Mystery DNA
"Again?" Mole couldn't believe it. Dex nodded, clearly unhappy in his role as messenger boy.
"But it's only been.."
"Six weeks."
"That's the third time."
"I know." Dex said. "Believe me I know. I ran the test six times. But sadly, same response every time. She's pregnant."
"How many this time?"
"Three again."
"Good thing they grow so fast."
"No, it's not." Dex practically wailed. "Think about it. If they carry on like this Max and Alec alone will have 27 this year and the same amount every year and the kids will have that many and the kid's kids will have that many again. There'll be thousands in no time." He stared at Mole in helpless panic.
Mole chewed his cigar thoughtfully. "You know I'm beginning to sympathise with White for wanting to get rid of them."
Dex managed to hide his smile and nodded, waiting for Mole to continue.
"Well, there's only one thing for it, Dex."
"What's that?"
"If we don't want to drown in thousands of little Alecs and Maxs within three years we're gonna have to neuter them. Humane thing to do."
And that really is the end of it folks. This idea, much fun as it was is tapped. Sayonara.
