When Tom drove away I saw a silhouette of a man standing by the street lamp.

He started walking towards me.

I fumbled in my pocket for the key to my dorm. Then I could see his face.

"So, he's the one?" He asked. "Looks like you didn't need the breakup taxi."

Yep. It was Breakup Taxi Kris.

"Aah!!!! Woah, woah... What? Um... Have you been watching us the whole time?" I said.

"Just the kiss." He answered.

"That's not creepy." I muttered sarcastically. Though I was feeling very weirded out.

"Sorry," he looked down at his feet, embarrassed.

"Come inside. It's cold," I said.

He shrugged and followed me.

"Who's this?" Rachel asked.

"I'm Kris, nice to meet you." He answered.

"Rachel." My roommate said.

"Okay guys, I need to talk to both of you."

They both looked confused. I motioned for them to sit down and then I began.

I explained everything I saw in the lab. I made sure I mentioned that it's illegal. Where it is. What it looked like. And what types of things were in the test tubes. I told them about the embryos in the back. Then I told them about how they had already made perfect people and that Tom was one of them.

I could tell it was taking a while to let it sink in.

"So what should we do?" I asked.

"Why don't you just call the police?" Kris asked.

"I don't want Tom to get in trouble." I told them. "I don't know how to do this without getting him involved."

"We could go trash the place!" Rachel exclaimed. "Break all the test tubes! Destroy all the organs!"

"I don't know." I shook my head and said.

"They're made from embryos though!" Kris said. "It's like killing a bunch of people if you trash the lab."

"Thank you Kris!" I said.

We talked for a long time and couldn't decide on anything. at 1:00 then we all decided to call it a day. It was frustrating, not coming up with anything! I wished I could simply call the police without Tom getting in trouble. But I had a feeling I'd have to take care of this myself.

The next morning I was eating breakfast when I had an idea.

"We need to get Tom involved." I told Rachel.

"Involved in what?" She asked.

"Getting rid of the lab." I said. "We need to tell the police and inform the people somehow. Tom's was created in that illegal lab, but it wasn't his fault. If he was supporting our side..."

Rachel nodded.

"I still don't know exactly what we're doing, but we're getting closer." I concluded.

So that night Tom, Rachel, Kris, and I all got together. I think we finally have a plan.

Tom took them to the lab. Kris almost passed out, and Rachel cried.

"Let's get evidence and take it to the police station." Tom said.

"Way to have a plan," I smiled at him.

He smiled at me back. "I'm so glad you're not mad at me." He said.

"I'm not all that happy about this," i gestured to all of the test tubes. "But I still love you of course. Mr. Perfect."

He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and then walked over and grabbed a test tube kidney, eye, and embryo.

"Let's do this."
