A little show with HULKING possiblites

Hey everyone,
You know that you wanna ask? Right? what's with Green text this time around especially since it's hard to read this on that black colored background? I want to ask how many people out there have a television show that they grew up on and remember it like yesteryear, by this I mean like if you heard it's theme song or that certain person's voice in the show's monologue. Well here's the monologue for this show that I want to share about with you. Doctor David Banner, physician, scientist, searching for a way to tap into the hidden strength that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation altered his body chemistry. And now when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs. The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigator reporter. "Mr. McGee... Don't make me angry... you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!" The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit. David Banner is believed to be dead, and he must let the world think that he IS dead Until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him. Those words were uttered every Friday night by Ted Cassidy from November 28th, 1977 till June 2nd 1982. The Incredible Hulk, was based off the character that Stan Lee (who also created the amazing Spider-Man), of the same name back in May, 1962 for Marvel comics. Frank Price head of Universal Television in 1977 had offered Ken Johnson the opportunity to make The Incredible Hulk into a live TV series, But Ken refused at first until he read Victor Hugo's novel Les Miserables. He wrote a script entitled "THE INCREDIBLE HULK" but he made several changes in his script that were different from the comic book character himself to make it more believable to TV audiences. He wanted it to be a type of show that was for both adults in dramatic storytelling yet excitable for children when it came to Banner's change into the monster. The main thing that was changed the most was the character of "Bruce" Banner himself, back in the seventies it was believed that "Bruce" was homosexual for any character name, leading character or not. So Johnson changed "Bruce" Banner to David Banner the name of Johnson's own son, for the main character's live TV series. In fact the only part where the "Bruce" is referenced in the show is at graveyard scene in the opening credits end. One other main thing Ken wanted was to not have the creature talk as he did in the comic in fact Ken preferred he didn't speak at all for the part.
For the part of the human side of the hulk Ken wanted only one person and that was Bill Bixby to play the part.
Bill was like Ken in that he wanted no part in a show pandering to children because of it's source material, Ken told Bix to just take the script home an read it. In so doing Bill came back the next day asking "Ken is this really how you're gonna do this with heart warming drama & focus on human emotional string tugging?" Ken said "Yes that how we're going to this adaption of this fictitious character, so what do you say Bix?" Bill told him "I'm in on this as long as your with it as well Ken throughout it's production run".
To find who they wanted as the incredible hulk they started with actor Richard Kiel,
Richard Kiel was famous for playing James Bond movie villains his most famous one was Jaws from "The Spy who loved me" & continued the character in "MoonRaker". The problem the producers had with Kiel was he complained about the make up & was half blinded by the contact lenses he had to wear for the part. So after two days of filming he was let go, (there's one shot of Kiel in the television pilot that does exist it's where the Hulk looks up to the top of the tree by the lake.) they went with Lou Ferrigno Lou was shorter than Kiel he was six feet, four inches tall but he weighted two hundred, twenty five pounds, where Kiel had only the height for the character at seven feet, two inches tall.

The casting for the interrogative reporter Jack McGee was played by Jack Colvin. The series had another Television movie before the series began called The Incredible Hulk: "A Death in the Family", what's interesting is that in some cases they later titled this "Return of the Incredible Hulk, which can get confusing when in the latter eighties the first reunion movie was titled "The Incredible Hulk Returns".
The story begin with David Banner trying to find the inner strength that all humans have after the death of his wife Laura dies in a car accident of which he is spared, it just so happens he had a reoccurring nightmare about it for the past eleven months. He has the help of Elaina Marks in his studies of rare instances of ordinary people finding this very strength he was hoping to find back when Ms. Banner died, come to find out a young African American woman & her ten year son had the same type of accident the Banners had with one exception his son's alive. After several more stories like this one David decides to look at sun graphs, "which show all of the interviewees had excessive strength at the said time of their said events" and he had low gamma activity during "his own said event". He goes to radiology there he hope by injecting himself with a low dose of gamma rays he'll get the strength he wants.
At first it seems nothing had happen so even angrier he leaves to go home to find it raining. On the way home he gets a flat tire now he's down right pissed off, he starts to change the tire on the second turn of the tire iron to get the lug nut off the wheel he cuts his hand.. And then it happens the first Hulk out, when he finds himself in the morning with a bullet hole in his arm he wonders what has happen? He goes to get help from Elaina whose equally scarred as he is, after running tests he realizes it's uncontrollable so they start to look for a cure. So Banner tries to look for a cure wherever he may not be found out by the law or McGee.
The show was paired with CBS's Friday night block of shows in 1979 Dallas at nine the Incredible Hulk at seven and at eight it was Hazzard time with the Dukes What was neat about the "Incredible Hulk" was that sometimes it tackled hard issues that were unapproachable by even today's type of TV standards an put the message out there. The one episode I loved beyond the norm was "A Child in Need" David was a grounds keeper at a elementary school where he notices a boy that seems to have a lot of bruising about his arms. At first the boy claims he got the bruises from falling down. When David confronts the school nurse she tells him the child has been to see her more than just his time of bringing "Mark Hollinger" the name of the kid to see her. She suggest David to talk his parents because the last time she tried to deal with a similar situation the schooling board had her fired. David walks Mark home and tell the father of his concerns of the boy injuries. The next day David finds the bruising of Mark to be those of welts from what appears to be a belt David ask Mark how he get these the boy says he got them playing basketball with his old man, David talks again with the school nurse who will agree to help Mark if David will talk with the boy's mother so later that evening he goes to the store where Mark's mother works and tells her of someone being to violent with the boy and maybe the police should be made of aware of it by someone within the family. All in all the hulk's conflict with the father proves he needs help by a doctor, for the sake of his family. Ken had one small irk about the show in per- production it was green when it should have been Red, what was it? It was the Hulk's skin color, He argued with Stan Lee that the color of rage is Red, but in the end the TV version had his comic book color. The very reason I'm bringing this up is that right now in the comic he does have Red, skin color but it still hasn't been explain how this has happen as of yet? The entire run of the Television hulk was eighty two episodes in all. The show's composer was named Joe Harnell he composed the theme on a piano it was called "Lonely Man" if no one has a copy of the series on DVD, it can be heard in the two thousand eight movie of the same name when Bruce Banner is leaving the country of Brazil.

