(Meanwhile back in the back office with Rin and Jack)

"Wow! look at that!"

"I know amazing right?"

"its impressive, but why is it growing so fast?"

"That happens sometimes, im still learning to control it."

Jack leaned away from the eyepiece. "So these nanomachines are inside you right now?" Jack asked. "No, not these... older versions, but something is causing them to deteriorate... thankfully this batch hasnt gone haywire like the Lucid project. Jack scratched his head as he played with the mouse in the cage. "So your running out of time then? have you ran human trials yet? Jack asked nervously. "not yet, but if Harry here eats that block of cheese than im going to right away. currently the nanobeta serum likes to fix things too much and tends to make hypersensitivity a huge setback."

Jack stuck his metallic finger through the cage to try and get the three legged mouse's attention, but it just kept staring at itself in the tiny mirror. Both let out an equal sigh as time passed before them. "I saw your father the other day..." Jack said hesitantly. Rin's eyes grew wide. "Did you? how is he? is he still helping out that free clinic in Beta?" Rin asked excitedly. Jack stayed silent.... "Hes still up to his old ways, you can be sure of that." Jack muttered. "Thats good im glad hes helping people... make sure to tell him his little girl misses him next time okay?" Rins smile was bright and genuine but Jack couldnt bare to look up. "Sure... sure ill tell him." He said with a smile.

Rin looked up at her holotab and noticed it said 3:45pm. "Did you manage to get the extention for your green eyed friend out there?" Rin asked playfully. "Took a bit of negotiating, but the call will definately get delayed a few hours. most likely around Midnight." Jack stated. "Have you told her about Michelle yet?" Rin stared at the desk not wanting to see the look on Jacks face. "No... and if i recall i havent told you either." He said hesitantly. Rin kept quiet as she pulled up a small article on her holopad. "You didnt need to... you talk in your sleep and i put the pieces together. "

A news blog online shown a small article with the headlines. "Detective takes bribe and pays the price." a small paragraph states about how a Beta local detective has a run in with a couple local gangs. Caught taking bribes to look the other way during their wars and prostitution ring and sold out the entire thing afterwards. Jack couldnt bare to read the last part. "Local detective targeted by Diez-Setentas Gang in an attempted murder resulting in the casualty of a Michelle Roman, beloved sister of Jack Roman." Rin stated out loud. "GET OUT!" Jack yelled. Rin jumped out of her seat suprised of his reaction. "GET THE FUCK OUT-leave me alone!" Jack said tossing the holopad across the room. Rin quickly left and closed the door behind her. tears pouring from her eyes.She quickly cleaned her cheeks as she walked up towards Kate. "Jacks gonna take a quick rest in the office so im here to help you if you need it." Rin gave a quick sniff to clear her sinuses. "Doctor Rin Emris Stone at your service." She joked.
