Roman looked up at her. "Your telling me you can regrow a missing hand?"
"Yep. Though I can grow it separately the serum I made is design to regrow the hand or whatever on the body itself. All I need is a sample of the patients blood and I can adapt the serum to the person and inject him."
Roman laughed and patted her back.
Angus stepped up."I have the perfect Patient. He lost his right hand."
Jess looked up at him.
"I'll need a sample of his blood.." She looked around. "Who are you?"
Angus smiled. "I'm Angus MacKay, night security and these are some of my employees. Connor Buchanan, Robby MacKay, Phineas McKinney, Ian MacPhie, Jack Venezia, and Zoltan Czakvar."
Jess's eyes widened when Angus spoke the last two stumbled back a little her eyes sweeping the two men. Like Gregori there was nothing she could not wrong with them.
Roman laugh. "Its okay Miss MacGregor you not in trouble. But I would ask next time you need blood out of the imfirmary sign in a book to let me know you gotten blood and from which vial."
"Yes sir, and please call me Jessica. I never could get used to the miss stuff."
"I'll call the man in."
Jess looked up at Roman. "So I'm not in trouble."
Roman smiled. "No no trouble. You've just been working a little too hard."
Jess looked down. Roman pushed the com button. "Howard send Dougal over to lab 3."
"He's on his way."Jess covered the body parts and leaned on the lab table.
Not a few minutes later a man walked in Jess assumed it was Dougal. He walked up to Roman and folded his arms. Jess saw he was missing his right hand.
"Ye asked for me Roman."
"We may have some good news for you."
Dougal raised a brow. "Really?"
Roman placed a hand on Jess's shoulder. "Jessica here may have devised a way to regrow your hand."
"WHAT?"
"She had a serum that can regrow your hand."
Dougal let out an excited yelp that made everyone jump. Jess gave a small scream when Dougal picked her up and hugged her turning in a circle.
"Thank you lass, you are wonderful."
She was red faced when he sat her on her feet. But before she could turn away Dougal hand put a hand on the back of her neck and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. As he pulled back every started laughing at how red her face was.
Dougal smiled down at her. "What do I have to do."
"I...I'll need some blood."
He held out his arm. Jess grabbed her syringe and a band aid and went back to drew some blood from his arm, After she put the band aid on his arm. She put a drop of his blood in a dish and that into a machine hooked up to her computer. She she put the rest of his blood into a vial she computer beeped. She set the vial and thing in the cooler then looked at her computer.
"Not possible."
Dougal looked up. "Whats wrong."
Jess stared at her computer then turned toward Dougal,Jack,Zoltan, and Gregori. "How the HELL do you four have the same abnormality in your blood you can't all be related."
Dougal looked at Roman who sighed and invaded Jess's mind.
"You see not abnormality. Its normal as yours."
Jess looked at Roman."Yes I do. Something that different in their blood something should be wrong with them."
Roman and the others looked at her as if they couldn't believe her.
"Why are you staring at me like that."
Connor stepped forward. "Wondering lass have ye ever been hit in the head real hard. Or had some problem with ye head."
Jess gasped and with her face red again slapped Connor across the face. "I am not daft."
Connor glared at her his cheek turning red as the blood in the scanner. "Ye shouldn't even be here. The day shift is suspose to be gone by 6 and here it is 9 and yet your still her."
Jess glared back." I hat that I feel asleep but it was worth it to the see hope on Dougal's face, and inform Mr. Draganesti about the experiment."
Someone came in and looked at Jess and Connor. "Excuse me."
In unison Jess and Connor turned and growled. "WHAT?"
Everyone but them started laughing. The man smiled. "Miss MacGregor there is someone outside they said their here to pick you up."
"Thank you." She placed her lab coat on the hook by her desk. She tunrnrd off her machines and shut down her lab top.
"I'll make the calibrations tonight." She placedher computer in her back and grabbed her purse.
Roman stopped her. "Why don't you take tomorrow off catch up on your sleep and work from home. I fix everything."
The look Jess gave him had panic in her eyes. "No sir I'll be here at 6 in the morning I take no days off...." She walked toward the door and softly add. "Not as long as Rex is after me. I can never sleep."
She opened the door and walked out.
Jess wasn't paying attention when she walked out. She noticed the black van and came to a stop. No it couldn't. Sure enought.
"Jessie babe how are you."
She looked up and saw her ex boyfriend Rex. He came around and walked toward her. She noticed he brought his friend this time. Great six against one he never fought fair. Then again that was why she had been in the hospital so much.
"Leave me alone Rex." She backed up.