Young women loved the TV show mostly because of when David got angry he had a hulk out into Lou Ferrigno in fact here is a photo of Bill & Lou together outside of the on screen transformation which looked like this. One thing that had happen while the show was being made was that in it's third year it got a lot of exposure by two things. One was that the public broadcasting network show called "Mister Rogers neighborhood" had a visit to universal's lot to show that children shouldn't be afraid of the incredible hulk show by showing the process Lou Ferrigno goes through to become the Incredible Hulk. The other thing that help the Incredible Hulk TV series was that Stan Lee was already writing a Spider-Man daily newspaper strip and decided to write one about the TV Hulk till it was ended he started the Incredible Hulk strip in October 1978. As far as I know I think it ran on Sundays only I could be wrong about that too, here's a Sunday Hulk comic. The reason I say it only ran on Sundays only being wrong is because in the summer of nineteen ninety two I found a Incredible Hulk newspaper strip collection in a paperback trade format at a bookstore that I got a boat load of Spider-Man comic books for like if I remember ten dollars and something in change. The Strip had Banner's first name as David as in the TV series currently running on the air. The difference from the strip and the show was the Hulk could talk like he did/does in his own monthly comic book, the newspaper strip lasted till Spetember5,1982 which was at least a couple months longer than the series final episode. By the end of that season Bill Bixby & his wife Brenda Benet which was in the latter part of nineteen eighty had divorced. They were married back in nineteen seventy one six years before Bixby had gotten the part of David Banner. Three years before production of the live action "The Incredible Hulk" was made Bill and Brenda had their only son named Christoper Sean Bixby. Bill was very adamant that the young boy couldn't watch the show, for fear of having to tell him "Daddy doesn't really become a monster & Chris not understand why his daddy has to be the star of such a show?"
The fourth year of the Incredible Hulk show had a great opening called "Prometheus" which was a two parter where David found himself stuck in mid transformation between the Hulk and himself without knowing why? To have the government finally do what McGee can't do capture the creature. The fourth year of the show had other great hits as well but still the best of the best of the entire run of the incredible hulk was in that very year it was the season's only other two parter called ("The First"). By this point CBS studios had started restricting the number of "Hulk Outs" per show to one Hulk out or none or they were starting to try to enforce it more so as season four came to a close.
In the summer of nineteen eighty there was a "writer strike", for those of you who don't watch much Television or go to movies very often a "writer strike" is when networks that run shows can't or won't work with writers or producers of the medium to get a stable of funds to make shows work in being produced. (Hence the most recent "writer strike" was in two thousand eight) Well the one back in nineteen eighty lasted shorter than this past one did but result for for The Incredible Hulk show were determined by a man named Harvey Shepard who had control of the CBS network for all of twenty minutes had decided to AX the show despite very high ratings still. What CBS wanted from universal studios was to have David Banner have a side kick & they would travel around in a motor home RV type vehicle with one "hulk out" per show otherwise.
Kenneth Johnson & one his head writers Nicholas Corea had tried to get Network to give them a full season for season five they were going have Banner have to save his sister who was introduced in a third season episode and have a female counterpart to the Hulk himself Marvel comics had gotten wind of this and had a comic version of the Hulk come out named She-Hulk, but still as a result the television Incredible Hulk was left hanging even though their were nine episodes all together not filmed for air. These were as follows "LOS INDIOS" parts (1 & 2) season 3. "Double Exposure" season 3, "The Trial of Jack McGee" season 5, "David Banner R.I.P. season 5, "The Steel Mill" season 5, "The Survivors" season 5, "Killer on board" season 5, "Eye of the Beholder" season 5. Also Johnson and Corea had wanted to do a two hour finale where Banner is caught found out to be alive, goes to trial for Elaina Marks death, resolves things with McGee and is cured from Hulk Outs. So the unfortunate thing because of a man who didn't last long as a program director for a network that thought a show was to expensive we got the result of the Incredible Hulk, was a fifth short lived season of seven episodes. Hey I'll promise to blog about a weekly episode of the show with two Incredible pieces of Trivia.

A brief but very important message worthy of a break in my story of "CLONE OF ME" from me

To think what I'm about to talk about & how it all changed today in the Newspaper comic strip all started because of this promo Art for "ONE MORE DAY" is kinda cool too bad it hasn't happen it the main Spider-Man comics just as yet, But I'm sure something will happen sooner or later We'll see when we see I guess?

Trust me on this I do promise you will like this break in my story please think of this as a breather before I start the storm in my story of "CLONE OF ME"because without telling you anything story points will just start to becoming to a head in more ways than they are right now. As many of you know I'm a HUGE Spider-Man fan as you all know well this has something very special to do with Spider-Man in a very BIG WAY and I mean that in a grand scale type of way.
This has to do with something very much that the current comic has lost and may never regain in my option a consistently of continually when change comes it hurts like a bat out of hell, Yes I know I talked about this before but in part as of today Memorial Day May 25, 2,009 I can celebrate in a way like I know my voice has been heard as many other Spider-fans have voiced for the past three years to Marvel Comics, but JOE QUEASDA or as I've recently have nick name him QUEADippy DOOSA won't listen to Fans he just continues to want to piss Marvel Comics readers off any & ever chance he can.
What I'm talking about is SPIDER-MAN SHOULD BE AND NOW IN THE NEWSPAPER COMIC STRIP by STAN LEE the one who created the character of Peter Parker in the first place is back to after many, many,many need I go on fan letters back to being Married to Mary Jane Watson. I happen to be on one of my favorite Spider-Man websites in the middle of this month and when I saw this
and this really had me start to think is this Mary Jane's first time in the newspaper comic strip really since that editor in chief QUEADIPPY broke them up with a deal to save poor Aunt May from a assassin's bullet in 2,006 GOD awful storyline titled "ONE MORE DAY" in the main Amazing Spider-Man comic line, then I remembered I briefly saw her in another Newspaper comic story this may have been connected to that I'm not really sure I just remember searching the internet to see if the Newspaper comic strip had followed suit of the main comic book Amazing an found this I really and literally wanted to pull my hair out (oh wait I can't it gone already) and throw up at the same time I was very sadly disappointed in Stan Lee.
He himself wouldn't stand up and say wait Joey Queasda What are you doing to us now? In fact in the foreword of the trade paperback collection of "ONE MORE DAY" Stan praised QUEADIPPYDOOSA and the rest of the Spider-man writing team for trying this new look & view of direction for his main man Peter Parker ( I'll bet now with a very sad tear in his eye as he wrote it) That was it I knew if anything I had to rightfully stand for the Spider-Man marriage at all & any cost. For even though he's a fictitious Character this broke his character's roots all together you don't ever put a hero's choice of love in front of duty or in Parker's case Responsibility you've just killed your character if you do that period.
I remember looking up the Spider-Man saving marriage posts online every time I went online still do to just to have them be ignored no matter how truthful I am in what I say of why Marriage matters real or fictitious but I still felt at lost as to why Queasda doesn't get why Marriage is important to people by the defining of the very heroes that they care for real or otherwise, But Stan Lee does get it here's his return of Peter Parker to married bliss. All that I have to say is I'm very glad (as are many other Spider-Man fans) that the true creator of the Spider-Man character or Peter Paker as he's also known as didn't keep a grudge against our wishes when we ask for the marriage back for a fantastic guy & his girlfriend who are comic dome's greatest couple ever. I also want to say I was very impress with how Stan Lee is just a great listener to his fans while there are others who don't care what fans want, by saying Spidey half way back to his greatest challenge of everyday life with a picture I took to celebrate Spider-Man's original wedding date twenty three years ago in June, 1987.

One last thing if your a Spider-Man fan like I am or not, thanks for letting me share a part why I love him so very much with you. If you'd like to read the Newspaper strip but can't find a paper that it's in go to Spider-Man's Crawlspace.com to catch it on the web.

