CHAPTER 27

CALEB POV

I grip the two pieces of the cloning notes in my hand; one bloody, one smeared. I crumple it into a ball. This was supposed to be something we did together. I throw the notes into the garbage can. I pull out a match, striking it, the flames illuminating the dim room. I hold it over the garbage can, ready to drop it.

I breathe in deeply. "I'm sorry... if it's not with you... it's not with anyone."

The match never falls from my hand. I reach in the garbage and pull out the notes, opening them hesitantly.

"Maybe I can do it with you if..." I say, joy rushing through my face. "I can see her again..."

I go down the list of items:

-1 charged electron

-1 DNA analyzer

-1 human body cell

-2 glass jars

-1 chemical (adenine)

-1 chemical (thymine)

-1 chemical (guanine)

-1 chemical (cytosine)

I set them all out on my desk, looking at each slowly and carefully. There is only one thing left...

-1 sample of the clone's DNA

I remember what the cloning notes were originally for.... Tris. I can only make one clone.... I look at my options. I see the ashes that were once Tris and the sample of Cara's DNA. I close my eyes, my head hurting.

"What do I do?" I ask the empty room. I look over the two specimens. I scream in frustration. I jut my hand forth, gripping one of the two samples.

"I'm so sorry..." I say, "I will never see her again..."
