Chapter 3-A Mistake Made

With the decision firmly in his head, and his mind made, he set to work. He moved over to the machine, taking a tube, and dumping out the contents, his mind not together enough to process that he should, nor the consequences that might befall his actions if he didn't.

Typing in some numbers, and some statistics on the keyboard, he then placed the vial into the machine. It made a soft humming as the machine got to work and he leaned back, looking at his watch, and muttering to himself. It would take about 9 hours for the process to complete, and as he sat there, he realized the flaw in his actions.

Even thou she would be a perfect clone, identical in every way, perhaps a few weeks younger, but she still wouldn't have the memories of the one he loved. He sat there, for about an hour, thinking of a way to fix it. Eventually, he walked out the door, locked the lab door, and headed out of the complex, a plan in his head.

Getting into his car, he drove to an old friends house, he had not seen them since he was still in collage. Mike had studied Genetics, and DNA, while his friend had studied the way of the mind, and was currently someone who specialized in brain research, and memory recovery for amnesia patients, and he thought he remembered something that he had said before.

He stopped at the guys house, an old friend, by the name of John Stevens. He grew up the him, and they were rather good friends. As he was walking up to the door, he knocked, and thou there was some groaning, it being around 11 pm. He was still awake, but still didn't want to be disturbed.

The door opened, and Mike looked at the slightly taller, black haired, brown eyed man at the door. "Hey John, long time no see. Mind if I ask you a favor"

As John stepped away from the door, and let his old friend through and leading him into the living area. Turning around, John looked into his eyes. "So what is it you want? I was just about to go to bed."

"My wife, Katherin, died earlier today, I was hoping you could help me out with something."

Sighing, he looked at the floor "I know what you are thinking, and it is illegal."

Mike thought for a moment, and gave a quick response. "So was our Senior Prank, no one has ever topped that." At the thought, he started chuckling, and John quickly joined in.

"Yea, it is kinda hard to beat infecting the entire school computer system with a virus that displays our principle dancing naked, but I had had to sneak into her back yard with the camera, while you stayed at home and wrote it into a virus."

"Your point" They still haven't figured out who did it, and probably never will."

"True to that, true to that."

"So, will you help me."

"I guess I will, but we still need her body." John said, giving in, and a smile of triumph showing on Mike's face.

"I know, I know, I am getting to that. Do you have the machine here?" Mike asked his old friend.

"Just a prototype that I was tinkering with, but it should work. I will go get it." he said, as he walked out of the living room, and downstairs, holding a machine about the size of a toolbox. "This will only upload it, we will have to use another one to download it into the new body."

"Alright, shall we go?"

"Yes, Might as well get it over with. We will take your truck."

Not saying another word, they got into the Zeus, and went off to the local morgue. Both wearing darker clothing, and masks over their heads, not talking but both thinking at the task at hand.

As they pulled into the morgue, they were relived at the lack of security, who would want to break into a morgue anyway? Getting into the building, the doors locked, but the window left slightly opened on one of the sides.

As they entered the building, they were careful of any cameras, or alarms. Moving through the edges of the hall, they came up onto a large open room with metal carts laying everywhere. On one was the body of his love. Her face pale, her stomach and legs crushed, and from what he could tell, her neck broken. As he looked upon her, his eyes began to tear up, looking at what he had lost.

Even thou he had been the levelheaded one on the trip down here, it was John that was showing his cool, and had to snap Mike out of his own sorrow. "Hey, don't tear up on me now, we need to get this done. How long do we have anyway before your machine back at the lab is done?"

Looking up, Mike looked somewhat confused. "I didn't tell you that I had started it up."

"Yea, but you were always the one to act first, and take the consequences and work it out later, I figured you already had."

"You know me to well, well, about" Pausing as he looked at his watch, and noting the time. "About five hours."

"Well, let's get it done." He said, as he handed began to work, and set the machine onto Katherin's head. "Good thing her head wasn't damaged, otherwise we would be out of luck. Keep watch while I work on this. We don't want the guy on watch to come by while we are working." Turning on the machine, it begins to hum quietly.

"Good point" Moving to the door, he looks out quietly, and slips his head back in. Taking a look back, he sees that his friend is almost done, perhaps a few more minutes of scanning.

After a few minutes, John spoke up. "Do you see him?"

"Not yet." He quickly whispered back. "How much longer?"

"About a minute"

Listening for a few more seconds, he heard someone's footsteps. "He is coming, hurry"

"Almost done...."

Someone is visible walking down the hallway now, giving a person to the footsteps. "Hurry, he is almost here"

"Almost there...."

"Hurry"

The man walking down the hall catches sight of Mike with his head peeking out, and yells at him "Hey, you there, stop."

Just then, John looks up. "Done" And they both take out running, bursting through the doors, and into the truck. Driving off as fast as they can, the worker running out the door, and staring at their tracks.

Driving down the road, the machine in hand, they had back to John's house, in order to get the other machine that is needed in order to finish the memory transfer.

After arriving back at John's home, he ran inside, and pulled the memory out of one machine, and put it into the other, taking about forty five minutes for him to get back to the truck waiting outside.

Heading back to the laboratory, they walk in, and, entered the building, using Mike's keycard, the guard only appearing slightly suspicious at the stranger entering the workplace, but, Mike dispelled it with "I got a bunch of work to get done, so I brought along someone to help me. Don't tell Mr. Bumm"

The guard, understanding how harsh the boss can be, quickly he let them through with "I didn't see him, and he was never here."

Moving down the hallway, with about 30 minutes remaining till the cloning was estimated to be done, and of course, they got away with running, as how many people were there at four o'clock in the mourning?

Turning and unlocking the lab door, he quickly enters, and glances over at the machine, as it read ninety-nine point five percent complete. It was a bit ahead of schedule. Glancing up at the clock, they began to get to work with preparations for the second stage of the memory transfer.

By the time they were done, the machine chimed a bit, and the door opened, out stepping the clone. Both stared at it in surprise, thou the thing looked human, it had a few strange traits about it. It appeared to be a human with silver hair, blue cat eyes, cat ears, a tail, and slightly pointed nails.

"What is that?" John

"I think that is Katherin, something must have gone wrong with the cloning."

"YOU THINK?"

"A well, no time to try it again, boss is inspecting the labs today, got to go with it, besides, I think she is kind of cute.."

The thing looked around slightly confused. Seeing Mike and John, it walked over, the thing's, no, Kat's stride, somewhat feline. Thou perhaps that was due to the DNA mixture that caused this.

Catching the new creature was a bit easier then expected, as it was rather affectionate. They placed it onto a table, and to the beings objection, as shown by it hissing, strapped down as well .

They had managed to get the memory printer onto her, and turned it on. The girl, now still seemed to stare at the ceiling. Finally, after an hour and a half of the machine humming it was finished and she opened her eyes, and he spoke to her. "Kat, can you hear me?"

The feline, still stunned replied. "Yes, but where am I? What happened, and why am I tired down?"

"You died, I brought you back using the hair from the locket you gave me."

"Wh...why did you bring me back?"

"Because I couldn't live without you."

Just then, the clock chimed, seven thirty. Work started at eight, he needed to get her out of there, and fast.