"CLONE OF ME," Chapter VII

"CLONE OF ME," Chapter VII
By Matt B.
George McRain had called his brother Kendall a few weeks ago in New Hampshire about something that both excited & troubled the hell out the younger brother in his life. So on the Sunday before George was going to share with his collage science class of Human Medical knowledge of Health one oh one at Cal Tech University of student Jon Ryder's "About my theory" idea of using a still for now forbidden method of medical application procedure known as cloning. He had also wanted to congratulate the young man in question he had taken him along with his new lady friend out to a fine dinning restaurant that Friday. Kendall was more concerned about his brother's troubled problem of with a Mr. Raven than he was about his excitement over a new medical application procedure unless George would talk to Jonathan Ryder about it in fuller detail first. So on that Thursday night a week ago George called Kendall again to tell him he had talked to Jon Ryder about his own "About my theory" idea with Jon at his estranged mother's home out in West Covina, California. Kendall knew he now wanted to meet this Jonathan Ryder fellow in person & deal with the problem George wasn't wanting or willing to share over the phone or through email over the internet with him about, So Kendall packed his bags for a trip out to the west coast.

In the classroom room in the Mathematics & Science division building 1124 of Cal Tech University in room 342 as George McRain is busy using his Grey& Red eraser to wipe away his last weeks appointed studies homework assignments he's listening to his elder brother Kendall.

"Listen little brother I came out here from New Hampshire, not only because you wanted me
to but also because I want to know what the hell is going on in your life because I'm scared for
you & your daughter."

Kendall was sitting at one of the classroom's six elongated tables.

"Like hell you care about Kendra & me, I do thank you for coming to support Jon Ryder in his
cause of trying to get a medical approval for cloning, but any other reason that your here for
Kendall related to family won't be of any help is all I'm saying."

"Why'd you let me know of Mister Raven & why he called you then George?"

Kendall picked up his cup of Pomegranate prune juice and took a sip from it. Kendall McRain was wearing a white dress shirt and has a tie with his state's bird all over it which is a carpodacus purpureus, better known as a purple finch he was wearing beige pants. He had streaks of Gery appearing in what's left of his now receding brown hair & beard.

"I was wanting to let you know because your family is all, Kendall"

"Is that all really?, Just because I'm family huh?"

"And to help them."

"Who?, your students right."

"Yes, but not just Jonathan alone"

"If you won't tell me what the problem is, how can I help you George?"

At that moment George felt like he was staring into a clouded black hole, when all he was looking at was his chalkboard. He was recalling at the moment when Kendall had said "your students right", six months ago he was brought to RAVEN ENTERPRISES from this very room the two of them were standing in right now, so that he wouldn't know where RAVEN ENTERPRISES was located he was asked to wear a blindfold on the trip to where he & the "Driver" of the limo were heading. Once there he wasn't allow to remove the blindfold till he met with Mister Raven in the penthouse.

"Sir I have him outside your door here would you like to see him?"
the Driver was talking to Mister Raven while the blindfolded McRain was waiting outside the door to the penthouse.

"Of course I want meet the smartest science professor of Cal Tech, show him in here, Todderson"

Mister Raven said through the closed oak door, George was starting to perspire on his forehead and felt the beads of sweat start to fall into the blindfold itself. McRain felt someone grab his arm he guessed it was Todderson but till he was ordered into the room did he know it was Todderson for sure.
"Profressor it's time for you to meet a important someone, now come with me, & let's meet them."
After leading him into the penthouse, Mister Raven ordered Todderson to wait in the limo to take McRain back to Cal Tech when they were done here.

"You may leave now Todderson"

"Yes Sir, I'll be waiting till your done here then"
Mister Raven just gave him a cold stare was all.

"You may remove your blindfold now George, may I offer you a drink sir?"

"You seem to have a advantage Mister Raven,.."

George said as he removed the blindfold from
his face

"...and no thanks I think I'll pass on the drink Mister"

"Fine suit yourself"

"Why am I here, if I can be permitted to ask?"

"...Here's your answer I want your help in controlling the weather sir, but I can already get my
own satellites when I want & wish to, but I do need your help in creating the force in the
weather controlling part?"

George knew this guy was off his rocker, why would anyone want to control the weather &
what did Mister Raven mean in

"Weather controlling part, anyway?"


"What does messing with Mother Nature get you when no one can control that anyway?"

"For a long time the way to always gain power is to topple those whose are in charge of the
government if you or anyone wants to rule a small country or nation, but I don't want to do
just that alone...

"What do you want then Mister Raven?"

Mister Raven stood up from his desk and approached George McRain where he was standing &
looked him in the face.

"I want the planet earth & all of it's people to be mine, because George do you believe in the
sayings in the Bible?"

"I'd say a great many millions of people do, but in almost every verison of any manuscript of
the Bible it tells us to love one another."

"What does it say about the one who..." Mister Raven didn't get to finish what he was going to
say for George McRain finished it for him.

"You'll never be the Anti-Christ if that's what your thinking?"

"Maybe I'm not, but I know where power lies to come close to being GOD like, make no
mistake of that & you will lend me your scientific knowledge to assist me in that very
endeavor make no mistake of that either, Mister McRain"

"You are insane Mister Raven, you know that"

As he went to his cedar oak wine cabinet to get more rum, he could tell that this McRain collage professor would need a no holds bar type of persuasion to make this all work in his favor.

" So I've heard from others and you know where they are McRain, but what I truly want to do
McRain is help the world in finding the easiest way of finding a way to mine a cretin type of
metal that is never so easy to get at. I already have many miners & geologists finding the right
areas & the works easy once there, but if I could have mastery over the weather then I can add
to the miners hopes for more prominent work in more places elsewhere if you get my meaning."

George thought better of, than answering with a smart remarks to this guy for a third time, besides that, this guy's rantings, he could just smell the hint of fear that he was emitting towards George & possibility any others he must deal with.

"Why me, when you also have computers to help nowadays when & where the geologists fail in
their findings of proper areas of land for mining?"

"What I need from you McRain isn't your abilities to run a computer program, Hell I could
do that myself, what I need from you is...

"Is someone to create a program within the formatting of your vast computer empire."

Mister Raven raised his free hand & slapped George across the face to congratulate him in his promptness.

"Precisely Professor, now will you be so kind as to help me with this or must I inflict you with
more bodily harm than either us wish?"

"No I think your point's been made Mister" George said as he reached up with his own hand to smooth his sallow face to find out he was bleeding from his nose & lips both.

"Why'd you do that to show how bossy you are?"

"No but to let you know that you or your students who refuse to help me in making that
computer formatting program will face more than that if you ever bail out on the project or me
before it's completed, you may leave now but before you do please put the blindfold back on
please."

As George did as he was told he heard Mister Raven using his cell phone.

"We're through here Todderson you may come up now, & take him back to Cal Tech"

"I'm on may way up Sir"
George could here the limo "driver's" rough low voice from the other end of Mister Raven's cellphone.
As he was being lead out of the penthouse by Todderson he heard Mister Raven clear his throat.

