's… An emergency…"
"Cassie, what's going on? What's wrong? Do you want me to call the police?"
"No cops… Please… Reva… It's nothing like that… I just need my big sister… Please… This… Just can't wait…"
"I'll be right over, ok…" Reva said, before the line abruptly went dead. She jumped out of bed and hurried to get dressed before grabbing her car keys and heading out the door.

Jonathan laughed. "Now it's done…" he smiled. "Mommy Dearest is on her way to the farm…"
Dinah smiled. "And we're on our way outta town…." she said.
