EQUIPMENT APPROPRIATIONS,
UN-LOGGED MAINFRAME TIME,
ALTERED SUPPLY REQUISITIONS,
ALL POINTING
TO ONE CONCLUSION.
UNAUTHORIZED RESEARCH
IN GENOMEX LABS.
INDEED.
THAT'S A VERY SERIOUS CHARGE.
SO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I
HAD TO BRING IT IMMEDIATELY
TO YOUR ATTENTION.
ABSOLUTELY.
AND DO WE KNOW WHO'S INVOLVED
OR WHAT THEY'RE DOING?
I'M FOLLOWING
SEVERAL LEADS, SIR.
REST ASSURED I
WILL FIND THE CULPRIT.
YOUR DILIGENCE
WILL NOT GO UNNOTICED.
THANK YOU, SIR.
NICE SHOT.
WHAT'S UP?
I THOUGHT I'D
WORK OUT WITH YOU GUYS.
THESE ARE PHYSICAL EXERCISES,
EMMA, NOT MENTAL ONES.
SO?
I CAN BE JUST
AS PHYSICAL AS YOU.
YEAH, I MEAN WHEN IT COMES TO
BENDING SPOONS WITH YOUR MIND,
YOU'VE GOT US BEAT.
BUT...
WE JUST DON'T WANT
YOU TO GET HURT, THAT'S ALL.
OKAY?
OW.
WHAT THE
HELL WAS THAT FOR?
LET'S TRY TO
PLAY NICE, HUH, BOYS?
DONNA'S NOT HERE.
I'VE BEEN RINGING
FOR A FEW MINUTES.
THERE'S NO ANSWER.
CAN YOU GET INTO HER APARTMENT,
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND OUT?
NOT A PROBLEM.
I'LL HAVE
BRENNAN AND JESSE TRY TO FIND
THE DATE FROM LAST NIGHT.
COOL.
YEAH, SHE'S A REGULAR.
I'VE SEEN HER IN HERE WITH
ANY NUMBER OF DIFFERENT GUYS.
YOU REMEMBER SEEING
HER WITH ANYONE LAST NIGHT?
AFRAID NOT.
WOULD YOU REMEMBER
ME IF YOU SAW ME LAST NIGHT?
DID THIS CONVERSATION
SUDDENLY TAKE A TURN?
I HOPE SO.
SO YOU DIDN'T GET
A LOOK AT THE DRIVER?
LIKE I SAID, CAR PULLS UP,
SHE COMES IN FOR A FEW MINUTES,
GOES BACK OUT,
THEY TAKE OFF.
HEY, GUYS,
HOW'S IT GOING?
WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?
THOUGHT I'D SEE IF
YOU NEEDED ANY HELP.
THANKS, EMMA, BUT I THINK
WE'RE DOING FINE ON OUR OWN.
SO WHAT'D YOU FIND OUT?
BARTENDER'S
FREE TOMORROW NIGHT.
JUST THINK ABOUT THE
CAR, EVERYTHING YOU SAW.
LOOK,
I ALREADY TOLD THESE GUYS.
I KNOW.
JUST THINK.
QRF 592.
THE LICENSE PLATE, RIGHT?
YEAH.
DOES THAT HELP?
YEAH, BIG TIME.
I'M NOT USED TO LOSING,
BUT I COULD GET USED TO IT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN DONNA'S APARTMENT?
I COULD ASK
YOU THE SAME THING.
WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE?
OPEN UP OR I'LL CALL THE POLICE.
SO, GOT A NAME?
SHALIMAR.
YOU'RE A FRIEND OF DONNA'S?
MORE OR LESS.
NOW WHO ARE YOU?
DONNA AND I HAVE
A STANDING APPOINTMENT.
REALLY?
ARE YOU A MARRIED MAN?
AH, NO,
NOTHING LIKE THAT.
I'VE BEEN TREATING HER.
TO WHAT?
OH, YOU'RE GOOD.
OBVIOUSLY.
I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET
HER HERE THIS MORNING.
AND IF SHE DOESN'T SHOW UP,
YOU JUST LET YOURSELF IN?
NO,
THAT'S WHY SHE GAVE ME THIS.
ANY IDEA WHERE SHE IS?
I DON'T KNOW.
LOOKS LIKE SHE SPLIT.
I KNEW SHE
WAS LEAVING TOWN BUT NOT
BEFORE HER FINAL TREATMENT.
YEAH.
WHAT ARE THESE TREATMENTS?
I TOLD YOU I'D CALL THE POLICE.
THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY.
MY CAR'S OUT FRONT.
MY BIKE'S OUT BACK.
EYEBROWS WEREN'T
QUITE THAT HEAVY.
AND HE HAD THESE CUTE DIMPLES,
RIGHT HERE.
LIKE THAT?
THAT'S HIM.
NOW WHAT?
NOW WE'LL CROSS-REFERENCE HIS
FACE WITH ALL THE PERTINENT
DATABANKS AND
SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND.
THIS GUY REALLY
GOT TO YOU, DIDN'T HE?
IT WAS LIKE BAM, THE SECOND
WE LAID EYES ON EACH OTHER.
AN INSTANT
FERAL ATTRACTION.
NO, IT WAS MORE THAN THAT.
I MEAN, YOU HEAR ABOUT
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
IT'S BASICALLY A SUDDEN
SHIFT IN BRAIN CHEMISTRY.
IN YOUR CASE, ACCELERATED
BY YOUR SHARED MUTANCY.
BELIEVE ME, ADAM,
MY BRAIN HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH WHAT WENT ON BACK THERE.
OF COURSE IT DID.
YOU FOUND YOURSELF IN
A HIGHLY CHARGED SITUATION.
THE DOPAMINE AND PHENYLETHAMINE
RELEASED IN YOUR BRAIN
CREATED A EUPHORIA.
SIMULTANEOUSLY,
THE NOREPINEPHRINE
TRIGGERED AN ADRENALINE
RELEASE WHICH STIMULATED
FLUSHED CHEEKS, HEAVY BREATHING,
SWEATY PALMS AND THIS SUDDEN
SHIFT PROBABLY TRIGGERED A
LIMBIC SYSTEM TAKEOVER, ALLOWING
REDUCED INTEGRATION WITH
YOUR CORTEX, RESULTING
IN FEELINGS OF INFATUATION.
WHATEVER.
I WAS HOT.
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING WITH MY COMPUTER?
IT'S A GENOMEX COMPUTER.
WE JUST WORK HERE.
DOESN'T EXPLAIN
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
WORK AUTHORIZATION SAYS
YOU'VE GOT A FROZEN HARD DRIVE.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH MY HARD