"Um just a minute there Todderson let me remind the professor that of which he has agreed to also implies to his very own family as well if anyone shall not work in this little venture for me, we do understand each other right McRain."

"Yes I do understand Mister Raven sir."

"Get him outta here, then Driver"

Kendall had gotten up from where he was sitting at the classroom's tables & approached his brother who was seeming lost in personal thought for the past couple of minutes. He reached out and put his hand on George's shoulder,

"Hey Professor brother of mine, aren't you going to answer the question how can I help if you won't share with me the way I can hel...."

"He's extorting both my students & me, Kendall and I..."

"You don't know how to deal..."

"With it, yes that's what it boils down to in the end of it all!"

"Well," before continuing with what he was going to say to George, Kendall flapped his lips by
blowing out his frustration with air. "What can you do that won't be noticed by this Mister
Raven guy that's underhanded like in his way of thinking that won't get you or..."

"or my students that would get us all killed like..." before he finished George knew where
Kendall was going with this line of questioning from back when they were kids, they made a
pact with each other that when the future presented itself with problems either of them
couldn't handle they would find the way to work them out together.

"....Look I know of our pact from when we were little terrors ourselves Kendall, but I won't put
you, Kendra, or..."

"Susan your ex wife through this, Alright I understand George, but I still wish I could help you but since I can't because you won't let me, tell me about this young man known as Jonathan Ryder & his "About my Theory" in more detail..."

"Well of what I know of Jon he seems very hard working in most things mathematical, he also
seem to want to be in the medical field & he seems to know a lot about computers in general."

"Tell me George, do know how much about computers Jon seems to know?"

"Not truly I couldn't say, But how his mother Sam was sharing of their family discord the
other day I can tell you he seems strongly hurt by what his parents....or rather what his
grandfather did because he was raised in adoption agencies in a lot of different states till..."

"This guy's got to be great cause for a psych therapist does he?"

"Not anymore it seems he just seems to deal with it as best can, & maybe he's already seen
one, but when he was fifteen he moved in with his mother's sister Trisha, from there things
seemed to be stable from what I could gather."

"Okay so when you told him about me & how I'd help in this project of his did he seem,
frighten in any way."

"No actually he was a little more surprised that I was more than in acting in getting this off
the ground & out in the open because..."

"Because of you George?, why do you want it if you know it's Illegal then if your brother's
allowed to ask for input?"

"For two main reasons..."

"And they are what George?"

" They are this, one., Have we come only so far in medical engineering that we can't save a
person because we feel that they wish to die is their only means to go on when there is
nothing left in the way of hope at all. Mostly that seems unfair to them when they could
need is really a mending of their own body part, today...."

George had a tear start to well up in his eye.

"And number two George?"

"Number two., Why should we as people be afraid to want to learn about our fear of the
unknown about our own selves when we are truly alone, for the most part in our lives. Why's
this important Kendall?"

" Just that I want yours & Jon's matter of meaning to match as close as possible when I start
the lecture to the American Medical Association broad of Directors"

"Alright sounds fair to me, but what do you need for your speech for today though in the way of
anything?"

"Just a small podium of sorts, hey a cardboard box will do if you..."

The doorknob to the classroom was being turned but today's class wasn't starting for a good ten minutes or so whoever it was, was early today for some reason but why was still unknown. It was the young man that he & his brother George had been just discussing about for the last few minutes Jon Ryder himself. He walked from where he and George were working on what was just outta sight of Jon's eyes.

"Hello, you must be Jonathan Ryder, right?"

"Yes I am sir, who are you?" "I'm your teacher's brother's from New Hampshire, my name's Kendall McRain."

Jon was finally able to see that his teacher George was seemly looking for something as he shook Kendall McRain's hand.

"Nice to finally meet you sir, George tells me your one of New Hampshire senator is that right?"

"Yes I'm of the Democratic party of course, & your right I'm from New Hampshire did George
also tell you Jonathan that I'm on the..."

"....New Hampshire state medical board of trustee, Your brother told me mostly about you when he brought up the topic of my "About my Theory" of cloning a human being brought to reality since it's still Illegal for now, when we were at my mother's home in West Covina this past Friday night, but if you please sir I'm really unsure if it even right myself to be thinking of such a thing at all."

"I see, well what if I told you it was...."

Jon let out a low moan as he walked over to help George in whatever he was trying to find.

"Here George let me help you what are you trying to find anyway?"

"Some cardboard box of some kind to use as Kendall's temporarily podium when he helps you
with... "

"Now wait just a minute both of you please, I want to do this yeah sure but I still haven't come to my own decision of the matter I mean I still coping with Max's death and all...."

"Who's Max?"

Kendall asked as he joined them in finding anything that could be used as a podium in the back of the classroom where the students kept classroom materials in a set of cupboards that were creamy blue in color.

"My father, Kendall he was killed in that terrorist attack on Friday at Carnegie Hall that was why we were at Sam Ryder my mother's home with my friend Sasha Evermore too. When George told me of what he'd talked to you about of my "About my Theory" Topic with out consulting me first off over the phone & I'm..."

"Listen Jon I think you should deal with your father passing sure & in your own way, but don't dwell on it constantly because it will tear you up inside, you need this project of your "About my Theory" to keep your mind at ease, while you deal with that as well. So I'm here as is George to start you on the fore front of Medical applications for cloning, the question now is how much of your heart's into it for driving it home for yourself?"

"I needed to hear someone else just say it Kendall because I know for one thing it would make my father's wishes of his son following in scientific mechanics a dream probable with the added bonus of my own of medicals a dream come true, Hey George will the "HeartS" box work as that so called podium or not?"

"HeartS," what do you mean, Jon?"

both of the McRain brothers said in unionist as they saw Jon reaching for one of the boxes labeled "HeartS" with a double line under both writings on each of the boxes.

"Yeah, "HeartS" don't tell me you forgot George of what the whole class was working on when I did my About my Theory topic a couple weeks ago?"

All of sudden George did recall what they had been working on those couple of weeks ago as a class.
"Heart valves in a artificial hearts or dissecting the whole heart", Yes I remember now yes that will do nicely Jon...Uh Kendall do you need to ask Jon your questions for the American Medical Association Board of directors or trustee?"

" What type of questions if I may ask Kendall?"

"Just general meanings of how this truly matters to you Jon, & after I've discuss the overall propose to your classmates of why you need their help as well, & we can do it after the presentation alright?."

"Fine with me Kendall, let's finish getting set up for that presentation" Jon had emptied all of the plastic hearts out of one of the boxes & set it the first elongated table.
*************************************
As the moisture from the steaming water hit her lips, Krystal was trying to think of the "Best way of her work, that would help her father in getting a certain Ms. Sasha Evermore away from Krystal's "boy toy" Jonathan Ryder. She was certain she'd have little trouble getting Mr. George McRain to help her father with a computer program for what she could only truly guess? After toweling off all of the water from her body & putting on a pink T-shirt and white shorts, she was ready for Human Medical knowledge of Health she knew she had to hurry with the shower because unlike last week when they had the track meet with University of California Los Angeles, she wouldn't have a excuse for being late this time. When she reached into her gym locker to get her white sneakers & socks she saw the red bag from "Milena's Ceremonious Boutique" hanging on the locker's hook for a spare towel or spare gym shirt to hang, she now knew how she'd get Sasha away from her prize. She ran from the locker room to the Mathematics & Science building.
****************************
Clearing his throat after Ms Raven got to class barely again just in the nick of time, George McRain stood at the makeshift cardboard box podium that he, Jon, & his brother Kendall placed on the front elongated table. George is wearing a long shelve Forrest green dress shirt & black slacks.

