And The Winner is ...

Adrienne

It's a gamble getting into the lab before they open. It's one I'm willing to take, given the payback for what I'll be able get out of this is huge. I have enough experience, enough knowledge to get in and out before I'm caught. The lab is inside the hospital so I just need to watch foot traffic and there's no cameras down this way. I checked that out when we had the tests run. I saw the alarm system, it's child's play really. Pulling this off will be a breeze.

Trent infuriated me yesterday. He had a lot of nerve not only kicking me out of the bar but taking my meal ticket away. He thinks he can keep her. He wants the brat then he better be willing to pay up. Nothing's for free, ya know. It's gonna cost him too. I'll make sure this little move of his isn't going to be cheap.

He thinks that bimbo bitch is gonna take over playing mommy dearest to my kid he's got another thing coming. She's my ticket to what I want. That kid got me a sympathy card from my parents. Those old farts think they're better than me too. I'll teach them too. She pulled at their purse strings enough I've milked their retirement fund dry, not that there was much of it. She'll get me Jeremy and Trent's little nest egg too.

Those two idiots think they're so much better than me. I've had this planned for two years now. I bided my time until he was ripe for the picking. He was a bit volatile for a while after mommy and daddy went boom. It was fun watching him be all cold and brooding. But I needed his bleeding heart for this to work so I waited.

I've watched Trent since he moved here. He's still the do-gooder he's always been, even if he's played the field. Now with the bimbo I see he's gone soft again. I know exactly what I have to do here. I just needed the results to come in before I made my move. Trent taking the kid off my hands last night only made this part of my plan easier. No babysitter, no excuses to go out needed to get away early this morning.

Walking around the counter and making myself at home, I boot up the computer. While I wait I look for the other half of the deal. Gotta dot all my I's and cross my T's. Finding the file easily in the stack for appointments for this morning, I pull out the original results from each of our files, scanning down the information I find what I'm looking for. It's too bad really, it could have been interesting to see him squirm being a single father.

"Sorry honey, you just don't know what's about to hit you." Spinning the chair around and pushing across the desk area I sent the three single sheets into the shredder. No one needs to know the truth.

Pushing back to the desk again, I pull up the file and for each of us and enter the results on each one. Need to cover all my bases in case the boys decide they want to come back for a second test. Don't need to leave any details unseen. Once the results have been reset to my advantage, I print out a copy for each file.

Putting the files back where they were and shutting down the computer, I make sure it's all the way it was before I came in. I reset the alarm and lock back up. It's too bad that lab tech was so gullible last night. Believing I would find that drab dull idiot remotely interesting enough to bring to my bed. Fool, a few drinks, a couple little blue pills and wham bam! I've got a key, passwords and codes to get what I need. It was all so simple.

Slipping down the dimly lit hallway, I make my way to the darker stairs and begin my descent down to the main level and where I'm to meet the boys in a couple hours. I've got plenty of time for a cup of coffee and a moment to enjoy my ruse. I've got Trent right where I want him. He's going to do everything he can to 'save' Zoe. He always was a goodie two shoes, fucking bleeding heart. Too fucking easy, he just hasn't changed at all. If he thinks that blonde bimbo will stick around after I'm done, he's more stupid than usual.
