Chapter 6: Hormones I

Aaron's POV

The two pods might be mutually dependent. But for what could that be? What needs two systems? Maybe an emitter and some sort of checker? Like one emitting a certain substance into Mirthe's body and the other one monitoring the progress? And taking action when something is out of bounds? An emitter and a filter perhaps? The substance would be in the blood, so it might show up on the bloodtests. But then again, we might not test for it specifically. I better make sure that I take some extra blood, so I can take a look myself after work.

 I turned around to tell Amy about my theory. Hell, where did she go to? Damnit, she always does this. As soon as I make any progress with her, she flees. That woman drives me insane.

 She might be David's little sister, and I normally don't screw around with friend's sisters, but I want her. Bad. I never felt this obsessed about a woman before. She drives me nuts. That kiss was so hot. And that red lacy bra...matching her heels. I groan. That woman makes my blood boil. And then walkes away. Damnit. Amy is such a tease. I have never had to work so hard to get into a woman's panties.

Mirthe and her mother walked into the room. I told them about my theory about the function of the pods. Mirthe looked very worried. Poor woman, there must be some way to get them out. I will show the scans to Anna, Jerry and Peter. Maybe they will have more insight. I told Mirthe I would do that and I took some more blood samples of her. She joked around while I was trying to insert the needle into her arm. God, I am so bad at this. My hands are simply to big. That's why I never went into surgery. Mirthe is awesome. She has been through a lot, losing an entire week, not knowing what happened and to top it off all these tests. And then the woman jokes around. Wow!

Afterwards, Amy walked back in the room, completely ignoring me. Damnit. Why is she being so stubborn? This is so frustrating. I know she is as attracted to me as I am to her. That night was amazing. Best sex ever. But then she gives me the cold shoulder, for no reason at all.  Why doesn't she simply give in? We could have so much fun together. That night proved it.

I tell Mirthe and her mother to leave their nummers and address at the nurse desk. Before they leave, I try to get Amy's attention but completely fail. Oh hotlegs, stop being such a bitch. You are killing me. They say goodbye and set off for the hotel.

I look at the scans again and open my laptop. Maybe I can find anything about it on WorldWideMedicine. I surf for an hour ending up with nothing. How can this be, so many victims Amy said...I don't believe nobody tested them. I start typing a message about what I found, add some details, take a photo of the scans, removing Mirthe's name and date, and post it on the forum. Hoping somebody will help.

I walk over to Anna's and Jerry's office. Peter is in the operating room. Anna agrees with the mutually dependency hypothesis. When Jerry takes a closer look he said "Hey, look at this. The image resolution is worse over the area of the pod at the base of her spine. Why is that?". I take a closer look. He is right, it is slightly blurred. "It might just be a blip?", I suggest. "It is a perfectly circle, so I don't think so...", Anna said. "I will scan another victim tomorrow; I'll see whether his scans come up with the same blur.", I suggested. "Please show us the results!", Anna replied, "This is fascinating. I'd really like to help." "Could you send Peter to my office, when he comes back?" "Yeah, I will, see ya!".

Mirthe's POV

Amy hailed a taxi on the road in front of the hospital. We got in and Amy asked in what hotel we were staying. "Parkwood Hotel; 4 Stanhope Place, Marble Arch.", my mother responded. Amy called her brother to give him the hotel details and told him that she would book him a room there as well. Whilst the taxi drove to the hotel, I asked Amy how long she has been working for the London police. "I graduated 5 years ago. I started first at Narcotics, as a constable, but I got transferred to a chief inspector function at the Embassy two years ago." "What do you do?", Amy asked. "I am a Research Fellow. I work as a geneticist at the Erasmus Medical Centre. I mainly do research involving radiation tolerance."