"Is everyone finally here now?"

Kendall asked as George was ready to begin as well, as Krystal joined her twenty other peers at the remaining five elongated table she happen to sit right next to Sasha just consequentially of course.

"Hello everybody I'd like to introduce my brother who happens to be here from New Hampshire where he's the current state senator & he's also on that state's Medical board I called him a few weeks ago to share with him your fellow peer here mister Ryder's "About my Theory" idea of using cloning technologies for medical application purposes and they would like your help so please just listen to what my brother Kendall McRain has to say thank you."

George sat back down on the right side of the elongated table facing out towards his class as his brother Kendall stood up to take his place now at the makeshift podium, Jon Ryder was sitting to the left of Kendall.

"Hello everyone, as my brother George said I'm here from New Hampshire state's medical board of trustees to hopefully get Jon's idea off and running but I wish to encourage this by your help. I want to talk of how it will help the medical frontiers of science & you as well, The particulars of what this very science is meant to do is be used to heal "one's self" with help from that very "one's same self"

A student by the name of Jason Carlarkly was holding up his hand jumping up slightly from his chair as Kendall pointed right at him.

"Yes young man what is it?"

"Your not going tell us this is some kinda science fictiony change in medical or something like that, are you Mister medical?"

Kendall cleared his throat & picked out the joker in the class, continuing without pause.

"Well yes, actually there's a small amount truth here as well that great SCI-FI writers like Isaac Asimov, Philip kindred Dick, Orson Scott Card would've & will like to write of Jon's achievement, at least Card can but since the other two wrote of Androids, which aren't a thing like a clone at all but would have loved to met Jon I'm sure based on their general works in a sense come to fruition, but seriously Jon is going to be needing a lot of help besides myself to get things rolling here with well Jon what do you want to call this?"

Kendall turned to his left side of the elongated table to look at Jonathan Ryder for the name of the process that cloning would be listed under in the National medical records broad.

"It's part a another computer program I've made in a subroutine listing but for right now I have it known as DLX-12"

As Sasha sat listening to her new friend who she wanted to be hopefully one day a hella lot more than just friends started to have a tear of uncertainly well up in her tear duct of her bluish green eyes. She started to stand up from her plastic black chair.

"Uh, mmm I'm sorry but I need to leave, will you please move Krystal so that I can do that please."

Krystal was more than happy to let her leave from her corner, it will hopefully be one less obstacle she herself would have to deal with anyway in getting Ryder to be hers.

"Sure Sasha don't you know this class isn't for prissy crybabies anyways"

"Now Krystal"

Kendall for the first time had a sternness in his tone of voice that even unnerved his own younger brother.

Sasha was already heading towards the classroom's door to the hallway.

"Apologize right now Krystal because no one needs to be torn down because how things change
ever young lady..."

Krystal stared down the class's visitor, before realizing he was right about this so after a minute of seeing Sasha standing at the door with her hand holding the door handle she gave in and laughed a sight giggle before truly apologizing.

"Hey look Sasha I didn't mean to give you a bad time about this but why can't you just aspect change in anything period."

Sasha just knew she felt betrayed by Jonathan Ryder by not talking about this in more rash national detail from last Friday night. She open the door & walked out of the class determined never to talk with him ever again.

"Sasha wait, please"

Jon was now standing from his side of the central elongated table.

"Let me..."

The door slammed shut before he could even finish what he was wanting to say.
*********************************************************************
Flushing, New York at Calvary cemetery there were at least four canopies with a medical cross that were red in color on their tops, the edges had NYFD in red as well. All together between Interlude Energy Enterprises & the Carnegie Hall indecent last Friday eighteen firemen were killed in the line of duty. Surprisingly it wasn't rainy as at most funerals, today it was bright & sunny those in attendance did have grief for their fallen comrades. Jake Delraven of Manhattan's 123rd fire district who lost at lest twelve of his men at Carnegie Hall was in charge ceremonies while Chip Frankerson of Manhattan 's 51st fire district rung the golden bell he was holding of each fireman's name as it was read.
A brown Ford was parked on the street across from the cemetery inside were detectives Bobbie Rancherson & Denny Markson they were waiting for the service to come to a end so that they could ask Frankerson about what he knew of what had happen at Interlude Energy Enterprise when he rescued the personal assistant of CEO Max Carter a Jewel Robberson. Bobbie lit a cigarette as she saw the grating start to disperse.

"We just may get lucky Denny?"

Denny grabbed his Blackberry & clicked the app to work notes as they waited till only the two fire chiefs were alone.

"How's that boss , I mean what direction can they help with the investigation outside of the obvious I'll admit that I was definitely wrong on my guesses as you were altogether on where Frankerson was all weekend long till this morning's broadcast on the tube of where we're at this very moment the Calvary cemetery here in Flushing New York"

"What I mean by lucky is we have both fire chiefs from both incidents that happen Friday they maybe to tell us if something at Carnegie Hall or Interlude Energy Enterprise was out of place outside of the obvious attempting rescues that seemed to end sadly in this, Come on Markson our luck going to be all Aces I can just feel it."

"Let's hope you right about that boss"

"Stop calling me that okay partner I know that I'm just as human as you are but I hate to be
reminded of it alright!"

Denny followed Bobbie as she walked towards the cemetery entrance across the street she had no problem getting the guards of the cemetery to let them in when she showed her detective badge to them. Once inside the grounds it was easy to see where the New York Fire Department plots were due south east from the entrance. They met up with Frankerson & Delraven as they were putting the very last American flag over the last casket under the fourth canopy.

"Uh gentlemen..."

Rancherson's rough voice startled both of Delraven & Frankerson from their moment of final words a peace for whoever this fallen fireman was. They both turned just slightly to notice her now as Markson joined them.

She cleared her throat for moment before she held her detective badge to them as moments ago she'd done for the way into the cemetery.

"I'm Bobbie Rancherson & my partner here is Denny Markson and I'm sorry for you losses last Friday but we do need to ask you both some questions about those events, if you don't mind coming with us to the twelfth precinct to answer them."

Without a word both fire chiefs agreed.

"Sure we'll help any way we can, lead the way to your vehicle detectives"

All four them got into the Ford & headed for the station.

