Charles stared at the chief in horror. He had known that Charles was conducting an experiment, and had sworn to him on every thing he loved, that he wouldn't turn him in to the government or arrest him.
"You can't go down there!" Charles screeched at the officers who were preparing for their descent.
"And why would that be? You know, the guilty always try to procrastinate. To lie. They'll stab their friends in the back and nearly get them fired from their job, nearly rip apart their family who had been so happy before all of this."
Charles gawked at the chief. "That's not my fault, Peter! You know that! I don't even know how your higher-ups found out..."
Peter growled, tossing Charles aside and headed towards the basement while another officer handcuffed his hands behind his back and yanked him along as he approached the basement. Charles struggled to at least get to his feet so that he wasn't smashing his tailbone against the painful cement stairs.
The two men stumbled down the stairs, revealing the laboratory containing the small fetus and the multitude of machines both small and large. Peter was shouting orders to the officers that were in the basement, commanding them to search every corner of the room to make sure that they had every last bit of evidence.
Upon their arrival, Peter stalked over and glared down at Charles before turning and walking towards a heavy steel door that was locked with a special lock that detects DNA.
"Bring him over here. We need to open the door." Peter demanded simply, watching as the officer who was holding onto Charles dragged him over, followed by unlocking one of his hands and forcing it onto the pad.
Charles winced as a needle pricked his skin, taking a blood sample before opening. What was revealed behind the heavy door surprised everyone except for Charles, who just beamed excitedly.