"Come on Jess lets go home. Your late and it put me in a bad mood you know what happened when I get in a bad mood." He grabbed her wrist.
She winced and he squeezed. "Please Rex let me go and leave me alone."
"Why have you found someone." He yanked on her wrist. "You know your mine. No other man will have you but me."
She whimpered and tried to pull her hand from his grasp."Let me go or your in trouble."
He laughed and turned toward his friend. "Did you hear that boys she said I would be in trouble."
He raised his arm and backhanded her across the face. She fell to the ground her lip bleed in.
"Never threaten me Jess you know what happened last time."
As he smiled Rex's friend Vladimir pulled out a small wooden bat from the van.
"Lets go home and I promise you'll still be able to walk."He reached for her.
She took a deep breathe and quickly jumped away from him. Her purse and computer forgotten she ran toward the Romatech door. There were strong men inside if only she could get inside she would be safe.
Before she reached the door she was tackled from behind. Rex lifted her up by her hair and pulled her toward his friends. Pushing her toward them Lance and Silas grabbed her and held her.
Rex glared at her. "Never run from me." He hit her and she slumped forward.
Roman looked at her. "It seems like she might be in trouble."
Connor growled while he rubbed his cheek. "Who cares."
"Connor!"
"What? The woman slapped me."
Roman laughed, "After you insulted her."
"Whatever?"
Angus laughed. "Turning modern lad?"
"Hell no."
The enter come came on. "Trouble in the parking lot."
Everyone rushed out and headed toward the parking lot. As they came through they saw Jess be held up by two men while the other massaged his they stepped forward he man drove his fist into Jess's stomach. She didn't even move.
Connor, Zoltan, Robby and the other men zoomed forward to help. Angus grabbed Rex and pulled him away while Jack and Phineas took care of Silas and Lance. Connor took Cael and Zoltan grabbed Gunner,Robby was left with Randell. As the security men handled the other men Gregori and Roman came to Jess's side as she lay unconscious. Roman saw the bruises on her face and growled. How could someone do this to a woman.
"Lets get her to the infirmary."
Gregori gently picked her up and followed Roman inside. He gently laid her down on the hospital style bed as Shanna and Radinka walked in.
Radinka gasped as she saw the woman Gregori handled so gently. "What happened to her."
As Greogri and Roman turned Shanna and Radinka saw a fury in them. Roman answered.
"She was attacked by six men mortal apparently one was her boyfriend at one time. He was hitting her probly had been for a why."
He looked at Gregori. "That's why she was all panicked when I suggested a day off. She must feel safe her with security but maybe not anymore."
Gregori growled. "I wish I could tear that one bastard apart."
"Gregori?"
"He deserves it anyone that treats a woman like this should be torn apart."
A few minuted later Angus and the others walked in. Zoltan sat her computer and purse on the table by the bed. Roman looked up.
"The men?"
Angus smiled. "After a few hits we erased their memories and sent them on. I learned that the one called Rex was Jessica's boyfriend apparently she left him and he didn't like that. But he'll not bother her anymore."
"Good it'll give her a break."
Just then Jess moaned and came awake, she quickly sat up and looked around. Roman took her shoulders."Its okay your safe your in the infirmary in Romatech and don't worry Rex and his gang will never bother you again I promise."
She settled back down with a groan. Roman looked at her. "Your gonna be okay."
She snorted. "Yeah right Rex'll be back he always come back. He always finds me."
Gregori sat at the foot of the bed." No he won't believe me. We can be a scared bunch of guy." She looked her over."How do you feel."
"Fine. Believe me this is nothing he's given me worse."
Angus eyes turn fire. "He's hurt you before."
"Yeah that little bat he has he beat me with it a couple of time I been in the hospital a few times. When I finslly got the courage to get away from him he aways found me somehow."
Gregori smiled. "Not anymore. Unless he wants to loos his reason for being male."
Jessica gave a small laugh and looked around and the men."Thank you for saving me."
She looked at Connor his cheek was still read. "Thanks Connor, and I'm sorry about slapping you."
He nodded and looked away. Phineas came in with a tray of food and something to drink.
"I thought you might like something." He sat the tray down. Jess touched his hand.
"Thanks." She ate quickly then laid back on the pillow.
Roman covered her up. "Why don't you rest we'll take care of everything."
No sooner when she closed her eyes she was asleep. Connor looked at Roman.
"She can't stay her all night."
"She can. Before we sleep tomorrow I'll give her a sedative to have her sleep till we wake up."
They left her alone to rest and that morning before Roman went into his death sleep he gave Jess a sedative.