"CLONE OF ME," Chapter VI

She is in a big name clothing store named "Milena's Ceremonious Boutique" looking for the slinkiest type of low cut dress she can find, while out doing her dad's request of getting her science professor George Mc Rain to help in obtaining a young individual who knows about "working out weather problems in the satellite known as RAVEN' S EYE. She was thinking to herself "What color would I like to see a young female collage student in if I..."
"May I help you Miss?"
An African man that works at "Milena's Ceremonious Boutique" had seen her come into the store & saw that she was looking through the finest dresses that they carried. She continued to ignore him for she knew what she wanted & she also knew who was footing for the bill of sale. "Hello young lady may I help you with something?" the man repeated as he kept his voice soft yet firm since he had other patrons that were buying stuff, besides this young lady. She tighten her grip on her leather purse to still avoid talking to this sales clerk. He cleared his throat as he reached out his hand to escort her out of the store, but before he even touched her she turned to answer his question about helping her & to ask him one of her own. The African sales clerk was wearing a white dress shirt that was accompanied by a stripped tie, it's colors were black & sliver with a golden clip pin about center on it, his slacks were Grey in color.
"Sure you can help me sir, I'm looking for the kind of dress that tells her date she wants
him right away if you know what I mean?"
"Sure I do young lady, but this store's not a adult novelty type of shop in that "said
manner" as you can see."
He held out his hands to show her what the shop had in the way of paintings & statues from far
away as his own country of Africa & from South American countries such as Ecuador, also
worldly furniture as well.
"Well you sure as heck fooled this devilish lass, my name's Krystal Raven by the way"
She held out a pleated red color stripper's dress to prove her point. They both turned back to the racks of dresses she was going through for over the last half hour. So as she finally got fed up with being at this store for longer than she had intended she held up a pleated silver fabric dress to her body by holding it to her ample sized breasts, yet still holding it by the dress's hanger in her right hand.
"What do you think Mr. salesman?" she blew him a kiss.
"My name's Jon McRitterson & if I was as young as your date, well how old is this fellow by
the way?"
"He's about my age actually, so how did these end up here if I may inquire?"
She was lying of course but wouldn't tell McRitterson about which part.
"Well these dresses were headed originally to "MITTEN'S" it's the adult novelty shop off of
Seventh & Comberson a few blocks over. I do believe that the invoices on the boxes that
these came in were smeared by the wet weather we've been having lately over the past few
weeks, I guess the Fed Ex delivery guy was in a rush that he made a slight error on his
part, so then Milena called "MITTEN'S to find out that they had over ordered on their last
invoice & told her as long as she sold them at retail cost we could have them for free. & I'd
say if my date that you've out done yourself, but still you look very nice."
On one account of what he'd just said she believed him, on the other she wasn't sure but anything could be possible she thought.
"I've a friend at Cal Tech University by your first name that is if you spell yours without a
"H" in yours?" "I do spell it without an "H" in it" Jon replied. "So is he your date that your
trying to be all sexy for Krystal?"
She had to come up with a quick fib even if she liked Mr. Ryder.
"You could say I try hard to not let him know that I like him, but I wanna let him see I
want to push different avenues since he has a "tarty" girlfriend in my own option & he's
also nicer to me than my own father Bruce Raven."
"I see, well it's a way for this Jon fellow to take notice for sure I'll tell you that much, but
why not try being yourself?" McRitterson inquired.
"I guess that's hard for me, since I've never gotten to show myself for who I am,
I've always been daddy's little Raven not able to be who I've wanted to be."
Krystal tells Jon as they walk up to the glass display case with the register on it.
"That's sad for you my dear"
"How so?" Krystal ask as she reaches into her purse to get her form of payment
ready. All of a sudden something catches the corner of her eye.
It's a copy of USA TODAY with a caption on the front page, NEW YORK: MANHATTAN TERRORIZED BY THE FOREVER MOVEMENT! It had a photo that was horizontally split with Carnegie Hall on the top & Interlude Energy Enterprises on the bottom. "What I mean by that's a sad comment is one day you'll have tell your father what a pain in the ass he's been telling you how to live your own life by how he thinks your affairs should be ran, is all." McRitterson says as he sees Krystal's eyes fixated on the copy of the paper. "I will remember that for when I see him again, May I peek at this as you ring me up, Jon?" "Sure be my guest Krystal, & what type of payment are we using today?" As she skimmed the article, she was so absorbed in looking at the photo she didn't realize where she was in her train of thought she said "By check, please" "Are you sure about that?" she finally glanced up from the paper wide eyed at McRitterson. " Did you see this about Carnegie Hall in New York...., oh sorry yes I'm sure" she paused & looked at the tills numbers fifteen thousand and thirty cents. She gasped, "My god is that how much the dress is?" "I told you before of our deal with "MITTEN'S" for wholesale pricing I'm sorry if you don't..." she pulled out her VISA card "Here put it on this, if daddy's going to start paying me back parts of my life let him start small shouldn't we?" she winked at McRitterson. As he ran her credit card through the magnetic strip of the till he winked back at her, "Credit it is then" as he put her dress in a red box with a circled M on it then into a bag of the same color with yet the same M as well. She held up the USA TODAY "Can I have this please if your done with it that is?" He held up both his hands "It's headed for the garbage otherwise, so take it if you want." She slipped the paper into her bag to read later. "Thanks" she said as she headed out to her car. He waved to her as she pulled out of the mini mall parking lot. She went to lunch at "Clippers & Malts" she read the article while waiting for her salad & turkey sandwich, she ordered a Chocolate malt shake to drink.
The article went on to talk of the view of how Andrew Carnegie the philanthropist of the eighteenth century would feel & also the architect William Tuthill who built Carnegie Hall would react to Friday's terrorist attack some one hundred & nineteen years ago. It also said what had happen a few blocks away at Interlude Energy Enterprises and the group known as the Forever Movement are involved as well as a ongoing investigation is still in the process of moving on since the CEO of Interlude Energy Enterprises is missing. Krystal had more to do before classes started tomorrow at Cal Tech University.
**********************
The investigation into the terrorist attacks in Manhattan of Carnegie Hall & Interlude Energy Enterprises was assigned to Detectives Bobbie Rancherson & Denny Markson of the precinct twelfth avenue on Friday night at ten p.m. when chief Frankerson of station 51 brought in Jewel Robberson the personal assistant of the CEO of Interlude Energy Enterprises Max Carter by helicopter. There were many more questions than answers from both attacked sites, but most of where leads lead to were Interlude Energy Enterprises with the black Raven head piece monitor, what it was altogether was still a mystery? & what type of metal was Truelium?, Better yet who made it was unkown to them from Ms Robberson as well. Detective Rancherson was wearing a lime green blouse with a tan colored skirt, she had a look of tireness on her face when Markson came in with a coffee & two packs of cigartees & a grapefurit for them to share while trying to contact Cheif Frankerson on his day off by phone.
"Any luck finding Chip Frankerson yet, Bob?" Denny ask as he hands her one of the two packs of cigs & her blue police sheild coffee mug with coffee in it. Denny wore a pearl bule shirt & tan slacks.
Bobbie looked at him with a plain smile on her face,as if he was the lead on this case now.
"No I've been calling him all morning, thanks for the coffee by the way Den but what ways
have you been taking the search for him in if I may ask?" she lit one of the cigarettes with a
match.
"The only thing I can figure out is today's Sunday right, so he must be in chruch I assume since
he's not at the station or his place of residence....or?" Denny started to lite his own cancer
stick. Rancherson grabbed the grapefruit that was in the center of her desk & placed it on her "To do it now or maybe a long time later", her own nick name for her paper holding stick "or what Dennison, where's Chip Frankerson if not at your two afore mentioned guesses!" Denny hated it when his coworkers teased him about his first name, but for now this case was all that needed to fill their time momentirally. "Uh Bob did you mean to mess up your sticky stick there, What I meant by "or" is he's at a bar somewhere trying drain his sorrows for his fallen comrade or still yet hopefully not he's dead out in the streets somewhere."
Bobbie looked down at what she'd done, "Eww do you want this still, Den I hope your aswer's nope, & you'd better hope your first hunch is correct because we're at a dead end in this part of the case." The juice from the grapefruit was all over her black mat & started to run onto the redwood of the desk. "I hope your not wanting it either, I hope I'm right about him not being dead more so as well, but if he is the case isn't stalled just yet." Bobbie was wiping up the grapefurit juice with a napkin she found in her clutted desk drawer. " Right you are about that mister we still have this that Ms Robberson gave us she reached for the Raven shaped headpeice on the conner of where Markson was resting his leg.
*******************************
Jonathan Ryder was having to make a very hard decision before going to sleep at all on Sunday evening because he knew his whole world was full of bliss or great despair based on his choice. So he turned to his best friend besides all he knew on this planet called earth. "Heavenly father it's me Jonathan, I will put my trust in your understanding but I need your help please I know you say sin is a morally wrong in your eyes but science isn't wrong is it, when one uses it to help other people. In whatever means it's need or I should say my need is for cloning the weaken parts of the body to make that said person better. I know that from the looks on Samantha's & Sasha's faces from last night had me truly uncertain of what to do in answering George McRain's question about using cloning for as medical uses. So GOD please give me your strength, & wisdom in this matter, I pray in your son's name Jesus Amen." Jon was having a hard night sleep that night.
The next day at Cal Tech University right before science classes started Jon knew that in his soul he couldn't do this he had made up his mind he'd total forget about helping the world with his cloning ideas. When he open the door to the classroom he got a big surprise that's for sure because apparently George McRain's brother the state senator from New Hampshire was with his brother getting ready for class today. He walked from where he & George were working on what Jon couldn't see. "Hello, you must be Jonathan Ryder, right?" "Yes I am sir, who are you?" "I'm your teacher's brother from New Hampshire, my name's Kendall McRain."

