Two people in lab coats, a man and woman, worked along side him silently, but thoroughly, turning dials and checking the monitors.“It doesn’t appear to be working, doctor,” the woman finally concluded.“Dammit!” the doctor exclaimed.  “But it was working yesterday when we applied it.  Why isn’t it now?  Are you sure you gave him the correct dosage?”“150 cc’s, just like yesterday.”  The woman looked down at the boy’s face.  “Perhaps he’s already grown an immunity to it?”“Impossible!” The doctor’s wrinkled brow furled.  “We’ve detected no regenerative capabilities in this elite.  The process should have worked when reapplied.  Take him back.  We’ll try again on a different subject tomorrow,” he added with a sigh.  “Good night, Dr. Kalam.”“Alright, good night, Dr. McDermott.”  Dr. Kalam watched as Dr. McDermott left the room.  Three men entered the room as the doctor left.  Two of them were large and dressed like orderlies in a hospital.  The third was dressed in military fatigues and armed.  Dr. Kalam unhooked the boy from the machines and the two orderlies moved his body to a nearby hospital bed.  They then wheeled the boy out of the room, followed closely by the military man and the doctor.Following numerous darkly lit corridors, they came to a stop at a reinforced door guarded by two more armed men.  One of the guards smiled at the doctor.  “Hello, Jaya.  Find that cure for cancer, or whatever it is you do, yet?” he said with a bit of a smirk.Jaya smiled back at the guard.  “Hi, Michael.  No, we hit another dead end today, I think.”“Hey, I’m off-duty in 10 minutes.  Want to go have a coffee at our five-star cafeteria?” Michael said with a grin.Jaya nodded.  “Sure, I could use some caffeine right about now.  See you in a bit.”  She kissed Michael on the cheek before looking into the retinal scanner beside the door.“Get a room, you two,” the other guard said, rolling his eyes as the door slid open.  The four people entered the hallway on the on the other side of the doorway, leaving the guards to their post.</blockquote>