"CLONE OF ME, " Chapter V

BOOOOM! The sound that came from the black stealth plane as it was heading over Madison Ave & 59th & 7th streets as it was heading towards the south street seaport on the east river was like that of a firecracker on the fourth of July, loud & thunderous. As the billowing smoke from the building that was formally known as Interlude Energy Enterprises was filling the night sky the fire chief in charge of two more groups of fighters besides his own & two groups of emergency medical teams besides his own had just lost a man trying to safely reach a part of the foundation that was not burning was having a immense headache from the stress of things not working here as they should. Then he heard something but not knowing what it was because no one could see it either matter very little, if not at all. The important thing that mattered now was the idea itself: How to get height when ladders failed? A helicopter or a plane. He lifted his face shield covering his face so he was protected from the smoke as he reached for his intercom radio walkie to be heard clearly, "Hey are any of you extra emergency medical teams from Cornerstone treatment facilities network, down at the corner there?"
The city maintenance teams & police officers were busy with helping fire fighters & the emergency medical teams get at the supposed source of what had caused this "Hell on earth" right in the middle of Madison Avenue a manhole that lead to the sewer system. After hours of removing overturned vehicles & bodies they were able to get to work, the man hole still had a excess of steam or could it have been smoke from the trapped heat still smoldering to the street level. To make sure it wasn't to hot from whatever it was that billowing out of there the fire fighters were spraying foam from fire hoses. -Squawk "Hey are any of you extra emergency medical teams from Cornerstone treatment facilities network, down at the corner there?" came over Kyle Marson's walkie talkie. He was busy strapping a unfortunate man that had received third degree burns from gravel impaling his body & face to a gurney & loading it into the back of an ambulance, while continuing to be ready to deal with far worse than this. Kyle reaches for his walkie talkie from his belt pressing the red receiver button to respond, "This is medic Kyle Marson from Cornerstone treatment facilities chief we're busy on our end here as well as you guys are but what can I assit you with sir?"
"Marson this is Frankerson I need to know does Cornerstone treatment facilities have a chopper available to help us reach a non burning floor here at Interlude Energy Enterprises & how soon will it be before it gets here."
"Did you say a floor there at Interlude Energy Enterprises is not burning Frankerson, how strange? I'll radio your situation to CTF right away it will be forty three minutes before they get to us here so hold on as best you can."
"It will be the only thing we can do for now anyway" Frankerson replied that came through Kyle's walkie talkie.
***********************
Across the country on a California road leading out of Los Angeles the small Honda Accord was heading southwest on highway 10 towards west Covina where Samantha Ryder lived in a house on west Oakdale street. The three people inside the car were listening to west Covina's own WPEN-105.4 "Rock of time hour" the song that the station happen to be playing as they turned onto Oakdale was "My Clone sleeps Alone" by Pat Benatar. They had come from the Ranch House a restaurant that served the best steaks in the state according to George Mc Rain that had come with Sasha Evermore & Jonathan Ryder to find out more of what had happen to Jon's father in New York while he was lecturing on satellite technology for farming uses, George himself had something he wanted to tell Jon about Jon's own "About your theory" on cloning technologies that he was willing to help with.
As Jon rang her doorbell he heard Sam's German Shepherd/wolf mix barking down the hallway, Sam was unlocking her door latch to open her door at the same time claiming the dog down. "Hush now Fluffy!, It's just Jonathan & a couple of his friends coming for dessert"
"Hello Sam I brought my teacher George Mc Rain since he was trying tell me something I think at our dinner?, I think I know what it's about that he had for Sasha & I" Jon reached out to ruffle Fluffy's head as Sam held the door open for them to enter. "Hey puppy how are you girl?" Fluffy lead Jon & his friends to the living room as Sam went to her island kitchen to pull out the apple pie she'd put in the oven. "Can I help you with anything Ms Ryder in setting up?" offered Sasha. "Well you can tell me, why your all really her Sasha because as far as I know I told Jon everything I know about what I heard from the TV on what's going on in New York with his father over his cellphone at the restaurant..." Sasha was grabbing small plates for dishing up the pie. "Ms Ryder why we are here is like your son said Mr Mc Rain has something he was wanting to tell us at the Ranch House restaurant about our class I think? And I would like to know why your own son disrespects his own parents." Sam pulled out a pie cutter from her silverware drawer to place on the counter top of the island, while the pie was cooling for a few minutes. "Oh I see well it's been a long time since I told any of Jon's friends this that's for sure, but you have a right to know my dear, since he likes you so much., Would any you like some ice cream with the pie or something to drink with it? " The living room was very spacious it had enough room for five display cases or several big screen type of TV, the only thing Sam had in it was a grandfather clock from her great, great, grand parents of truly authentic age significant to knowing her own family heritage. George sitting on her couch took the offer of something to drink with the pie he took coffee, Jon & Sasha took milk with their piece pie Sam herself had water. Now that everyone was comfortable Jon had told Sam that what Sasha had said why they were there was true so the conversation turn to the Ryders family history. "Well Sasha you'd like to know why Jon here shows his father & I disrespect as you see it he has good reason to." "Ain't no lying there Sasha" Jon said he held her hand, Sasha thought she'd joke with them for just a minute. "What are you guys saying that your from a black hole or something, sucking this neighborhood to some type of Twilight Zone dimension?" "Nothing that audacious I don't think or is it Jonathan & Sam?" Mc Rain chimed in. "No as a matter of fact it's deeper than that & I can tell you both Jon has every right to be mad at both of us as parents, Sasha & George" Jon himself started to cry. "See when Jon was little I gave up my right to being any kind of a parent to him & so did Max his father as well. It was Max's father who wanted his son's future set as stone in being the next in line to run Interlude Energy Enterprises before his own happiness could be, whatever that happiness may be." "Good God was it truly that bad honey?" Sasha was wiping Jon's check as she saw how his own beginnings troubled him so. "It just kept getting worse, please tell her the rest of it Sam." "Well see I myself had known Max as child as we grew up together his father had started out as a good man but then his work started to be a strain on everyone around him, so much so it was all he had on his mind years later when he was listening to his son's talk of marriage. Max tried to explain that he love a good ol' fashion country girl that he knew forever. Max forgot to tell his dad that I was about to have Jon. So he forbade Max & I from getting hitched, when Jon was born Max & I tried our damnedest to put the past behind us & raise Jon with my parents in secret but then somehow Max's father found out about us & told us we could get married but he would decide what was best for the baby." Sasha herself started to tear up as she was listening, George knew how she felt about what he was going to share with them & he thought he should tell Jon his news in private. "Well anyway Max's father put Jon into a adoption agency & the worst part was Jon was only three years old so we never had time to bound" "That might have been your worst part but not mine, Sam." "I'm know and I really sorry Jon your life always been a mess hasn't it..." " You can say that for sure, see Sasha as I was growing up till I was fifteen I kept bouncing from state & adoption agencies to good home, for very short periods of time because the adoptive parents in each choice were abusive to one another or me, until I moved here to Covina with Sam's mother Trisha Ryder." "Jon to turn from sad stories to a more uplifting note I want share something with you, that I'm sure you may like I was thinking in private of sharing with you without Sasha here, but about your in "About your theory" from last week, You ladies don't mind do you.." "I guess not really" Sam said "Why were you afraid to share it with me present.." Sasha asked as she took a sip of her milk. "The why isn't really important right now it's just from your class file I know how touchy this as a subject is for you Ms Evermore.." "Well can I at least hear what it is about anyway?" "Sure I see why not, after class last Friday I got to thinking about Jon's theory on using cloning for medical purposes..." "What do you mean by medical purposes & cloning my son's full of ideas but that is wrong right Sasha & Jon?" Sam asked as she interrupted. George held up his pointing finger in the air, "Just listen yes right now it's still illegal by any means to place replicated material in the human body, unless approved by the American Medical Association I called my brother Kendall whose a state senator in New Hampshire & I asked him about this because he's also..." "He's also what George?, I hope whatever you told him that he knows I'm not in any way meaning for my idea to be world dominating causing, just helpful if they can use it in that flied of science..." Jon said before George could finish what he needed to say. "He's also part of that state medical board of trustee & don't worry I explained it to him plain & simple what you are meaning to do with it wholeheartedly... He told me that if you Jonathan can talk to the United States National Medical Science Center in Washington D.C. with five collages from here in sunny California, he will start legislation to approve of cloning being used in the everyday medicine & you will be supported as well by me if you'd like?" Jon looked at both of the main ladies in his life before giving George his answer, "That's to deal with isn't it, for now I can only say I'll think about it." Both Sam & Sasha looked at him wide eyed.
*****************
It was now half pass midnight when the helicopter from Cornerstone Treatment Facilities was using it's search light to find street signs or the still flaming building that was known as Interlude Energy Enterprises. It had actually taken longer than Marson had told fire chief Frankerson but that was because they were so busy at the hospital, they had to refuel the helicopter & to fix the search light's faulty wiring before take off. Now landing to pick up Frankerson & four others to take them to that non burning floor of Interlude Energy Enterprises, " What is that floor made of that doesn't burn?' Frankerson thought as he & his fellow team members climbed into the window of the twelfth floor. Running down the floor checking each room was no easy task for there were personal everywhere wondering why the were safe, expect one a woman by the name of Jewel Robberson she had to tell whoever was in charge that the main computer hard drive in Mr. Carter office had been deleted by what she found attached to the monitor a black Raven model head piece with white eyes. It was when she saw Frankerson that she called out to him by whistling, "Hey chief I'm Mr. Carter personal assistant & I found this here attached to his computer monitor" she was holding the head peice in her hand. Frankerson grabbed her other hand "Let's get you out of here Miss to a safe place & worry about that mystery later alright?, & do you know what this floor's structure is made of?" "Yes I do but it wasn't here originally when the building was constructed & I don't know who made it but it was before the Carter family brought the building, Mr Carter calls it Truelium, is he OK by the way do you know?" "He's not in the building as I know of dead or alive, let's go & get out of here" They are the last to board the helicopter Jewel's eyes were tearing up, an hour later she was at the local police precinct telling them of what she'd found on that monitor she saw on their TV screens all about the destruction of Carnegie Hall & was truly scared for Mr. Carter now after seeing this she was sure he was dead for sure.

As the stealth plane was landing at the south street seaport & placing Max Carter on his own freighter to hold him in a safe place till Bruce Raven needed his further services, wasn't easy because of the darkness. After placing a bomb in his micro transmitter that he was going to be placing in his prisoner's head, Ben thought the best place for concealing it would be wearing it in his ear. Ben Mcknight's cell rang as he got finished with his own plans for Max Carter as well if need be. It was Mr. Raven on the other end of his cell he'd wanted to talk with him anyway about something like a deal for not killing Max. "You better listen to me, Mr Raven I have a micro transmitter bomb attached to your prize boy here & if you don't want a real disaster on your hands anymore than you have I want my dead men alive & I don't care how it's handled I just want what's owed me you bastard" "I may be able to help you out in that said department Mr Mcknight but right now lets neither of us get to trigger happy with Mr. Carter."Bruce had been waiting for Mc Knight's play like this & deal with the worm he would but later so right now as he was looking at a medical text history book from over fifty years with the Holly Bible a top of it open to Genesis 2 the creation of man. "Look Mc Knight heaven forbid I'm not God nor do I wish to be, but I've something else planned besides controlling world wide weather systems, how to find it yet that's what I & you need to be patient about." A cunning smile smirked across Bruce's face.
